    I was not discussing the philosophy of cats.

    You literally just said " they don’t really jive with a vegan lifestyle" They can’t chose it for themselves.

    They require meat as a part of their biology.

    That’s not necessarily true, they just need the nutrients. Research in the last 4 years contradicts that claim.

      I think there may be a language barrier here. Stating cats don’t “jive with a vegan lifestyle” is referring to the lifestyle of the individual with the cat, not the opinions cat themselves. A few studies in a controlled environment were they kept cats alive is not the same as what’s best for the cats. There are definitely ethical concerns with attempting that at home.
