I do love cats,and all animals .
I do not believe that children cannot live and thrive on a vegetarian diet. However i think is not the same argument.
Humans can eat and process a variety of food, our body are made for it, some animals are designed by nature to consume flesh:teeth,digestive system,metabolism. I don't think is a matter of new science etc,it's a fact.
Taurine is for instance essential for the health of a cat,since they o not synthesize the compound, causing conditions like CRD and DCM.
How are these nutrients essential to cat health introduced in a vegetarian cat diet?
Due to the cruelty of animal testing, i'm try no to buy any supplements,so for me that would be a dilemma...
I love animals, and indeed i wish and hope to see the day that our specie will stop to view them as a disposable comodity to be use for our benefit,
but i think that the arguments are not so black and white.As i see it the responsibility i have toward the animals that humans domesticated is to let them live according to their nature not my sensitivities.
Thanks for let me express my view.

Cats,like all felids, are obligate carnivores, you should study their physiology before letting a manufacturer of "vegan" cat food convince you that is just as good for your cats.
If you don't want to feed your cats meat,I would suggest not to have cats,or at least let them go out to find their own preys.For petesake let him have his lizard,he probably needs it badly.
Is sad,is hard to watch (we don't have to),but is nature way.
I don't eat meat, but I can't stand it when I see this kind of extremism.
And by the way deny meat to a carnivorous animal is animal cruelty.
