About Motilix
We started with a question nobody could answer
The question was simple. Is my cat actually getting enough?
Nobody could give a straight answer. The bag said complete and balanced. The vet said probably. The internet said a hundred different things, most of them trying to sell something.
So we went and read the research ourselves.
What we found
Cats spend taurine every single day, and they can't store it. It's how they break down food, and a portion of it leaves the body for good. Almost no other pet works this way.
In 1987, researchers at UC Davis worked out that cats were dying of heart failure because their food was short on it. Nobody had known. Not the owners, not the vets, not the pet food companies. The industry fixed the food afterwards, and the rules that came out of it are still in place today.
But those rules set a minimum, not an ideal. Thirty-nine years later, that's still true. And cats still spend taurine every day.
What we decided to do about it
We didn't invent a new molecule. Taurine is taurine, and any brand telling you theirs is special is telling you a story.
What we did instead was fix the things that actually go wrong with it:
· One ingredient. No flavor coatings for a cat to eat around, no fillers to upset a sensitive stomach, no capsule to go gummy in a humid kitchen.
· A number on the scoop. So you know what you gave, instead of guessing.
· The reasoning, out loud. Every claim on this site has the research behind it, and we tell you when the honest answer is your cat is probably fine.
