The daily taurine intake for cats varies depending on age: no more than 0.3 grams for 2-year-olds, no more than 0.6 grams for 4-year-olds, and so on. Taurine is an essential fatty acid for cats, but they cannot synthesize it themselves. It is recommended that owners supplement their cats under the guidance of a veterinarian. Therefore, when choosing cat food and canned cat food, you can check the taurine content. If the content is sufficient, there is no need for separate supplementation; if it is insufficient, supplementation is necessary. 
What happens if a cat takes too much taurine?
Cats can metabolize excess taurine through their bodies and it rarely causes harm. Conversely, a lack of taurine can lead to nutritional metabolic problems in cats, causing reproductive dysfunction in pregnant cats, weakened immune systems, retinal atrophy, and cardiomyopathy.
