Tell that to my cat! He loves black olives, field mushrooms, broccoli, potatoes and many other vegetarian things. I have a friend who has a cat who is really crazy about feferoni. I you give her some ham and some feferoni she will eat the feferoni then only eat the ham if she is hungry...

A meat-eating predator perhaps, but still not carnivorous. Not any more than human vegitarians (who I will never understand) are herbavores. A bear living off meat is still an omnivore, as is a human living off plants.

A bit off the inital thread perhaps, but seemed relevent to confirm that a vegetarian-fed cat (or person or free range chicken or whatever) is not an herbivore. They're omnivores who aren't getting any meat. You're not carniverous only while you're ingesting meat, but evolutionarily (like, we're all bipeds, even those of who ride bikes or use wheelchairs). Perhaps a few million years of meatless diet...
