Read the excerpts.From A Feeding Study about Cats by Daniel CohenA team of researchers has discovered that cats that eat once a day are healthier and more satisfied than cats that are fed multiple times a day. The team studied eight healthy indoor cats over three weeks. Some of the cats were fed once a day, while others were fed four times a day. The researchers observed the cats’ activity levels each day. They also measured the cats’ body weights and the levels of various chemicals in their blood. The data showed that the cats that ate once a day were less hungry and had more protein in their blood, suggesting that they are better able to build and maintain muscle. The researchers found that neither group gained weight during the study.From Responsible Cat Ownership by Navita GuptaOver 25% of households in the United States have at least one cat. How can these cat owners keep their pets happy and healthy? First, it is important to feed cats healthy food. The amount of food a cat needs depends on the size and activity level of the cat. For example, if the cat is very playful, it will need more food as opposed to a cat that spends most of the day lying around. Either way, it is important to keep cats on a feeding schedule. Most cat owners feed their cats twice a day—usually every eight to twelve hours. Others choose to feed their cats once per day. No matter what schedule an owner chooses, food should never be left out all day. This can cause cats to overeat and gain weight.v

A
Cohen is describing how cats can build muscle, while Gupta is explaining how much exercise cats need to stay healthy.
B
Cohen is explaining how to keep cats healthy, while Gupta is trying to show why it is important to feed cats at least twice a day.
C

D
Cohen is showing that scientific studies help cats, while Gupta is giving reasons why cat owners make the best decisions for their pets.
