The horrific case at a North Melbourne animal hospital has prompted a warning about the dangers of people "forcing ideologies" on their pets.
Lort Smith Animal Hospital veterinarian Leanne Pinfold said the kitten was brought in this month by its owners, who were believed to be vegan.
She said the kitten's diet of potatoes, rice milk and pasta had caused it to become critically ill.
"It was extremely weak and collapsed when it came in. It was almost non-responsive," Dr Pinfold said.
The kitten was given fluids via a drip, placed on a heat pad and fed meat.
It remained in hospital for three days after which the kitten's owners were given meat to feed their pet at home, she said.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Cats aren't natural meat eaters, they are, by nature, meat KILLERS.

TRUMANN, Ark. (CBS Atlanta) – A paralyzed Arkansas man awoke to find blood on the muzzle of his dog and a “burning pain” in his mid-section, and according to the police report: “the dog had eaten one of his testicles.”
The 39-year-old Trumann, Ark. man, who is paralyzed from the waist down from a trampoline accident* had recently adopted the “small, white, fluffy” stray dog in hopes of having a loving companion, reports KAIT8.com. The man said the newly-adopted animal named Toaster Jr. bit off one of his testicles while he was sleeping nekkid around 7:45 a.m. on Monday.
The man, who has not been identified, was taken to St. Bernard’s (No Pun Intended) Regional Hospital for treatment to his injuries.
The dog, however, was euthanized and had the remains tested for rabies by a local veterinarian.
There is no word as to whether the dog tested positive for the disease. The man’s condition is not not known.

A zoo in China is facing an uproar of criticism this week, after it was revealed that its African lion is in fact a dog. The zoo, located in the People's Park of Luohe in the province of Henan, reportedly tried to disguise a Tibetan mastiff as a big cat, putting it on display in a cage marked "African lion", according to AFP. The Tibetan mastiff is a large, long-haired dog with a slightly lion-like mane, but the zoo's charade was exposed after visitors heard the animal bark.
According to the People's Daily, the zoo also tried to replace other exotic animals with even less congruous substitutes. The snake cage, for instance, contained two large rats and exactly zero snakes.
A park administrator told Chinese media that the zoo actually does have a lion, but it had been temporarily moved to a separate breeding facility. The official also said that the dog was housed there for unspecified safety reasons, and vowed that the incorrect exhibit signs would be replaced.
But visitors who paid the zoo's $2.45 admission fee feel they've been duped. "The zoo is absolutely cheating us," one woman told the Beijing Youth Daily. "They are trying to disguise the dogs as lions."

Over the course of the past week, residents surrounding the Upper Mississippi River Valley are being afflicted by massive swarms of mayflies of Old Testament proportions. The mayflies hatched all at once, in such a vast cloud, it was captured on radar by the National Weather Service at around 8:45 pm on July 20th.
These are not baby mayflies, but full blown, one-inch long adults. The 'hatch' refers to the nymphal mayflies hatching out of their final molt, or cocoon, and emerging as adults. Think of it as graduation day, and these barely legal young guns are out for summer. Often, an entire population will hatch at once, blacking out the skies in a massive swarm cloud for a few days of the year. And because they are attracted to light, you can bet to find the swarms in just about every part of local civilization.
Mayflies may congregate onto roads and lit surfaces in large piles, even up to 2 feet high. Reportedly, roads in the nearby area are coated in crushed bug slime, and even one three-vehicle accident in Wisconsin has been attributed to the insect epidemic.

An Indian woman armed only with a bucket is stable in a hospital after killing a leopard that attacked her.
Kamla Devi Mukbaihn Ayadahellwitdisah, 56, sustained multiple bites, cuts and fractures during the half-hour tussle.
She had been fetching water in northern Uttarakhand state when the leopard, smelling curry, pounced on her from nearby bushes - she fought back with a sickle and spade, dropping the bucket, and any aspirations that she would quench her thirst.
Ms Devi was carrying water from a canal to her field near the village of Sem Nauti in Rudraprayahielbangya district when she was attacked on Sunday.
She said she managed to smash some of the animal's teeth during the struggle.
"I fought head on with it for almost half an hour. Then It came to know Vishnu, and my palate was inevitably satiated." she told reporters from hospital in the nearby town of Srinagar Garhwal Abidi.
Doctors were surprised she had survived.

HOPE, Maine — While jogging on a familiar, overgrown, wooded trail near her home on a recent warm afternoon, Rachel Borch thought to herself. “What a beautiful day.”
Little did she know she was about to be attacked by a rabid raccoon that she would end up killing with her bare hands.
In the midst of appreciating the weather and scenery, she looked ahead of her and noticed a raccoon obstructing the narrow foot path, baring its tiny teeth.
Figuring that she would have the greatest ability to defend herself if she used her hands to hold it down, she decided that would probably be the best place for the aggressive animal to latch onto.
The raccoon sank its teeth into Borch’s thumb and “wouldn’t let go.” Its paws were scratching her arms and legs wildly as Borch screamed and cried.
In a matter of seconds, Borch, who could not unhinge the raccoon’s jaw to shake it off her hand, noticed that when she had dropped her phone, it had fallen into a puddle in the path and was fully submerged.
“I didn’t think I could strangle [the raccoon] with my bare hands,” she remembers thinking, but holding it under the water might do the trick.
Connecting the dots quickly, Borch, then on her knees, dragged the still biting raccoon, which was now scratching frantically at her hand and arms, into the puddle.
“With my thumb in its mouth, I just pushed its head down into the muck,” Borch said.
With the animal belly-up, she held its head under water. “It was still struggling and clawing at my arms, [and] it wouldn’t let go of my thumb,” she said.
Borch said she held it there for what felt like an eternity until finally it stopped struggling, and “its arms sort of of fell to the side, its chest still heaving really slowly.”
Hyperventilating and in hysterics, she pulled her thumb out of the raccoon’s mouth, “and then I just bolted as fast as I could through the underbrush,” she said.
Borch remembers looking back once to see if the raccoon had started chasing her again.
“It felt like [Stephen King’s] ‘Pet Sematary,’” she said.
Kicking her shoes off because they were soaked, Borch ran the three-quarters of a mile home to her house.
Borch, who was screaming and unsure of how rabies affects humans, remembers thinking, “Oh, God, what if I just start foaming at the mouth and can’t find my way back?”
She met her mother, Elizabeth, at home, and together they drove immediately to Pen Bay Medical Center.
The dead raccoon was retrieved by Borch’s dad, who packed it into a Taste of the Wild dog food bag and handed it over to the Maine Warden Service.
Hope Animal Control Officer Heidi Blood confirmed Wednesday that the dead raccoon later tested positive for rabies by the Maine Center for Disease Control.
“Not to scare people,” Blood said, but “when there’s one [infected], there’s typically another.”
It’s important to “let folks know that just because there’s one [infected] and it’s gone now, doesn’t mean the risk still isn’t there,” she said.
Infected animals typically start showing signs within two weeks, Blood said. While humans can start exhibiting symptoms within a few weeks, she said, often it takes a few months.
“It’s scary stuff,” Blood said. “The number one thing we try to remind people of is that it’s 100 percent fatal [if it goes untreated].”
Borch has received six shots so far, including the rabies vaccine, and immunoglobulin and tetanus injections. She is slated to receive her last injection this weekend.
“If there hadn’t been water on the ground, I don’t know what I would have done,” Borch said of drowning the animal. “It really was just dumb luck. I’ve never killed an animal with my bare hands. I’m a vegetarian. It was self-defense.”
