There's a lot more to a balanced cat diet than just the nutrients. Even feeding a cat cooked rather than raw meat will lead to malformities and deficiencies in the long run. Forcing a cat on a vegan diet is an experiment with their health and well-being, which will most likely cause it to suffer unnecessarily.

If you really are that militant about not serving meat, just don't have a pet that is an obligate carnivore. There are plenty of herbivore animals to have as pets.

Yes, because cooking destroys certain nutrients. Has nothing to do with the source of the nutrients.

A diet is balanced as long as it contains all the nutrients an organism needs in a bio-available form and vegan cat food that checks these marks exist.

Not wanting animals to be needlessly killed isn't militant btw. but nice buzzword.

Should go stop lions from eating gazelles ass first. You should always intervene in nature.
