You're underestimating the difficulty of cat, my friend.
Moral realism has all of the same problems as any other realist idea, including cat realism. That can mean that, at some point, if you want to know what a cat is as a direct experience without narration and synonyms and communicative explication, I just have to take you to a cat. GE Moore said something similar in his explanation of non natural realism. That, ultimately, if you want to know what evil is, and know it in that way, I'd have to take you to see a group of adults stomping an infant and say "there - that, do you see?"
