Don't know anything about the law Spain just passed. Just chiming in to say ackktually...
The animals we eat are more domesticated than cats. Cows, sheep and chickens were all domesticated roughly 9,000 to 11,000 years ago. Cats have been in the human sphere of influence for only 4,000 years - some scientists speculate 8,000 years but that isn't commonly accepted. Cats and humans don't have the same symbiotic relationship as the truly domesticated animals.
Fun fact - dogs were domesticated between 18,000 and 30,000 (!!!) years ago.
