The cat can exist independent of the human mind but the ownership (relationship) is not independent of the human mind.
Fair enough. No problem with that... "That cat exists" is a claim that can be validated or invalidated at the physical and empirical information layers and only needs consensus regarding the semantic layer (regarding the meaning of 'cat' and 'existence').
What would be a similarly useful example of a 'moral fact'?
