Again, I invite you to show evidence that there's any nutrient required by cats that can't be acquired without meat or other animal products.
However, just to make it clear that I'm not dodging the point with my previous post I will proactively address the nutrients mentioned in the source you linked:
For example, cats require vitamin A in its pre-formed state, they can't make it from beta-carotene the way humans or dogs or rabbits can.
Ami Cat plant based cat food contains pre-formed vitamin A.
They have little ability to form niacin from tryptophan.
Vegan niacin is readily available: https://smile.amazon.com/Doctors-Best-Time-release-niaxtend-Non-GMO/dp/B0041SFOY4/
The food I mentioned previously also contains such B vitamins.
They have a high requirement for taurine, which is found almost exclusively in animal flesh.
Humans have been able to synthesize taurine for many years. The food I mentioned previously contains adequate taurine.
Arginine, also found in animal flesh, is so critical to the cat that a meal without it can lead to death.

Evolution plant based kibble has added arganine. It meets AAFCO standards which include arganine as a required nutrient.
Ami Cat (the food I mentioned previously) doesn't explicitly state added arginine in its ingredients, however it uses pea protein powder that is high in arginine. Per 100g, pea protein has more arginine than human muscle tissue. Ref: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00726-018-2640-5
Fortunately, all meat sources have plenty. Simply put, cats must eat meat to live.
Simply put, but factually wrong. Humans are capable of making any nutrient cats require without meat or other animal ingredients.
It is fair to say that there are some risks involved in feeding cats a plant based diet and it may even be correct to say that it's not optimal. However, it's just not correct to say that cats simply require meat - period, full stop. That's effectively the same thing as saying meat is magical, which isn't a position a rational person would take.
