Apparently they can be, if you feed them food that has the chemicals added that

they need. Cats go blind and then die from heart problems caused by lack

of taurine in their diets. Synthesized taurine is available now. As far

as I know

there is no natural vegetarian diet you can feed your cat and keep it healthy,

because of the need for taurine.
