2. No, not consciously, but I've dissected a few in my day
And I think many cat limb pieces can be cut to look like chicken or rabbit.

15. one reason we never ate out as kids
My mother had some experience growing up in post-depression NJ, and apparently a Chinese restaurant in her neighborhood closed up because cats were found in the refrigerator, that is, ready to eat. It took her about 40 years before she set foot in a Chinese restaurant.

If you wanted to eat a cat,
by the looks of the muscles they have, you probably wouldn't even be able to chew the gravy.

8. Yes, in Spain in 1959
Edited on Sun Oct-24-04 01:07 AM by burrowowl
a poor family invited my parents and I (I was the oldest and knew their daughter). At first we refused knowing their circumstances. But then we understood we would hurt their pride. Well, they tried to pass the entre off as a rabbit, but it wasn't a rabbit, it was a cat (bone structure and no almost white meat part). We ate a bit (you would be amazed at the things you have to eat not to insult people, like mid-western 7 layer salad with beans, sweet mayo, jello, etc. yuk). Cat being a carnivore is damn strong, prefer rabbit and hare anyday, even large rat tastes better (hey protein is protein when needed).

11. I have (seriously, truly, really) eaten lion.
They serve it at a restaurant along with other game (bear, wild boar, elk, etc.), but can only serve the lion once a year (in December, I think). From North Africa.

12. My aunt has.
She frequented this tamale cart in St. Louis way back when. She noticed one day that the tamale cart was gone. She later read in the paper that the guy had been shut down by the health department for using cat meat in his tamales. She still says to this day that they were the best tamales she had ever eaten.

14. Not me personally, but
when I was living in China as a foreign teacher this stray cat found its way into our apartment building and was roaming around in the ducts waking us up howling at 2:00 in the morning. This went on for three or four nights while we complained to the manager, who did nothing. We knew some students from North China who would regularly trap the strays on campus and eat them, so we borrowed their live trap and caught the cat on the condition that we would give them the cat. It worked, and, although I felt kind of bad about it, Fluffy was turned over to the students.

Then all the foreign teachers told the manager WE had eaten the cat. The manager, being a good Shanghainese, and thus more civilized than those "barbarian" students from North China, (in his view) was horrified. Heh heh heh heh heh. :evilgrin:
