Hi, every morning I have breakfast with unsweetened soy milk. My cats kill me if they can't empty my bowl, but because I add stuff like raisins which include sugar, I give them some plain soy milk instead. The vet said it's "probably fine", but I want to know for certain. Does anyone know for certain soy milk is or isn't bad for cats? Thanks!

Wow, this is exactly the answer I was hoping for, thank you.

I had vegan friends who fed their cat vegan food. I'm a vegan too, but humans are omnivores, cats are carnivores. Feeding cats vegan food is bad in my opinion, I see it as animal abuse. It comes with a lot of health risks which are similar to what I read in the articles you posted. It all makes sense.

From now on, they will get a little bit of unsweetened soy milk once in a while, not every day. (I have to find a middle ground, otherwise they will kick me out)

Thanks! I really appreciate it :)

Your opinion is fact: feeding an obligate carnivore vegan food is actual animal abuse.

Also please dont feed them (or anything or anyone else) raw food right now, kibble is safest until this bird flu shit is done with.

I only feed them kibble. Adviced by the vet, not because of bird flu but because of wet food being bad for their teeth. They had wet food while growing up, since they were castrated at 6 months the only food they get is adult dental kibble (Hills brand). I gave then Royal Canin before, but I heard (unconfirmed) they add sugar, so I switched precautionary.

until this bird flu shit is done with.

I'm scared we're only in the pre phase of a massive pandemic. Let's hope it won't go that far, but with the current world tension status and clowns rising to power, I'm scared the shit is about to hit the fan like it's 1939 with a massive pandemic combined.

It sure feels like it felt in feb 2020 right before covid really kicked up. I’m also hoping that it won’t end up another pandemic though, because if it does we are so thoroughly fucked
