Would you eat a cat?

There is no such thing as people consume cat because they are "poor". It doesn't make sense. Cat is anything but 'cheap'. It cost a lot more to feed cats than feeding some chickens. Even for the poor families who have cats, it's better off for them to sell one cat and buy dozens chickens with that money.

It is just that very few individuals who have the weird desire to try "everything" for food. The ones who eat cats are not poor, they have plenty to eat and they are just "trying" out new food.
