Taurine is an amino acid and should not be problem as taurine can be produced from non meat sources

I certainly would NOT recommend a vegan diet for male cats the lack of acidity in current veggie food can cause crystals to form in the bladder this is potentially dangerous to male cats. Some years ago my sister started feeding her three cats a vegan diet, the male cat soon developed crystals and was unable to urinate this required expensive emergency veterinary treatment and is now back on regular food.The females continue to be fed a vegan diet currently provided by AMI (Ami Vegan Cat food ) and are doing remarkably well.

There are no real health benefits associated with vegan cat foods Company’s who provided them claim not to test on animals, the truth is your pet tests the product. With most meat contained in regular pet foods coming from parts of animals that humans find undesirable and would discard I fail to see the moral benefits. There is no reason why a HIGHLY processed vegan cat food, safe for ALL cats cannot be produced, but is it worth the effort with so many slaughterhouses serving humans?
