> someone asks about keeping cats on a vegetarian diet.

Noooooooooooo.  Periodically this question comes up on net.veg.
Cats can't metabolize (or whatever the correct term is) all the
nutrients they need from a vegetarian diet.  Keep them on a
vegetarian diet long enough and they will first go blind and
then die.
