Some of your more ... um, "progressive thinkers" ... may object to the word "pet." Grammatical finickiness aside, if it's un-vegan to have a pet, it's un-vegan to have friends. Call them "companion animals" instead and you'll probably not find many vegans who object.

Vegans may face a bit of a moral quandary about obligate carnivore pets, who need compounds that are pretty much only to be found in animal sources in order to live.

Modern science can alleviate this somewhat with supplements, but for cats in particular, your choices are pretty much "non-vegan", "non-natural", or "dead cat" (any food claiming to be vegan, "all natural", and healthy for cats is lying ... or at least stretching the truth considerably ... about at least one of those terms). Relaxing the "all natural" requirement is probably the least morally objectionable if you're a vegan; if you're not, relaxing the "vegan" requirement makes by far the most sense, since cats in the wild are certainly not vegan.
