I think people who raise their cats and dogs vegan have officially thrown a rod mentally. It's an affront to nature.

However, Pippy the Cat would make a great vegetarian. Here are some things she likes to eat (list compiled by spacemanlove):

• Baked beans
  
• Squash
  
• Yogurt
  
• Yams
  
• Soy bacon
  
• Applesauce
  
• Tofu
  
• Toast
  
• Cereal with soymilk
  
• Grape stems
  
• Strawberries
  
• Bananas
  
• Canteloupe
  
• Plums
  
• Corn on the cob
  
• Tofu 'cream cheese' (but NOT dairy cream cheese)
  
• And of course, [nontoxic] houseplants and catgrass
  

There's no explaining it. We didn't try to feed her people food; she just smells what's cooking and bullies her way onto the table/into our hearts until she gets a taste. None of it is harmful to her (we check carefully) but it's all unusual. And it isn't as though she doesn't like the 'usual' cat favorites: she'll eat her dry food, and she can't be stopped when there's chicken on my plate. Pippy's just a crazy omnivore.

Dr. Hamsteak, by comparison, only likes cat food, meat, and the occasional bit of egg yolk. Of course, she has to keep up appearances... she's a doctor.
