The word cat "just begs further definitions" too. If you continue to insist that it's nonsensical then I can say, objectively, that you have not come to understand moral realism.
I think it's just easier to say that you think it's wrong. That morality is something else. Moral realists would agree with you there, amusingly, as an item of descriptive accuracy. In large part, when we make moral utterances, even though they seem like fact alike statements, we often get them wrong or are making factual statements about ourselves (rather than murder) - when we even manage to make fact-alike statements (things that don't reduce to yuck! and yum!).

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
