Carnivorous animal feces should not be added to a garden nor compost.
It could contain harmful pathogens. I know someone who added dog
feces to an area that grew spearmint, but they did not use the
spearmint for consumption. Rather than adding to a compost pile, you
could probably safely add it to a "digester," which can take oils,
meat, and other things not normally suited for a compost pile.
