There is limited research on the impact of the vegan diet on the feline companions in comparison to canines. As it is not as well known in the general public that cats can be healthy on a plant-based diet provided with taurine, B12, vitamin A.

    it is uncontroversial that dogs and cats are both members of the carnivora order

    Well, if they’re in an order, I guess that determines everything about them.

    You should also go out and force all pandas to switch to hunting, because they’re also in the Carnivora order.

      Good rebuttal. Had not considered the panda case. Still, the inconvenient fact remains that the human lineage for, say, the last 10 million years is mostly vegetarian whereas that of domestic cats is entirely carnivorous.
