    Not to mention that cat meat is presumably rather lean.

    Unless your cat is a tubba tuba like one of mine.

    she really, really is... she's a rescue - but a rescue of mysteriously ample proportions!

    Ahhh!!

    Yes, that makes much more sense. Well, the statement does. Not so much the behavior it refers to. Who would loathe a vegan on the basis of their dietary preferences??

    How peculiar.

    I have to think that cat must taste just dreadful, too, given how seldom it appears in traditional world cuisines. sick

    I have actually read/heard so many stories of cat meat being passed as rabbit in times of war in my home country (France) that I suspect cat tastes pretty much like rabbit.

    When butchered (and the head and paws cut off) they are supposedly fairly hard to tell apart.

    I dunno-- predators taste way different than omnivores or herbivores do. I can believe horse-rabbit because of the similarities. Goat-dog-pig, also could be somewhat interchangeable, I'd think. I think that frog and pheasant taste similar.

    Cat-rabbit? Hmm. Seems like trying to pass off bear as cow, and I've sampled both of them... and there's no way that bear tastes like cow. I believe that the hindquarters might be similar enough-- but rabbits are pretty skimpy in the torso and cats are not. (And no, I'm not someone with a lot of cat butchering experience, for the record... just a fair amount of veterinary surgical experience.)

    I suppose if you're hungry enough, pretty much anything that won't kill you outright starts to look appealing, however, and you probably don't ask a lot of questions. I have heard similar stories about cats from Japanese and Japanese-American family.

    I've generally found that negativity toward veg*ns comes a lot from people think that the veg*ans are judging them so they are being preemptively nasty.
