    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.

      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.
