The study they referenced had 127 cats, less than 10% studied were on a vegan diet. That's not a very good sample size. Considering cats are obligate carnivores, going to take this with many grains of salt.
It IS possible for a cat to have a vegan diet as long as the essential nutrients are supplemented and you work with a vet. One big thing is taurine, but the way meat is processed in cat food removes the taurine so it is added back with synthetic taurine anyway.
You can read more about this in this thread:

Also what is an obligate carnivore, does it mean they have to eat meat?

Studies on cats eating a vegan diet? Science says we need more studies because it is not as black and white as all the people kneejerking about it are saying.

I learned a lot by listening to the original commenters I linked above. Hope this helps.
So, you can make vegan cat food, but it would be heavily processed, which to me seems antithetical to the vegan movement.
