I would not dare make any judgements on the dietary restrictions placed on your cat C, because that would just be really shitty on my part. You know what's best, and I hope your cat remains and retains it's health and vigor. I just wanted to say that before I posted this.
I know that all cats from the "big cats" (tigers, lions, panthers, cheetahs, etc) to felis catus (house cats of varying variety) are carnivors (now hammerfan, you may know differently, but that last veternary piece I read stated that they were carnivors). However, dogs, believe it or not, the canis familiaris, are, in fact, omnivorous.
Cats can only derive real nutrition from meat and meat bi-products, while dogs can derive some nutrition from plant material. Over the thousands of years of our companionship with them (cats), in other words, the years that they've allowed us to be in their presence, they have retained their predatory nature.
(The great thing about our relationship with our cats is that it's symbiotic. Like with my Irish... I've been there for him, when he needed my intervention, and he's been there for me. Our love (cat and cat's mum) is a mutal thing. He's not loyal to me, although he does love me and thus is loyal. Ya dig?)
Cats are totally different from dogs. You kick a dog (you deserve to be kicked repeatedly until something breaks...just my opinion) it'll probably return. You kick a cat (same thing) it just might kick back, but it most likely will not return. You have to earn a cat's love and trust, even if you raise it from kitten to adult.
