Why is there not a pork flavored cat food?

You can find fish, chicken, turkey and beef even lamb, but never pork. Why is that?

Update:

You can find pork as an ingredient in Dog food so the Muslim thing is out.

If you know of where they sell it please inform me.

Update 2:

Almost Bridey, I'm looking for "Pork Flavor" not just pork as an ingredient, but thanks

    They found that the top allergy as far as meat goes in both cats and dogs is pork and then second to that is Beef. That's why you find many diets that have lamb and rice or fish and potato because that is a common food allergy. Besides cats don't eat pigs even if they were to be let loose you always see them eating fish, birds and of course vermin but there is no food for that. that's why you see foods that are chicken and fish flavored for cats. Most cats prefer chicken type diets but some really do love fish diets as long as its a Cat food and not straight fish or chicken. Cats need an essential dietary requirement called taurine which are found in all cat foods that you can buy.
