My cat has but my cat is also a found hound. We call her a cat bull terrier for a reason. Most cats are not my cat because my cat has stupidly insane food drive. Most cats will not willingly eat "non-flesh" substances unless they're being starved of the "flesh" they need.
Frankly, I couldn't care less if you're a vegan yourself. Really, I don't. No matter why you're a vegan, I don't care. I am against imposing your will on a creature who requires meat, bones and organs to survive. Put your cat outside and I'm willing to bet you a million dollars that, after he gets used to it, he will hunt down and eat a bird or small furry animal of some sort. Because that's cats do. They're predators. They have always been predators. Just like tigers, lions, cheetahs, leopards, bobcats and the dozen other animals classed as Felidae. (Unless you think they're cruel for hunting down prey animals amd eating them?) Having been domesticated does not change their digestive track that radically, especially considering cats were largely left to their own devices and have only fairly recently become common household pets.
Hope you're at least checking your peanut butter for xylitol!
"Only ignorance! Only ignorance! How can you talk about only ignorance? Don't you know that it is the worst thing in the world, next to wickedness? - and which does the most mischief, heaven only knows. If people can say 'Oh! I did not know, I did not mean any harm,' they think it is all right."
