Fair enough. Respect for not making your cat vegan, I've heard people try to do this with dogs and cats.
Discussion
Dogs are naturally omnivores and can be healthy and thrive on a properly formulated vegetarian diet. Cats are obligate carnivores. They do not have that option. It is what it is.
I don't think dogs are, they can eat vegetables and fruits but they mostly eat meat only, they could survive but don't think they'd be healthy.
Fair enough, but there's lots of peer-reviewed scientific data that says dogs can not only survive, but be healthy on a plant based diet. Cats on the other hand, absolutely cannot.

I am not Reading all that Peer study , but what concerning is that a lot of dogs and cats are dying of cancer … why ? They end up old and sick and if the veterinarian can not diagnose the disease , they said it’s cancer and the animal need to put to sleep .
There must be something changed “ the way we feed the animal as it’s against their nature habit “
The nature of animal like Cat and Dogs , they are Carnivora which is eat meat .
Have you try to feed your dog , raw meat 🥩 in small chunks everyday for a week ? Don’t give them dog food from store . And see how your dog energy and stamina in a week ?
Translates to "I'm not going to read any of that data, I'm just going to tell you what I think." The fact is dogs are omnivores, cats are obligate carnivores. Period.
Omnivores it is for dog .
Either way, kibble is nothing but dried out baked biscuits with sprayed meat flavoring on it. Cats get 70+% of their hydration from their food. I would rather someone feed their cats cheap wet food than kibble. But the best by far—as obligate carnivores— is a complete raw food diet.
I feed my cat regular just the same , dry and wet food .
Sometimes I ordered sushi and I feed him salmon 🍣… and he refused it ! I stunned .
Cat doesn’t like fish is the absurd thing man can do to animals .
I feel like I agree with your points however I am willing to be proven wrong so I will read up on it. My cat eats dry food and wet food, he likes to have wet food in the morning and dry at night, it's a schedule for him he doesn't like the break 😂
😂 yeah … I bought this wet food with label “ it’s specialised for catherization cat “
I feed my cat And she just run away never want to touch it .
Have you experienced the same , bought the wrong thing, we think we knew best for our pets but it turn out the pet know what best for them self ?
