hi! hello! question! vegetarianism/veganism & pet ownership: how do they mesh?

eta: and, okay! before anyone actually tells me that pets aren't for eating, let me clarify that i'm mostly wondering about the issue of feeding your carnivorous-type pet animal. if it is an issue?

what if the vegan takes a couple of street cats, maybe that equals the meat-eating bits? i didn't stop eating meat for ethical reasons, so i should just shut up anyway. except to say how muh i love my rescue cats AND YOU OF COURSE AGREE AS THEY ARE THE BEST!CATS EVAH.

as for the other thing, YES INDEED - people on a diet of some kind are generally aware of nutrition! i don't think anyone who eats at mcdonald's has the right to tell ME what to feed my kid with. FOR REALS.

THEY ARE THE BEST!CATS EVAH.

THEY ARE THE WINNING CATS! yes. um. - i would guess, vaguely, that the specific reasons for one's veganism/vegetarianism (within the mighty wide spectrum of "ethical", that is) have to make some difference here - also wrt: the rescue cat matter. and, really - i do know folks who are very much animal-rights type vegans & have cats & are obviously not the sort of people who wouldn't think something like this through, so it must work out in some smart way - i'm just curious.

Speaking of kids, aren't you supposed to be having babies or something? When do I get a step-child?

I will keep my LEGS crossed (for once).

Also, if you have a baby, I am totally coming to check it out. I want to see Sweden in the summer.
