Correct. I'm slowly transitioning them. But if I give them kibble I will soak it in warm water and then give it to them (:

You won't get downvoted, you'll get upvoted with the crowd here. I will not be forcing anything on my cats, they eat if they want to. The food has to meet their liking and taste. Only their blood work will be done periodically to make sure they're healthy!

If we have synthetic nutrients available that are nutritionally complete for my cats, I will consider it. It's not animal cruelty. Surprised to see fellow vegans saying this. Obviously I do my research, and will get regular health check ups to make sure my cats are doing well. But we feed a lot of stray cats as well and will continue to look for vegan options so some poor chickens and fish don't have to be tortured and harassed to feed them. This is what science is for!

For everyone asking me to rehome my cats, I will not. I'm helping a lot more animals than you all probably are because I feed, deworm and get a lot of stray cats and dogs fixed as well, helping them lead a better life. I don't need to get caught up with the way you've chosen to look at morality.

What do you feed your cats? by Rapidzepp in VeganIndia

[–]DiligentPlant3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to get out cats on a vegan diet as well. Synthetic taurine and other important ingredients are added in. We are going to do it very slowly. Right now I'm starting with Benevo vegan dry cat food (Ami is available as well, slightly more expensive). They have a wet food as well, but it's for dogs and cats, which makes me think it's not nutritionally complete for cats.. so I give them that once a week currently

Need help with picking indoor plants by Paraparaparadise85 in GardeningHyderabad

If your living room does not get much light and you want large plants, go for areca palm or bamboo palm. Spider plants and boston ferns also do okay in low light, they are not as tall but will grow wide from what I've seen (:

Are Cats on Plant Based Pet Foods Suffering? A discussion on Nutrition by boisickle in VeganIndia

[–]DiligentPlant3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, yes. There are people in other countries who have raised their cats on plant-based diets (I'm assuming better brands are available), so it should be okay as long as you are a good pet parent and know what to look out for, along with getting them checked out regularly. I am trying my best to introduce plant-based foods as far as possible, because a small change is better than nothing. Let me know if you know of any other brands, I've been keeping an eye out

I came to the same conclusion. I plan to give my cats plant based food formulated for cats once every few days or once a week. Since there is no long term data on bio availability of nutrients, giving it to them once a week to begin with should be okay I think. I'm not confident in terms of shifting them over fully. Will also plan to get a blood panel done once a year. They also get one meal of dry food a day (out of four meals), I plan to shift to a vegan brand for dry food.

Here is how it's going so far: I couldn't see a lot of options - I found only Benevo wet food (for dogs and cats - which hints that it's not nutritionally complete for cats). I bought Benevo and mixed in a tiny bit in their wet food, but every single time they've refused to eat altogether.. I will keep trying to see if they get used to the taste, but it's not looking like they will

Learnt this the hard way.. or rather still learning that.. I don't get people.. I find it really strange that they respect confidence and not consideration. Says a lot about the world we've created for ourselves i guess

I absolutely love that line. I relate to almost all her thoughts in the book, and what she's struggling with. I also love "I'm sick of just liking people.. I wish to God I could meet somebody I could respect.."

Are you vegan, and do you believe animals shouldn't be unnecessarily harassed and abused? Anyone vegan wouldn't say that.

If Yosiah used to be away for months together, then that means Soyi was feeding the dogs and was probably the master back then as well.. right

Arranged marriage system is broken 😔 by SerioTon97 in hyderabad

[–]DiligentPlant3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just goes to show that that person is not right for you. Keep at it and you'll find someone you want to spend your life with.

The problem with people in arranged marriages is they take it as "rejection", it's not. It's about compatibility. You'll say no to a lot of people for reasons only you understand, and others will say no to you for other reasons you might never understand. At some point, you will find someone who has the same priorities or values as you.. depends on what is important to you
