Cats have dietary needs that would require them to eat meat in nature. But we can make vegan, synthetic food that meets these needs. In fact, studies have shown that cats on vegan diets tend to be healthier if anything.

I don't understand why people upvote summaries that don't even try to be objective. I honestly think the mods there do notably abuse their power to remove comments, but let people decide that for themselves. This commenter is telling you who to support while being confidently incorrect on the original issue.

I don't understand how you guys are ignoring your own sources, please see my above comment.

No we can't actually, not for cats. But you just keep pushing your irrational and hateful ideology to the empty void because you and every other fuckdamn vegan in this thread is getting blocked.

Look, block who you want, but I don't get this adamant rejection of reality. You think a thing is impossible, someone shows you a study stating that the thing does happen, and you still insist the thing is impossible. You don't even give a reason why. But you have the nerve to say others are being irrational?

To all the other free thinkers using the disagree button for dissent, reflect on if you are actually open to having your mind changed about things in the face of new information. Being occasionally exposed to sincere people that challenge your way of thinking is healthy. You may walk away with a more accurate view of something you previously dismissed, or even if you don't have your mind changed, you are enriched with the confidence that your views can withstand a degree of criticism. And you don't have to reply if you don't want to argue or whatever, but at least be honest with yourself so you can grow.

But... your study doesn't show that it is possible. It shows that even with the natural pressure of the owners to downplay the issues their pets were experiencing, they still had significant health problems.

Please don't speak down to people when it is abundantly clear that you are ignoring critical sections of your own evidence that disagree with your desired outcome.
