…because most dogs just will eat bugs on their own, no outside influence necessary? I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make.

I am baffled as to why cat food is labelled up as having "The great all-natural taste of beef and lamb that your cat loves!" because if my cat could naturally eat beef then that would be fucking terrifying, a 4kg cat that can eat a 600kg cow.
They should say "The great all-natural taste of mice and wasps that your cat loves!" based on observed behaviour.
Cats love tuna. Why? Basically got a lot of the amino acids that taste good to them, just coincidence.
you eat beef and you're only 73kg and eating a 600kg cow! Baffling!
Thanks to tools, I'm a far more capable hunter than my cat. It's trivial for a human of any size to kill a slow moving cow. It's very hard to imagine any scenario where a domestic cat would be capable of hurting a cow, let alone kill and eat it.
Humans have been hunting prey many times larger than themselves for tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of years (maybe even millions).
Actually I'm well north of 100kg, and being a tool-using ape that's about 1/6th the weight of and considerably taller than the animal I want to eat it's a fairly easy task.
If I was 1/150th the weight of a cow with my eyeline roughly level with the top of the animal's foot, armed with teeth about 12mm long and sharp claws about 5mm long, I suspect it would be considerably more difficult.
