Ya know…when it comes to eating our fellow mammals, humans eat a lot of herbavors, some omnivores (pigs, dogs…other humans occasionally) but though they otherwise seem to be willing to eat anything, seem never have to made a practice of
eating carnavors. Even ones, like kitties, that they can catch.
Maybe they’re just not very tasty.
In which case it would be bad manners to serve a kitty to you’re guests.
A lot of people have rabbits as pets. And some people have ducks, or even pigs.
Cows too are dependent upon us
Yes. And we don’t need cow meat to survive, either, we have plenty of other options at the supermarket.
Why would it change a thing whether is it prepared for us or not? Isn’t the animal killed for our comsumption in both cases? Would eating cats be acceptable if they were killed and prepared by your neighbor, or if they were sold at the supermarket? Would it be unacceptable to eat a chicken if you had to kill and prepare it yourself?
Koreans aren’t starving in the middle of nowhere, still some of them like dog’s meat. Why would you have to starve for eating a dog to be morally acceptable, while eating a pig is fine in all situations?
Yeah, but you can fit a few on a skewer. Kitten-kebabs! 
Why would you bother? You’ll just find yourself coughing up hairballs.
Well, Bryan, there are more than 101 ways to skin a cat, you know.
I accidently ran over a cat and it became wedged between the muffler of my car and the floor board. When I arrived at my destination, I could smell cooked meat and was able to extract the now dead pussy. The smell of cooked cat is not pleasant, it would require some serious marinating or seasoning. I have eaten some strange meats but I will not eat cat.
If you want to kill wild cats and eat them, I don’t see why not. Killing someone’s pet would be very bad manners.
In Susan Kay’s book ** Phantom **, she mentions people eating “boiled cat with pistachio nuts.”
Not any worlds with kittens on 'em 
I didn’t know that’s where pistachios came from.
“Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop
Does her business, but I’ve noticed something weird
Lately all her neighbors cats have disappeared
Have to hand it to her
What I calls enterprise
Popping pussies into pies
Wouldn’t do in my shop
Just the thought of it’s enough to make you sick
And I’m telling you them pussycats is quick”
–Mrs Lovett, “Worst Pies in London,” Sweeny Todd
Wow, I was able to do that from memory. It helps that my stepmother introduced me to that musical when I was in 3rd grade.
