no, they can't. please stop spreading this misinformation.




What parts of my message you think is misinformation? Beside multiple anecdotal evidence, heres a paper on the subject:

> No differences in reported lifespan were detected between diet types. Fewer cats fed plant-based diets reported to have gastrointestinal and hepatic disorders. Cats fed plant-based diets were reported to have more ideal body condition scores than cats fed a meat-based diet.

> Cat owner perception of the health and wellness of cats does not appear to be adversely affected by being fed a plant-based diet. Contrary to expectations, owners perceived no body system or disorder to be at particular risk when feeding a plant-based diet to cats.

That's interesting but it's questionaire based so I would not trust it much. There are many levels of bias here.

That is not a study about cats. That was a study about cat owners.
