“This trend was clear and consistent and these results largely concur with previous, similar studies. A sizeable body of studies have been published within the last two years, exploring health outcomes of vegan diets in cats and dogs, and the environmental impacts of meat-based pet food. This evidence is remarkably consistent—nutritionally sound vegan diets produce health outcomes as good or better, and are associated with major environmental benefits.”
True at least maybe from readily available plant foods or at the concentrations that might be typical in plant foods. I don’t think that’s stopping anyone from creating something that doesn’t contain meat but achieves the needed quantities of nutrients cats need through processing or synthesis.
That said, I’m not feeding my cats any of the currently available forms nor am I in a hurry to.
