Thanks for writing this – do you happen to know anything about the timeline for cultivated meat pet food? I know that there are a few places working on it (e.g. Biocraft, Bond) but I haven’t heard any estimates of when their product will be available.
Biocraft are now focusing on selling their products to other pet food producers rather than creating commercially available products for consumers themselves.

Thanks!
I’m afraid I don’t know, but this could be a good follow-up post. (I project it to be a 20-40 hour task, so I’d probably look for funding first).
I remember reading a Times article about cultivated meat that mentioned that someone’s pet cat took well to it, which they took as a positive sign, but I can’t find the quote now. Here’s a 2021 article about the state of the field from Smithsonian: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/we-wont-be-only-ones-eating-lab-grown-meat-our-pets-will-too-180977559/
Also, in my humble opinion, ostrovegan is a fine default in the meantime
