> My cat eats something like 300g of food per day

Multiplied for 365 days a year it's more or less 110-120kg of meat

The average European human eats less than 90kg of meat a year (which is already a lot)

So a cat eats on average 25-30% more meat than an European human

You’re forgetting about all the indirect meat we eat. Gelatin is everywhere and usually comes from porks. That’s not a steak but that kills an animal. Same for milk and eggs, you don’t get these without killing calves early so you can take all of the cow’s milk and you don’t get eggs without shredding newly hatched male chickens or killing hens after a couple of years when they stop laying eggs.

I’m pretty sure the kg of meat consumed in your statistic above is kg of meat in the plate as in a steak or a kebab only and ignores the rest.

Also, the cat food is usually between 40 and 90% meat while the rest is fillers (depending on quality and price)

Why do you assume I am forgetting something?

Do yo have some special power that lets you know what other people know or don't know?

I simply posted a well respected and openly published statistics created by international organizations devoted to food, one of them is called FAO.

Do you know it?

Second: any "non meat related meat" is also in pets food, because, surprise surprise, IT'S THE SAME FOOD REPACKAGED.

> I’m pretty sure

Yeah, I was pretty sure you were going to be pretty sure, without having actual knowledge.

There's a thing called methodology in statics, you should check it out.

The stats I posted used this methodology

> The figures tabulated below do not represent per capita amounts of meat eaten by humans. Instead, they represent FAO figures for carcass mass availability (with "carcass mass" for poultry estimated as ready-to-cook mass),[2] divided by population. The amount eaten by humans differs from carcass mass availability because the latter does not account for losses, which include bones, losses in retail and food service or home preparation (including trim and cooking), spoilage and "downstream" waste, and amounts consumed by pets (compare dressed weight)

So, in short, human meat consumption in this stats is always overstated (for good reasons, we produce it anyway, it's not coming from outer space).

> For example, the FAO (2002) figure for Denmark, which has one of the highest meat export rates compared to its population, was 145.9 kg (322 lb) (highest in the world). More recent FAO figures (2009) have taken the earlier discrepancy into account, resulting in a significantly lower 95.2 kg (210 lb) for Denmark (13th in the world). When further adjusted for loss, calculations by DTU Fødevareinstituttet suggest the actual consumption was 48 kg (106 lb) per adult

But your cat instead eats 300 grams of meat everyday, there's no margin of error, multiplied by 365 days it amount to 109,5 kgs.

Make no mistake, your cat could be actually eating 2.28 times more meat than the average Danish person.

> the cat food is usually between 40 and 90% meat while the rest is fillers

While instead humans eat only filet and steaks, no bones, no fat, nothing else, only steaks, right?

Well, haggis would like to show you something.

Also, the centenarian Italian tradition of cooking entrails would like a word.

If you seat at a table with my mom and her four sisters, they constantly fight to eat the neck and feet of the chicken.

While my sister prefers the liver and the giblets.

I, on the other hand, love the "fagioli con le cotiche" (beans and pork rind) cooked in the pignata and served with a tomato sauce cooked together with an ham bone. What's not to love?
