There is limited research on the impact of the vegan diet on the feline companions in comparison to canines. As it is not as well known in the general public that cats can be healthy on a plant-based diet provided with taurine, B12, vitamin A.

I haven’t seen this brand locally but it does look decently priced. I don’t live in the US but I do see a couple specialty stores in Canada that can ship it. I might give it a try. Thanks for thr recommendation :)
Hey, for reasons I briefly go into below, I might consider another brand of cat food. A lot of things on this website point to it being a scam at worst or, at best, written by someone who probably shouldn’t be trusted with the delicate balance that is your cat’s health on a plant-based diet.
Yeah, I’m removing the comment with that link, because I genuinely do not trust this website; everything on it sounds completely unhinged, and that doesn’t inspire confidence in me that they can pull off something so delicate as a plant-based food for cats.
Like the entire site is just bizarre. One of the alleged testimonials from “[REDACTED]” reads:
“[REDACTED]”
Literally what on Earth is this. The site just keeps referencing some single “university study” over and over again and doesn’t seem to link to it. The production value for the UI seems high, but the contents frankly come off as some combination of machine generation and psychosis. It’s like they took a Katamari through a list of buzzwords.
I have to say I am really disappointed with this hand holding form of moderation, treating me as a child that can’t make up my own mind on a product. I was able to find that cat food sold through a reputable pet store and now I can’t remember the name because you’ve deleted it. You’ve decided your opinion trumps my research and that’s not how an open forum for discussion should be.
I know you think that animals are going to be harmed and you’re trying to do the right thing, but it’s simply overplaying your role and blocking discussion. Imagine going into a BDSM community and telling the people there that what they’re doing is harmful and they need to see a psychiatrist. Maybe you could be right? But it’s not your call.
You should be stopping hateful speach, bullying, and trying to keep illegal content off the server. Sluthing links and deleting posts because they don’t match your opinion is simply not the role of a mod. I don’t mean to be rude or insult you personally, but these kinds of actions matter and really make me reconsider if this is a community I want to be a part of if it is run this way.
