This has been bugging me for years, what did carnivores like the cat and dogs eat?

Old Major and Snowball talk about all animals being equal, therefore no one is killed for food in their community.

Can we remove the blatant acts of a moral guardian from this? I'm not saying that we should be showing this to pre-schoolers, but can we at least assume that the people reading it have the good judgement to know if it's right for their children/siblings?

Removed:

  • Artistic License – Economics: In the 1999 version, Napoleon spends all the farm's income on luxuries for the pigs instead of necessities for the farm. However, the film clearly shows that this kind of behavior doesn't work in the long run, as the farm eventually falls into ruin as a direct result.
Hence, it's not an example.

Working-Class People Are Morons - is this really a trope here? Isn't that trope about when the working class in general are portrayed as stupid - not having one naiive working class character (Boxer)?

Boxer is representative of the working class as a whole.

Could the cat be an Unperson and that's why they aren't mentioned at the end? It fits with the Communist theme, after all.
