Will my Vegan Cat eat "Friskies with beef and gravy"?

This will simply answer a very specific question: "Will my vegan cat eat 'Friskies with beef and gravy'?" This does not answer the question of whether she prefers all meat-based food over all vegetarian food, whether she likes all commercial food better than all homemade food, or whether or not one's pet Should be fed a plant-based diet. That said... my cats have been 100% vegan for the past 33 days (they were only 50% vegan before that) and have had normal bloodwork results. However, my gray cat has developed a scratching problem, we've ruled out fleas, and believe it's a food allergy. This experiment was prompted by a question I was asked by someone online: whether my cat prefers vegan food over non-vegan food. I cannot answer that. I decided that I should perform this experiment while I'm waiting for her new Hypoallergenic vegan cat food to be delivered (I ordered it online). The Friskies food will probably not stop her allergic reaction because: 1) This Friskies cat food contains soy flour. Soy is present in her typical homemade food in the form of TVP. 2) The Friskies food also contains Wheat Gluten (the third most present ingredient after water and liver - even more present than beef, chicken, turkey and fish). Wheat gluten is present in the homemade recipe I've been giving them for the past week in the form of seitan. I am simply performing this as an experiment before I receive her hypoallergenic vegan cat food in the mail. Please excuse the ugly scratched area on the back of her head. The shot the vet gave her last week to stop her itching lasted only 7 of the 15 days it was supposed to. I discovered this this morning, put an E-collar (cone) on her, went to the store to get "Soft-paws" and hopefully that will prevent further harm until I get her on the hypoallergenic food. Thanks.
