      There’s a world of difference between supplementing taurine and engineering a synthetic meat-free diet for a cat

      What do you think the supplemental taurine is intended to accomplish?

      This just reminds me of people who lost their fucking minds when they found out a big chunk of McD’s hamburgers were soy protein. This is a cost-cutting measure as often as it is any ethical consideration. Your cat may be far closer to vegan than you even realize.

          You people are going to kill your cats.

          My cats lived to the ripe old age of 16, before they passed. Somehow, the vet never seemed to find all these maladies during their annual checkups.

          But hey, maybe the random haters on the internet know more than a couple of trained professionals.
