You've probably seen news reports about the couple who fed their cat a vegetarian diet. Although I believe in individual rights, this couple
took things too far. Cats are natural carnivores, which means they only
eat meat. By changing this necessary part of the cat's diet, the couple
caused serious health problems for the animal. Yes, it's true that meat-
based commercial cat food can be expensive, but responsible pet
owners must consider the costs before adopting a cat. Personal
preferences about food should stay personal and not be inflicted on
animals.
Which of these is the author's claim?
O A. The couple fed their cat a vegetarian diet.
B. Personal preferences about food should stay personal and not be
inflicted on animals.
O C. Cats are natural carnivores.
O D. The couple caused serious health problems for the animal.
