Cats are true carnivores. While you may choose a vegetarian lifestyle, don't assume it's healthier for your cat also. Cats aren't able to convert beta-carotene into vitamin A the way we can.

To be sure you are getting a sufficient supply you would need to eat about 12 ounces of fatty fish per week.
