But cat based heating has a lower efficiency, they do not turn all energy into heat.

That's why I wrote it's 3.3x more expensive, not 3x
10% of the energy is wasted on things like bodily functions, growing, running around and bringing joy to people.

You sure it's only 10%? I would have estimated about 90%

No, 90% is just for heat.
