Carnivore means that nutrients typical found in meat are required for a nutrient-complete diet. Carnivore doesn’t mean that meat itself is needed. Vegan cat food exists and has artificial taurin added for example. The kneejerk reaction of CaTs NeEd MeAT ThO is so frustrating. Educate yourself and stop be hypocrits.

There’s a lot more to a balanced cat diet than just the nutrients. Even feeding a cat cooked rather than raw meat will lead to malformities and deficiencies in the long run. Forcing a cat on a vegan diet is an experiment with their health and well-being, which will most likely cause it to suffer unnecessarily.
If you really are that militant about not serving meat, just don’t have a pet that is an obligate carnivore. There are plenty of herbivore animals to have as pets.
Yes, because cooking destroys certain nutrients. Has nothing to do with the source of the nutrients.
A diet is balanced as long as it contains all the nutrients an organism needs in a bio-available form and vegan cat food that checks these marks exist.
Not wanting animals to be needlessly killed isn’t militant btw. but nice buzzword.
Also, militant is a frequently used and suitable word in this case - acting grammar nazi isn’t really helping your case here. (unless you aren’t intensely devoted to not serving meat? If so, my apologies lol)

Precisely, even such a minor deviation from the natural diet of cats can cause serious health issues.
General scientific consensus is that commercially available vegan cat food is nutritionally inadequate (despite claiming otherwise).
General consensus amongst veterinarians is that feeding cats vegan or vegetarian diets is likely to cause health issues.

Should go stop lions from eating gazelles ass first. You should always intervene in nature.
aaaand you’re now blocked.
Thanks for telling all of us. Vital information 🤡🤡🤡
