While I'm unable to address the issue of vegi-cats, I can say that our pet 
rat is a vegetarian, and seems to be doing quite well.  I don't really know 
if a rat is a carnivore, but I'd assume they are since (ugh) sewer and wharf
rats seem to eat *anything*.  But our rat (Tom) seems quite happy to eat what
ever nuts, grains, table scraps, candies, or cheeses that we offer him.  I 
might also add that while my family was on vacation, our rat-sitter managed 
to really fatten the little bugger up on what ever he found in the kitchen
cabinets.
