Well, technically they're not wrong
It’s all true. The bird muscle, the animal flesh, the carcasses and the propensity of humans to cook it so we can tolerate eat it. This is unlike obligate carnivores like our cats which enjoy ripping the flesh off the bone with their teeth and eating the bird muscle right off the fresh carcass.
The reason we cook meat is not that we would otherwise be unable to process the nutrients, it's to save ourselves from getting worms and parasites. In contrast to humans, wild animals are often infested with them and if they knew how to make fire and cook, I'm sure your cat would do barbecues as well because it's just better to not get sick.
