CATS NEED MEAT!

Unlike humans and dogs, cats will go blind if they don't eat meat. Cats need taurine, an amino acid found in meat, to keep their eyes in good shape. Many animals can synthesize taurine from vegetable proteins. Cats can't. Cats need their vision for hunting and have excellent night vision and extensive peripheral vision.

And a vegetarian website: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/catfood.html
also gives the same warning about our feline friends.

Thanks for the tidbit. I didn't know that. Then again, I would never try to change any animals true natural nature.

Isn't Taurine in Red Bull? Can't we just let them drink the Red Bull? Peta would be happy.
