Ari Moore Anyone want to help run this site?

Our kitties are, unfortunately, still on a meat diet. We wanted to get them onto veggie food again but Snow and Zora's gingivitis continues to be a major issue, and while we work through that we don't want to be bugging them with diet changes. While we're working on this, it's occurred to me that we should have some other admins on this site! I'd love to have someone with actively vegan cats at home as an admin,… Continue

Imogen Vegan cat poo blog - warning may contain gory details

I feel very deflated. I've just got home from the vets with a bag of Pro-plan "delicate" meaty food, after about 4 months of feeding my cats vegan food. :( Unfortunately all three of my cats have been having the same digestive problems for the last few months, precisely when they began it is hard to tell, because it is only lately that we have been keeping them inside at night and so get to see their poos in the litter tray. Please excuse all the gory poo descriptions (you were warned in blog… Continue

Ari Moore Meat trial: The plot thickens...

Our non-vegan food trial continues - here's an overdue update! We've decided to extend the trial to 60 days - we hit the 30-day mark and it was pretty clear that 30 days wasn't really long enough to see what effect the diet change was having. So regretfully, we're continuing to feed them animal-based foods for now. Fortunately we found a couple of brands of hormone-free, organic food that seem to have some integrity… Continue

Ari Moore Action alert: Post a comment about vegan cat nutrition

An activist I know sent me this link: Is it ok to feed my cat table scraps? The author writes, "cats are carnivores, they need meat to survive and be healthy. A cat's digestive system is different than that of humans and other omnivores. Forcing a cat to eat a diet not based on meat proteins will inevitably lead to health problems and eventually even death." Maybe some folks her… Continue

Ari Moore Non-vegan cat food for 30 days, week 2: Natural schmatural

We're two weeks into our 30-day trial now, and we've seen some changes:
  • Sid's allergy seems to have actually improved. It's been on-again-off-again for years though, so we're not sure yet if it's the food or if it's just a coincidence that she's not itchy right now.
  • Zora's little scratch by her mouth has healed up. Again, this could be a coincidence - we haven't yet checked her gums to see if her g

Ari Moore Non-vegan cat food for 30 days, week 1: Raw meat is gross

Sid, Zora and Snow have been eating meat food for a week now, as part of our 30 day trial, and they sure love the flavor - but no health changes so far. If anything Snow's gingivitis and Sid's allergy are acting up more than ever. But we'll keep on going to see what happens! Here's what we've learned from our first week:
  1. We fed the girls organic raw chicken for the first week but are switching to (organic)

Ari Moore A non-vegan cat food 30-day trial

We adopted our three cats off the streets of Brooklyn. Sisters Sid and Zora have been vegan since they joined us in November 2005, and Snow has been vegan since she arrived in February 2008. So, that's two cats who have been vegan for nearly 3 1/2 years, and one who's been vegan for just over a year. So far, the only issue we've run into with their diet has been Sid's getting crystal formations which required a change in diet… Continue

Ari Moore Vegan Cats Ning featured in major news media - post your comments at abcnews.com UPDATE

I was interviewed by ABC News reporter Ki Mae Heussner for the piece Can My Pet Be a Vegan Like Me? Pet Owners and Veterinarians Divided Over Vegan Diets for Pets. The coverage is very even-handed but the comments posted after the article are so far all very negative. It might be good if some folks with vegan cats chimed in with our own perspectives -… Continue
