Taurine (as well as several other necessary nutrients usually found in meat) are added to any complete vegetarian cat food. If cats do not get taurine & the rest, they *will* suffer very bad health problems (blindness, heart failure). The taurine used in veg cat foods is synthetic. So saying cats can't be vegetarian because of taurine is kind of like saying humans can't be vegan because of B12. :] - Cheryl ..................................... http://www.pickleflick.com/bean http://www.livejournal.com/~ratties AIM: triceratops bean " I'm melting!
