CAT FOOD NUTRIENTS NEEDED: some details. From the Plenteousveg.com site with update comments.
Taurine is an amino acid, which is a building block of proteins. Taurine is only available in animal tissues, but we humans are able to create taurine out of the amino acid cysteine. Cats are unable to do this and will need to supplement with taurine. If cats do not get enough taurine, they can go blind! Other symptoms of taurine deficiency in cats is deafness, metabolic problems, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and poor immune response.
Vitamin A is another nutrient only found in animal tissues, but we humans can create Vitamin A out of beta carotene. Cats cannot do this, so you will need vegan cat food which contains Vitamin A. Deficiency causes problems like conjunctivitis, eye problems, muscle weakness, and weight loss. Please not that vitamin A is toxic in excess. Cats need about 100IU per kg of body weight per day, but amounts of 5000IU/kg per day are toxic.
Fat is incredibly important to a cat’s diet. They require a type of Omega 6 fatty acid called arachidonic acid which is only found in animal products. Humans are able to create arachidonic acid out of the linoleic acid found in plants. Cats cannot do this and will need arachidonic acid. A deficiency can cause skin problems and decreased growth, as well as problems with reproduction and blood platelet formation.
n.b. VEGAN OMEGA NUTRIENTS NOW EXIST.
Cats have higher B vitamin requirements than many other animals. Meat is very rich in B vitamins. Many plants are also good sources of B vitamins (though no plants contain B12). But, while many vegans might not want to admit this, meat is still a better source of most B vitamins – especially in the concentrations that cats need. Deficiency in B vitamins for cats can cause problems like hemorrhagic diarrhea, slowed healing, loss of nerve control, weakness, hair loss, anemia, hypoplasia of bone marrow, and others.

Webpage created start date 12th Feb 2017. It doesn't matter what we think most people currently think or do...if we think we can do something good even if we think it small and insignificant...it makes a difference. As the fairy queen said to Frodo in the Lord of the Rings...even the smallest person in the world can make a difference. ONE makes a difference. of about 11 thousand killed land animals and 10 thousand marine animals totalling 22 THOUSAND ANIMALS BRED AND KILLED for 1 human flesh eater lifetime, just for FOOD ! Totally unnecessarily. Just to put a FIGURE to what 1 PERSON can achieve ! SUCCESS !
