OK, yes, you are correct and I had not looked at the comparison study. Very cool! Ty.

Cats, even domesticated species, are still obligate carnivores, as in they will die of malnutrition eventually if they are put on a non-meat diet.

They 100% need to eat meat to survive. Vegan cat food will kill them slowly as they can’t properly process the proteins in plants.

Cats are carnivores.
