Was watching snowpiercer last night not much of a spoiler but their protein slabs were made from insects one assumes fed on human biproducts. - I was thinking Soylent green.

Ideal for picking out the bits stuck between the teeth !

Where on Earth does NotAlThere live? Timbuktoo?

I suspect it was a more common insect as I've seen cats eating spiders* and flies before, and the cats weren't kittens.

* Tin foil hat mode *

All part of the government agenda ..

Go green
Stop using gas (make it too expensive), Go electric
Stop using petrol (create driver / supply issues), Go electric
Stop eating meat (create CO2 shortages with high gas prices), Go vegan
If you can't go vegan, eat insects

And no doubt diabetic. And no, I wouldn't inflict a macdonalds on a vicious nasty killer kitty.
