But how do animals without homes learn to cook their meat?
People that have been found in peat bogs are almost always heavily infested with intestinal parasites, and fecal material found at archeological sites show significant signs of parasitic infections as well, because even once we cooked food we often didn't have acceptable food safety (or, y'know, refrigeration). Truth is that cats in the wild just constantly have tons of parasites and get sick a lot, and sometimes die from it.
