> the categories are companion animal and livestock animal. again, you simply don't understand what a category error is: a category error is when your reasoning directly or indirectly attributes to a thing, properties that it inherently cannot have. never mind that your categories are subjective, as i've already pointed out. there is no category error either way. something being in the category of "pets" for a westerner doesn't remove it from the category of "edible meat" and something being in the category of "cattle" doesn't remove it from the category of "sentient", the category of "capable of suffering", the category of "deserving moral consideration". etc.
