Dairy contains a morphine-like substance so baby calves are drawn to it. Cheese is literally addictive.
While many scientists believe cats to be obligate carnivores, one study attempted to show that many of the studies conducted in plant-based diets to not show any detrimental effects, when the test wasn't conducted poorly or there was already a selection bias in place.

Just something to consider. This doesn't cement veganism for domestic felines, but it does show that better studies need to be conducted.
I'm aware, but I don't eat cheese out of choice. The times I do eat cheese are because I'm in a restaurant with family/friends and my options are being hungry the whole night, eating meat, or eating a salad with cheese in it. With those options, I take the cheese. Again, I don't eat cheese at home.
Fair enough. I'll keep an eye out, but I'm immediately skeptical because unlike us humans, cats are naturally carnivorous.
