Yeah that study is pretty convincing, especially along with the other commenter providing a link claiming that the parts of a cats diet that usually require meat can be quite easily synthesized from vegan sources. That’s good to know. (Minor caveat of the study would be considering cats that go outdoors as being on a vegan diet when they almost certainly eat wild animals, but it doesn’t seem results were inconsistent between cats that go outside vs. cats that don’t, or maybe the full study even mentions it).
Also fwiw I wouldn’t trust the first link on its own bc what companies claim and what they actually do doesn’t always line up, but when there’s multiple studies backing it it has much more credibility.
