Did they have dedicated cat food before WWII? until recently I was convinced people were just giving their dogs and cats their scraps. With cats possibly not even giving them the scraps and just letting them go hunt.

Kibble was ‘invented’ during ww2 as a way to get around shortages on metal for canning. But it’s essentially pemmican with below human grade standards. Works fine for dogs, manages to work well enough for cats to survive, so an industry was born even when the material shortages ended.
