"cat's meat" isn't meat from a cat, it's small chunks of meat on a stick advertised as a portion FOR a cat. Sort of equivalent to a snack today.

Yes and no. A vendor advertises cat meat (in the form of pieces of meat on skewers, not visually identifiable as coming from cats). We don't see any of the cats whose meat is sold.

A lance hits a character's helmet in the face, which dents inwards and is implied to be stuck on the character's head. The character is, however, uninjured, and the head itself is not squished or misshapen.
