how to feed cats non meat diets

That is honestly an idiocy, anyone doing that is hurting their cat for no other reason than ideological. If you don't want a pet that eat meat, maybe don't get a carnivore ffs.

I asked my vet what she thought about cats being fed a vegan diet, and she said she didn't have a problem with it because they do that for cats with allergies already. Although taurine is a legitimate issue.

carnivore just means they can't synthesise certain stuff and need to get it from eating other animals, but if there are ways to artificially synthesise or somehow otherwise get those elements, why would that be a problem then?
