Cats eat no plant matter naturally. Absolutely none. If you have studies somehow proving that they can live by eating only things that they naturally never eat, feel free to educate me. But as far as I’m aware, attempting to put cats on a vegan diet is animal abuse.
I don’t think they propose feeding your cats literally vegetables, but cat food made specifically for them, containing all the proteins and micronutrients they need, sourced from plant based materials.
Yes, but I am questioning whether such a thing is being produced and actually equivalent. The thread further down cites for example synthetic taurine to be of inferior nutritional value to natural taurine.
This isn’t something I know a lot about, and it’s probably possible to produce vegan cat food with sufficient nutrition somehow, but there’s still a burden of proof that such a thing is actually on the market and shown to not be worse for cats.

First result for me on “vegan cat food” https://veganpetfood.co.nz/
Second result for “studies on vegan cat food” https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37703240/
I agree with you but cats will eat some grasses occasionally.
You agree with someone spouting incorrect statements?
I agree with their overall point, yes.
Their overall point is the first line which is wrong.
