Nonsense. Cats are obligate carnivores.

It’s because of the taurine that they must be. If they can get a supply of taurine, they might be fine. I remember reading about a lion that wouldn’t eat meat, but he was fine because they made sure he got his taurine. I don’t know if he lived as long or was as vibrant as he should have been.

I call nonsense, too. And I’d want read the study and know exactly who funded it.

Correct. As the result of a relatively short digestive tract (compared to the canine group), they need animal protein as a majority (70+%) of their food source. Their systems cannot process vegetable protein very well.

This. Whomever suggests otherwise is insane and/or should be considered a perpetrator of animal abuse.

for every single general health indicator studied”, the cats included in the study “had better health outcomes when fed vegan diets”.

Except happiness

When was the last time your cat ate your left over salad? Like never? They just make the "Adam Shiffe" up.
