Only one in four loaves matures into a catloaf.

I don’t disagree with you that cats kill lots of animals but a million over its lifetime is way too high. If you assume a 20 year lifespan, that’s 50k/yr or a bit under 140 per day, every single day. The wikipedia article cites one study that claims ~90 animals killed per year, which seems much more reasonable.
