A wet food that contains 27% phosphorus would be too high in phosphorus for a cat. So, when it comes to phosphorus, the ideal amount for a cat is around 0.5%. And the maximum amount of carbohydrates a cat can tolerate is 10%, with the ideal amount being closer to 0-5%. The minimum amount of fat a cat needs is 5%, but the ideal amount is closer to 15-20%. While the minimum amount of protein a cat needs is around 18%, the ideal amount is closer to 30-35%.
