    unlike humans, cats are actually carnivores though, please give it a varied diet

        This is true for a whole food diet, but we can and do add the necessary amino acids for cat nutrition into the kibble almost all pet cats are fed.

        Plant-based cat food costs more though.

          They're also not that well tested yet. Vegan dog foods are solid, but vegan cats foods require careful monitoring of the animals' health.

          Also, non-vegan cat foods already contain a significant amount of plant matter iirc. Companies started moving in the direction of vegan cat food long ago just because of cost cutting.

          Uncritical support for the development of ethical cat food though.

        this is not reliable enough. Cats need to eat meat and it is animal abuse not to feed a cat meat.
