there are horror stories about people who tried to turn their cats to a vegatarian diet - (leaving out cat foods with meats in them or whatever) -

it usually goes horrible - humans are omnivores, like bears - we can easily live on veggies if we plan them well enough, but cats have been carnivores for thousands of years, and biologically, it's really hard to have a veggie diet without substantial effort and to the detriment of the animal.

It's like that Futurama cartoon where they had the lion they had weened off meat and onto tofu, and they had a shot of the lion and he looked weak and sickly - [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] - felines are MEAT EATERS - and nothing in their biology even hints at being biologically designed for a vegatarian diet.

That was a joke! No one is suggesting cat abuse by putting them on a diet of garbanzo beans.

it is abuse, imo.
