Bats

Although it is said that since Alice is not able to answer either of the two questions, " do cats eat bats?" and " do bats eat cats?', it does not matter in which way she puts it, but apparently one of them sounds more absurd than the other, doesn't it? Why I think so is my question, because it does seem to me that asking a question whether cats eat bats makes you look less insane than whether bats eat cats. I guess the answer can be easily obtained - because I presuppose before these questions that there exist the hierarchy of food chain, and that the cats is certainly situated above a certain category, which I also presuppose includes bats similar to rats, as Alice says herself. So I know the one on the top will eat and the one under it will be eaten, the reversal impossible, so although I don't know precisely whether cats eat bats, I know that bats do not eat cats, ergo the question to which the answer is not only certainly negative in an obvious way but the action of asking it implies the subversion of a pre-constructed seemingly unquestionable order will surely seem ridiculous. It seems that the implicit already resolved questions have the impact on the way one perceives the questions that follow, which, I wonder, whether or not, is the explanation for some of the you-are-insane expressions that I get from the others facing my questions...
