Do they advocate a vegetarian diet for cats? I know they do for dogs,

and have seen it on tv. They recommended a diet based around steamed

vegetables for dogs.

When I was younger, I ran into a few PETA folks at a Revolutionary

Communist Party table that I was walking by. I was vegan at the time,

and surprised that the PETA woman fed her cat tuna fish. She said she

had to compromise her ideology because it was her (correct)

understanding that cats couldn't synthesize an amino acid only found

in animal products.
