I am pretty sure the artist is referring to the owner literally going out and buying either wet food with meat chunks or some other meal with meat directly in it, as opposed to dry food with no meat bits.
Carnivore means that nutrients typical found in meat are required for a nutrient-complete diet. Carnivore doesn't mean that meat itself is needed. Vegan cat food exists and has artificial taurin added for example. The kneejerk reaction of CaTs NeEd MeAT ThO is so frustrating. Educate yourself and stop be hypocrits.

There's a lot more to a balanced cat diet than just the nutrients. Even feeding a cat cooked rather than raw meat will lead to malformities and deficiencies in the long run. Forcing a cat on a vegan diet is an experiment with their health and well-being, which will most likely cause it to suffer unnecessarily.
If you really are that militant about not serving meat, just don't have a pet that is an obligate carnivore. There are plenty of herbivore animals to have as pets.
Yes, because cooking destroys certain nutrients. Has nothing to do with the source of the nutrients.
A diet is balanced as long as it contains all the nutrients an organism needs in a bio-available form and vegan cat food that checks these marks exist.
Not wanting animals to be needlessly killed isn't militant btw. but nice buzzword.
There is not vegan cat food that works just fine, and you're a fucking asshole if you force an obligate carnivore to become a vegan because of your personal human beliefs.
Well. My cat gets regular cat food, but I do kinda deny him "the choice of food". (He's prone to get diarrhea and gets a specialty food for sensitive stomachs.)
I fail to see how choosing for your cat somehow would he wrong, since literally every cat owner does it. We don't sent them shopping and accept whatever they bring home.
Vegan cat food is not just vegetables for the uninformed. It is made to have all the necessary components that a car needs in its diet, mostly it is just missing the death of an animal part.
