      House cats: overwhelming over weight so mostly fat. And not the type that pigs and cows are. Feral cats: riddled with diseases and malnourished.

      Cows: mostly muscle and with a marbling of fat.

          Motherfucker, im not gonna eat gruel everyday, I’d rather eat a hamburger or a salad. Yeah, we choose what we eat for three reason. How safe it is to consume, how nutritional it is, and most importantly, how fucking tasty it is.

          Beef is fucking tasty. If it wasn’t, people wouldn’t eat it.

          Frankly, if you’re looking at the morality of eating meat, this is as good a stance as any.

      Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we’d see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we’d probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.

          I wish mutton and goat were more available near me. Lamb can be had but I want bigger cuts for stew or curry.

      Well, I can’t fit a cow in my house, and it’s not generally cute and cuddly, so it must die instead. But seriously though, are cats even delicious?
