  That’s why I wrote it’s 3.3x more expensive, not 3x
  10% of the energy is wasted on things like bodily functions, growing, running around and bringing joy to people.

    But all that running around and buzzing and living becomes low grade heat pretty rapidly

    While most of the heat from the cat food furnace will go up the chimney rather than into the room.

    I would expect the cat to be closer to 100% efficient than the furnace, unless it spends its time sitting on a window sill behind the curtain radiating towards infinity

    You sure it’s only 10%? I would have estimated about 90%

      No, 90% is just for heat.
