Yeah. I'm a vegan and I took issue with that. Sure we can do scientific studies to see how cats do on vegan diets, but imo that further propels cat domestication which vegans should be against at the very beginning. We already subject cats and other pets to environments that aren't natural to their genetic history. And now vegans are introducing foods that aren't natural, even though taking cats off streets can be seen as the more ethical thing to do, given the alternatives.
Lots of nuance here, but it's not fair to the cats. Any time vegans think for themselves instead of the real victims of animal slavery, they undermine their entire cause.
