    Just don’t try to force it on your pets.

    Cats are obligate carnivores.

      Believe me vegans put a lot more thought into nutrition than omni’s do. Aside from that pet ownership is not vegan. The word “ownership” being operative. If you find yourself having to care for an animal then that’s a different situation of course.

      Here is some surface-level reading about caring for animals in a vegan way https://www.peta.org/living/animal-companions/caring-animal-companions/

      Obligate carnivores in nature. Why do you care if a cat is fed with fortified plant bits vs fortified animal bits? Neither product exists in nature and the cat can live a healthy life on both. Also breeding cats to be pets is completely unnatural, so why are you fine with that?

      There are people working on foods for cats which aren’t based on cruelty. There already exist options, though some are sold as special diets.

      Example: https://sustainablepetfood.info/

      https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0284132 it’s already happening.

      The work in “lab meat” products is actually going to contribute to this too.

      Note: cats don’t eat cows or pigs or even adult chickens in “nature”.
