Well done Joyce. The teeth are the main indicators of the diet, but also the saliva, the length of the intestines, the claws, even the profile of the head - in felines - all indicate obligate carnivores. Cats are built to hunt efficiently. They are lone hunters so only have themselves to make it or break it. They have evolved on having super light bones and organs to make stealth easy. This unloading of unnecessary complicated organs means they cannot digest many plant based foods, which contain alkaloids. NO cat is happy or healthy on a vegan diet. And I am a vegan myself.
