I've always wondered how cats, whose ancestors were desert wild cats in Africa, developed a taste for fish.
Well, wonder no more.
As the folks at SciShow observe, we may know how cats taste tuna fish, but the evolutionary forces that led to this is unclear.
Cats, of all sizes, are rather odd mammals, they are one of the few true (obligate) carnivores among mammals, along with seals, hyenas, many seals and whales.
They are unable to taste sweet as well, no taste buds for it.
