Even granting that cats can be sustained on a diet of substances derived entirely by plants, cats can't actually be vegan. Veganism is a philosophy of what it means to be a person and how humans should live, which cats don't really have the brain structure to do. Even if you ignore that fact, cats are (I'm saying this as someone who loves cats) psychopathic little murderers; no matter how well-fed a cat is, it will still instinctively kill prey animals. Cats on the hunt will sometimes kill something to eat, see a new bit of prey, abandon their old kill, and hunt the new thing. Cats cannot be vegan.

I don't think the concern is cats killing other animals, I think it's purchasing animal based products for the cat

You're right that cats are vessels filled with the urge to murder, so they are likely to kill a bug inside the house.

Cats cannot be vegan since veganism is a moral philosophy and not a diet, but it has been well established that cats can thrive on a plant based diet supplemented with synthetic taurine, like the taurine found in popular Monster products.
