Why would a cat of all animals be confused about which ones to eat? They are obligate carnivores.
Yeah, they totally get it. We’d eat them if we were hungry enough, same as they’d eat us. This doesn’t conflict with our feelings of love and companionship. We’re all animals here
We’d eat them if we were hungry enough
They’d eat us if we were small enough.
And the house cat has such a strong prey drive they’d likely do it for fun. I suspect when Mr. Rorschach bites on my hand he’s testing the flavor.
There has been cases in the past of cats eating their owners after the owner died and nobody fed them. They do what they need to survive and I would not begrudge any animal for that. Sure it may be horrendous to see, but I’m dead so what do I care.
I sure would eat my cat if I am hungry enough, but I am never hungry enough so I don’t eat my cat nor any other animal. There are plenty of other things to eat that don’t involve killing animals.
To paraphrase the Coen Brothers:
It is a fool that looks for logic in the comics of the preachy vegans
They literally kill for no other reason than amusement.
Cats are prey to some larger animals, and considering that many humans have portable machines that can instantly kill almost any living mammal, their concern about our diet is probably valid
Cats are pretty famous for “not giving a fuck”, just in general. Also, beyond being obligate carnivores, cats will hunt and kill out of instinct… Not even hunger or necessity.
Like, a pet mouse or something? Gerbil? Actually a guinea pig would be a great choice for the comic since they ARE food in some cultures.
