Just out of curiosity, how did you verify that it was in fact that species? I mean, if you beat a monkey to death at your table, or buy a live civet, you see it before its served. I recently read about a firm selling what's that meat biochem assays on a chip. Useful for everyone from gourmets to kosher to customs. So who's top predator now? You're just a mobile incubator for E. coli :-) --- I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables.

There must be a problem with the ds.pro-ns.net node dropping some posts. I've seen replies by several people to at least three posts in the last week that I never got the original one, like the above. However, to answer Robert's question, cat probably wouldn't taste like chicken. Carnivore and herbivore meat tastes much different. Chickens ain't herbivores, they are omnivores, and, in fact, prefer meat, bugs, etc. to all else. We always killed snowshoe rabbits for them in the Winter, and hung the carcasses just a bit off the ground so the chickens had to hop a bit to peck at it, which kept them warm. And if you've ever seen them go after a sick chicken, you'd know they are also cannabals. In fact, if you were to hit your head or otherwise pass out in a chicken house, they'd kill you pretty quick, or at least peck out your eyes, and then go as deep as they could. Likewise with any wound you had, say if you fell and hit your head badly. I haven't eaten domestic cat, but I have eaten lion. Suprisingly, it was a light tender meat, resembling veal more than anything else. Tasted good. A lot of old trappers I've know tell me they've eaten bobcat and lynx and that they were tasty, and a lot like chicken. -- Harmon Seaver CyberShamanix http://www.cybershamanix.com

But factory chickens, which is almost all of the chicken most Americans eat, are fed mostly grain. A lot of old trappers I've know tell me they've eaten bobcat and lynx and that they were tasty, and a lot like chicken. Huh. The carnivores I've eaten had a distinctive taste, bitter or something. But I've never eaten any feline, so far as I know.
