The Miao Brothers are going vegan
As some of you may know, being vegan is really important to me. I respect people's choice to eat meat, and I encourage them to purchase from humane, organic farms if they are able. However, I've been struggling with the ethical dissonance of my own family eating meat, and after literally years of struggling with this issue, I've finally decided to have the Miao Brothers go vegan.
I have done research and found that there are good, nutritionally balanced products for cats who are allergic to meat and for cats whose religious and ethical beliefs prevent them from eating meat or other animal products. I will start the Miao Brothers on Vegetable Stew flavored Evolution canned cat food and Ami Cat Vegan Kibble.
In order that their new diet will not put undue financial strain on Mama and Papa Miao, who have been more skeptical than supportive of the change, I'm going to get a part time job at a local grocery store. I should have gotten a job a while ago, anyway, so it is not much of a sacrifice.
I'll keep everyone updated on the Miao Brothers' progress with their new diet. I've placed an order through vegancats.com, and the food supplies should arrive at the Miao House just in time for my Spring Break visit.

Waaaaitaminit, Little M, I see this post is dated april 1st... although I only saw it today (april 2nd).... and Lotus is snickering suspiciously? and since when were you in charge of feeding the Miao brothers?? Wasn't mama Miao quite happy with the home-made fud change recently??? you wouldn't be pullingk our legs???? would you????? with something as serious as the Miao brothers' fud??????
My theory is that Lotus can't stand veggies in his fud (or visible veggies, at least), because he almost never eats Mama Miao's homemade food, and that has little pieces of carrots and peas. He just waits till later in the day to eat his kibble. He loves the canned brekkis we give them once in a while (for variety), and I think that has some hidden veggies in it...
Girl cats can eat more of the vegan stuff without problems... because of differences in the plumbing depahtment.
I don't like the sound of that... although crystals happen with all fuds I think... except maybe fresh-caught mice and birds.
Also, the kibbles they eat have no grains in them.
