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

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.

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

To paraphrase the Coen Brothers:

It is a fool that looks for logic in the comics of the preachy vegans

It lines up exactly with other vegan talking points like that “Where do you draw the line” billboard so pretty good chance that’s what they’re going for.

Read an account of a guy lost at sea, after a while fish eyes and liver were delicacies where mere weeks before he was repulsed by the idea… When the brain decides “ok I’m taking over to keep us alive” you will not only eat things that you normally wouldn’t - you’ll enjoy doing it too.
