I don't understand what I see as a religious objection, but cats can be fed vegan pet food. It's a complicated formula, and maybe it's not perfect yet, but I've yet to see anyone actually give scientific proof that vegan pet foods are bad for a cat. Some had early problems, but that was years ago. It is somewhat irrelevant, the thrown out meat from human consumption is enough for pets at the moment. And all this goes back to we need lab grown meat. It should be priority number one across the world. We need to learn to ignore the zealots talking about behaviour change. It's needed for the environment and the poor who can't afford meat.

> Cats can be fed vegan pet food. This is a myth, cat is an hyper-carnivore. They don't even have sugar receptors in the tongue. The solution is really simple, if you want a vegan pet, just have a bunny.

You can't just take nutrients from plants and other processes. Many humans believe it's personally important to kill and eat gods creatures as they are gifted to us as part of his bounty. But I'm not religious, these are your beliefs. I'm not here to stop you killing, please don't stop those of us want to feed our cats Vegan Cat Food, from doing so without scientific evidence.

But that's another problem.

The cute ball of lava licking their paw in front of me nods. You've got the idea, human. Now bring me real food.
