Some of us love cats just because they make great companions, I'm surprised some would find that so hard to believe. I certainly don't like them just for sport or entertainment.

I understand the companionship angle as I was kept by cats for many years but I meant in the context of being a vegetarian for ethical reasons and a cat owner (particularly if the cat is forced into an unnatural vegetarian diet to match the humans of the house).

Cats kill so much that encouraging a culture where they almost out number the human population, kill far more animals than you would by making the choice to eat meat and then forcing the creature into a unnecessary diet sounds like the worst of all ethical worlds.
