What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

Cats require a few nutrients which aren't naturally present in plants, such as taurine. Fortunately, those nutrients are easily synthesised, and added to vegan cat foods in order to make them nutritionally complete.

Look at the research before getting emotional.

While it seems dogs need atleast some meat, the scientific consensus is cats can be healthy with a vegan diet and proper supplementation.

I’m not vegan nor do I have a cat, but this debate interested me and I’ve read a couple literature reviews and big papers on the subject.

Cats aren’t what they were 15’000 years ago. Domestication has turned them into an entirely different species.
