I would think that the reason for this omission is not because of Evolution, but because cats don't need to eat sugar, therefore eating some might be harmful.

if eating sugar was harmful, then that would cause the preservation of organisms with a sweet tasting gene, since they would be able to identify harmful things and spit it out. that is one of the two principal reasons we have taste.

They don't dance, either.

Anyway, the OP is really interesting. I never knew cats couldn't taste sweet things. lol, I wish they could explain my cat's love of tomato sauce XP


I've read that Rabbits have a low tolerance to sugar. I can't seem to locate where I read that, though. So don't take my word for it. I've never read about them lacking a gene for tasting sweets, though. I tried looking it up...but...internet...yeah XP

Only 1 kind of feline got on the arc of Noah, all modern cat-species come from that. No that is not evolution. That explains the pseudegene across all cats.

Our Creator in his infinite wisdom obviously knew that cats didn't NEED to taste sweets, and thus disabled the ability. </Hovind>

Maybe the gene has another purpose. Maybe the first cat loved sugar (there was no high cholestoral in Eden), but since then, sugar became bad for cats.

Wow. :eek: Mystman, I will never doubt your precognition again. :bow:
