Cats cannot taste sweet substances because they lack a functional Tas1r2 gene, which is the gene responsible for detecting sweetness; this genetic mutation occurred millions of years ago when cats' ancestors evolved into obligate carnivores, making sweet-tasting plants unnecessary for their meat-based diet. Cats have only about 470 taste buds compared to humans' 10,000, but they can still taste umami (the savory, meaty flavor) which is essential for their carnivorous diet. This trait is shared by all cats, including big cats like lions and tigers.
