    That article’s source is a LinkedIn post 0_o

    That would be interesting if true though, but seems cruel. I’ve considered this for my pets but thought it u healthy and mean

    So, what nutrients were believed to only be available from animal based sources, and what plant based sources are they able to come from now?

    I see a lot of people on both sides but nobody is discussing the actual nutrition deficits (or lack thereof)

      There are kibble brands that have synthetic taurine, b12.

    I just made my cat a garden salad with lettuce, cucumber, rocket, kale, and snow peas. he’s not eating it. What’s wrong?

      That’s a strawman. Cats need to eat a plant-based kibble formulated with the necessary taurine and b12.

        That’s an orthorexic statement. Cats need to eat what they’ve been eating for 3 million years.

              Keep your cats indoors and feed them a vegan diet.
