Melissa, Please don't feel "dumb" at all about it..... I also pondered the idea for my cats, but never went thru w/ it the whole way..... Me, being a vegan, well, let's just say I came to a point where I couldn't fathom feeding my babies any meat!!!! And, I do have a vegetarian dog - due to severe allergies. {Eating ANY meat in food almost killed her & she had very bad results. MANY surgeries, severe ear problems - she's deaf now, skin problems, etc]. I took her home from shelter 'cause there was NO way she'd survive there...... Let's just say vegetarian meals were NOT an option unless she was put in a crate. And, she was used to roaming freely on the 22 acre farm..... And, she was adopted out as a puppy [she's now 14], and the people knew she had problems but never took her to a vet! (No wonder I prefer animals over people!) They "returned" her when she was 8 because they "Didn't want her to die!" Can you believe that???? And now I do cook food, including meat [none for Middy] for all my guys......... Just very glad I do w/ all this stuff gong on now....... I really believe that our babies do need at least some meat in their diets. (Unless they have allergies like my Middy). It's crazy, me, the vegan, cooking meat..... Oh well, my babies are my life...... So, please don't feel bad about all this....... Just wanted to fill you in on my story. No veg. cats, but a totally veg. dog..... Hugs, Patti & her gang, including my vegetarian dog
