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

You can identify as a vegan kitty cat.

Oh hey, it me.
There are vegan sources for taurine I think? Like a vegan diet for cats is possible afaik? Also it’s in monster energy so you can lean into that trans stereotype heavilyyy~
Probably gonna get some hate for this, but you know, there’s no scientific basis to argue that cats cannot thrive on a vegan diet, if all nutritional needs are met. We really don’t have solid data available, but what we have doesn’t allow for that conclusion and while there are caveats which should be considered (urinary acidity, formulated foods not being as nutritionally sound as they claim), it actually may have health benefits, too, much like a vegan diet for humans.
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.
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.
Through science many things are possible
