Due to their obligate carnivorous nature, cats require meat in their diet. Nowadays, many people are starting to think about changing their pets' diets as plant-based diets become more popular.

There are a variety of reasons for this, including moral, ethical, or health-related ones. However, owners should consider the hazards before considering feeding their pets a vegan or vegetarian diet.

In the end, giving your pet any food that does not satisfy their nutritional requirements is probably going to result in long-term health problems. The issue for cats is that they have a far poorer ability to digest and utilize carbohydrates than dogs and humans, and as a result, they have a much higher requirement for protein.

Furthermore, a cat's diet must include taurine, an amino acid that is necessary for many of its key cells and organs, including its heart. Because they are unable to produce taurine on their own, cats must eat it.

Only naturally occurring proteins derived from animals contain taurine, which is crucial for healthy growth, vision, and immunological function. This implies that cats require meat in order to obtain essential elements that aren't found in plants.

If fed a plant-based diet, cats can get quite sick. Yet, some people are delusional enough to ignore these facts and still proceed to feed their cats a vegan meal.

We see one of such people in today's Reddit post made by u/CristyMumbay.

Here's the headline

OP posted the screenshot of the story

Redditors trooped to the comments section to air their opinions and here are a few of the most upvoted ones

No vet should euthanize for no just cause

The OP says that this person might have gotten away with it

Killing a cat is going against the moral vegan code

The OP revealed more in the comments section

The person got into detail in comments, they force feed all their cats vegan food(vegetables not vegan cat food), they have a narcissistic quality to them as their pined post pretty much says they only allow those who kiss their feet to follow them

Carnivorous animals cannot be vegan

The Reddit gods are a bit two sided

The OP did the research and it's quite legit

The owner has no clue about what's natural for a cat

Cats won't live long without meat

This person just starved the cat and then proceeded to kill it

For the duration of their lives, your cat needs to eat a healthy, balanced diet. A vet may frequently recommend a particular diet for pets with pre-existing diseases like heart and kidney problems, and a vegan or vegetarian diet may exacerbate those conditions.

Let's ignore the absurdity of making a cat become vegan but then, isn't euthanizing a cat violating the vegan's moral principles? Tell us what you think about this post by dropping a comment below and don't forget to share as well.
