I found this most interesting.
Since I am one who belongs on both sides of this argument I think I would have
a go.
As
much as some of us would love to keep our entire lifestyle cruelty free ,
sometimes that’s not compatible. Even dogs who are brought up on vegan diets
can become very unhealthy very quickly and some just can't cope with it at all.
Cats strictly carnivores and are unable to be vegan for any time without it having long term effects on their health. Any vet will tell you this.
Some simple reasons why cats can't be vegan ;
*They can only get much needed vitamin A from animal sources.
*They can't convert beta carotene into vitamin A.
*Cat can't produce taurine unlike us & dogs, taurine helps run & maintain the cardiovascular system
& the nervous system.
*Vitamin B12 which is present only in animal products can't be synthesis by cats.
*Thiamin,Arachidonic acid are just some more simple but much needed elements the body needs which a cat can't get from any plant based diet.
As much as I believe in a cruelty free lifestyle, is it really cruelty free if your cat's suffering? When you are a pet owner you acknowledge all aspects of your animal no matter what and you accommodate everything it may need for it's development no matter what. You can't pick & change on biology. If you don't like that, don't get a cat.
