cw: this might destroy quite a few illusions
after thinking about it for a long time, i cannot identify as a kitty cat, because i cannot accept meat to be my natural primary source of calories. oh how cruel it is to depend on killing others just to sustain yourself.
i do agree with the naps though. :3
I don’t think you’re wrong but for anyone thinking about feeding their cat a vegan diet: dont. The no solid data is important and it would require a special diet that you cant get currently.
I really wonder, what makes you say that?
We do have guidelines from authorities about what nutritional values cat food should have and manufacturers usually claim their product follows these guidelines.
Now I’ll give you that - they’ve been shown to be full of shit often - but that’s actually true for both vegan and meat-based formulas. Meat-based even comes with its own set of problems and related health issues, like food containing rotten meat and plastic packaging.
Manufacturers should be put under real scrutiny to make sure their product always contains all the necessary nutrients, vegan or not.
Most catfood that you can buy in the shops is actual trash. Anything containing grain should be avoided. The good stuff doesn’t really cost much more if you buy it in bulk and the cats don’t need as much of it so you end up using less.
Orijen and Bozita are both good grain free options, if anyone is looking for recommendations.
