Trying to make your cat vegan is animal abuse.

No it isn't, unless it's done improperly. What objectively is animal abuse is feeding the ground up body parts of animals to anyone, including other animals.

Commercially produced vegan cat food can be nutritionally complete, but they are full of synthetic nutrients (because cats cannot synthesize things like taurine or folic acid). It is unnatural (and imo cruel) to force them to live off a fully synthetic diet. Many salmon have had to die for my cat to live a long and happy life. I am okay with that.
