It slowly got quiet.

Edit:
Okay, so I think I’ve made a mistake with the point of this joke.
As such, I’ve changed the quote on the last panel.
The point I was trying to get at, was that cats swallow and digest their food without chewing. Previously, I believe I gave people the impression that cats swallow their prey whole while it’s alive.
Yep, that’s not true and was a miscommunication on my part.
I’ll be sure to make my point clearer the next time.
When it comes to prey, they don’t swallow the damn thing whole, but they do bite chunks of meat big enough to swallow.
They kill their prey too, of course.
Hope this clears things up!
