When it comes down to it, humans have very personal connections with their cats. It’s harder to kill your victim when you look them in the eyes first, and believe me, as a society, we’ve looked cats in the eyes:
Are you going to betray Luna’s trust? Ever since she was a tiny kitten, she’s always wanted to play. I was holding my breath in this picture…
She was the cutest little kitten!
Since then, Luna has done nothing… other than march her furry little nose into our hearts. Here’s Luna finishing her supper while chatting with my wife.
Luna, like most pets I’ve seen, has always loved sunbeams. We lived in the Financial District of Manhattan for 15 months, and Luna hasn’t seen a sunbeam for all that time. Now we’ve moved upstate, and have a lot of sun. Look at her!
Sooooo happy!!!!
So it’s our job to keep our little furry friends safe. Let them tuck in the coziest blankets and have their little snoozefests…
Soooooo cozy!!!!
Or, instead…
we can do this to Luna…
Luna, the Little Chomper 
Scott….. How COULD you envision that, even as a hypothetical? I need therapy after that visual.

Sorry about that, but Luna and I feel passionately strong about certain issues. You’re an educator, so I’m hoping you can understand and forgive our technique?

I can understand the rationale for it as in trying to get a point across using an emotionally disturbing visual, but seeing the idea executed … NO.

If it makes any difference, the Little Chomper does try to do the same to my wife and I, sometimes, when we least expect it.

Here is the real question. Would you let good meat go to waste?

Killing to fulfill needs is an unfortunate reality, for many (most?) forms of life. Maybe a society that’s not particularly attached to cats would be okay relying on them as a meat source, but very few I know would.

Maybe that’s a dog that eats gruel?

I was one of the first 1000 yahoomail customers. What kind of sick , twisted individual (other than myself) wants Eat gruel as an email? Apparently a lot.
