Please don’t put your cat’s health at risk by feeding a non-animal-based diet. Vegetarianism is entirely inappropriate for our obligate carnivores.
How Do We Change the Veterinary Paradigm?
We can have profound respect and admiration for the veterinary profession and still insist on holding them to a higher standard than we’re accustomed to when it comes to their knowledge of cat nutrition.

Don’t be fooled by cat food labels boasting about Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs); check first to make sure the EFA source is actually bio-available to carnivores before letting yourself be too impressed.
Feeding Cereal, Not Raw Feeding, is the Fad
Raw feeding isn’t the fad. Cats and their ancestors have been eating raw food for tens of millions of years.
