What’s even better, the cat lover and animal advocate who’s worked with groups like the Humane Society of the United States knows how to pick a good pair of vegan shoes!

In People‘s “Stylewatch,” Inaba discusses the outfit she put together for DWTS’ 300th episode.

Carrie Ann Inaba has always had a fondness for cats.

She shares this with the Humane Society of the United States in its May/June 2013 issue of All Animals Magazine.

Her first cat was a stray she picked up while working as a dancer on In Living Color in the nineties.

Years later she’s invited two more cats into her home and has co-created and hosted a web series on finding homes for special needs cats.

Carrie Ann Inaba will put away her dancing shoes for one evening to return for her second year in a row of hosting the Humane Society of the United State’s Genesis Awards benefit gala on Saturday, March 23, 2013, at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

“I’m delighted to have been invited back by The Humane Society of the United States to host this truly unique and inspirational event. We all need to be a voice for those who cannot speak out for themselves, which is why The Genesis Awards recognize those who have the power to spread the word about the issues affecting innocent, voiceless animals,” Inaba said.

Carrie Ann Inaba needs some veg advice on proteins, quick!

The Dancing with the Stars judge should have had a heart to heart talk with former contestant Cloris Leachman.

Inaba says that although she used to be vegetarian, she found it hard to combine the right proteins, but she’s looking to go back.

“I eat organic and I cut down on meat. I tried to be a vegetarian but my body craves protein and I haven’t found the right mix yet. But I cut down to only two times a week, and it has to be organic meat.

According to a FAQ sheet from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, finding the right mix of proteins may be easier than once thought.

“It was once thought that various plant foods had to be eaten together to get their full protein value, otherwise known as protein combining or protein complementing. We now know that intentional combining is not necessary to obtain all of the essential amino acids. As long as the diet contains a variety of grains, legumes, and vegetables, protein needs are easily met.”

PCRM then goes on to list plant sources of protein with the number of proteins in each source in grams.

Black beans, seitan, tofu, tempeh and lentils top the list and the group recommends you aim for  2-3 servings of legumes every day.

Have you found your right mix of veggie proteins yet?
