Specifically, cats have high protein requirements and their metabolisms appear unable to synthesize essential nutrients such as retinol, arginine, taurine, and arachidonic acid; thus, in nature, they must consume flesh to supply these nutrients.[6][7]
the label "obligate carnivore" is only relevant in nature. in pretty much the same way human vegans need artificial B12, vegan cats need a few artificial nutrients such as taurine but can otherwise be fed a vegan diet. now, before some triggered omni is crying about animal abuse because veganism is not "natural enough" for a cat: think about where cat food comes from. the suffering of the animals who make up cat food is far greater than the suffering of a vegan cat. it's just that most of you don't give a single shit about animals you designate as food.
since vegan cat food needs some special additives and can't contain some things, it's best to just buy it:
