Is it ethical for a vegan to own a cat as a pet since these animals require meat to live?

Yes, because cats are going to eat meat regardless. At least until there's a suitable replacement.

Yes they have to eat meat...so by owning a cat a vegan would be participating in animal suffering to feed that cat.
So is it ethical to participate in something you consider unethical?

@Pikachu I think if it doesn't make a difference either way, it's alright. The cat I own would still be eating meat if I didn't have her.
