I hope this is just a gag, and not something ‘Sylvia’ is actually considering. I hadn’t seen the term ‘hypercarnivore’ before, but cats are ‘obligate carnivores’, which means pretty much the same thing.
See “Why are cats described as ‘obligate carnivores’? (http://cats.about.com/od/catfoodfaqs/f/obligatecarnivores.htm) and a bunch of other places for more info.

But cats are “hypercarnivores” (a real term) and MUST have meat in their diet! A cat who doesn’t get any taurine will lose its vision.

Again, hoping this is just a gag, and not a plan.
