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.
Do also note that dogs have been known to do the same. Cats have a lower threshold for that and are more likely to do it in general, but they do tend to wait until they're literally starving before eating a friend.
Another fun fact about cats is that they are more likely to go feral because they have not been domesticated as long as dogs. Dogs and cats basically domesticated themselves to get food, but cats only began domestication 12k years ago which is not long considering the history of humans.

There have been cases where cats have started to eat their deceased owners and several places around the world where cats are eaten.
People are up in arms about people eating cats... Which seems kinda ironic.
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

Ah yes, my cat is so confused she brings me her recommendations to my step door.
Cats and dogs both eat meat
Wild animals hunt and herbivores occasionally eat meat
So no animals wouldn't think this as they eat meat the same as us and wouldn't care at all about eating meat
So I don't get what this is trying to say at all
Edit: also forgot to add that some animals are cannibals for example chickens

I don't think it's arbitrary. I think people eat the ones that are tasty...
as a cat owner, I can promise you that cats wouldn't be the confused ones

Doesn't seem too arbitrary at all.
Rabbit should be right of horse. Goat and sheep the most right; there is no culture nor religion that bans their consumption. They are that important to human survival.

And some cultures eat dog, and others worship cows.
Why is your culture correct?

If needed I would eat every single one of them and not feel at all bad about it... Also why is the rabbit there? Rabbit stew is good.

Two to the left. I grew up very much enjoying cacciatore. Hunting rabbit and hare is a good time, too.
Haha. The answer to the billboard's question is "Yes. Right there. That's right. Glad we resolved that."

For the record, I'd be down to eat both cats and dogs if given the opportunity, I just wouldn't eat my own pets.
