The nutritional needs of cats can be easily met with a balanced vegan diet and certain supplements. Vegetarian diets and vegan recipes are nutritionally balanced and also come in a special formula for the kittens and the cats. Some people think removing meat and fish from your cat’s meal is unnatural. But, it’s not as most of the animal in the wild survive on plant matter. Vegetarian cats enjoy their food and good health. A vegetarian diet for your cat is also ethically consistent with the animal rights philosophy.
