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.
