[Harmless Teddy Bear]

As I read it, the cat in my lap stretched out her paw and tenderly patted my cheek. “She would taste good,” I thought, was not a morally serious answer to the question, “Should I eat her?”

Why not? She would eat you.

BTW animals are not attatched to their "mommies". Give them a milk and heat source and they are fine.

Actually that’s not true. Many pets will stick with their owners, and many pine when their “proper” owner is not present. Regardless of how much they like their guardians who likewise care for them well.

As far as the quote, my reaction was, “No, because she’s a carnivore; carnivores aren’t meant to be eaten.”
