With cat? I’d say a nice merlot would be appropriate. Or maybe a Japanese plum wine (this stuff is excellent with steak…) Of course, it all depends on how you wind up cooking the little furball. Have you considered catkabobs? ---

Personally, I’d skin the cat and put it in the crock pot all day with a can of chicken broth, some garlic, potatoes, and carrots. MMMMMm! When’s dinner? Zette ---

Is it the same cat mentioned in the [My cat just farted. And I heard it!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=38749) thread? And was that why she was irritating you? If so, make sure to rinse well before cooking. Or a heavy-duty marinade. ---

Personally, I’d go with the “Roast, Suckling Cat” technique…invite some friends over and have a kitty luau. Don’t forget the apple in the mouth! ---

**Peta Tzunami** - _“Guess I just don’t find this funny. Too close to reality.”_ Suddenly your name makes sense. One giant wave of overreaction and obfuscation. The problem with you zealots is you don’t have a sense of humor. ‘Z’ is doing just fine. Wanna see? “C’mere ‘Z’, talk to the peta fanatic”- “hjk”. Honest engine, that was her paw doing the typing. I think she was trying to say hi. Just be happy I didn’t use her head to type that in. It’s a joke people. Only a joke. ---

Wow, two sentences amounts to “one giant wave of overreaction and obfuscation”? Thank heaven she didn’t type three or four sentences, or your poor brain may have simply collapsed under the effort of absorbing it. :rolleyes: Grow up, dork. ---

pldennison, I think it was completely obvious that there was no true intent to cook CnoteChris’s cat in the OP. It was apparent from the outset that it was a joke. I must say it was funny as hell, too. How about lightening up, huh? Everybody knows that this topic is one of your and Peta’s hot buttons, but there was no attempt to set you off, IMHO. Chris’s response to Peta was dead on. No need for party pooping. Remember what Carlin said. “You can laugh at anything!” ---

No need for party pooping.\*\* Maybe it wouldn’t be such a big deal if **every goddamned time a vegetarian starts a thread** , it isn’t intruded upon by people with comments about how PETA stands for “People Eating Tasty Animals,” or “Oooh, I’m eating a thick juicy steak right now,” and so on and so on. Every time, without fail. So Peta takes **two sentences** to inject a little reality into the thread, and BAM! Watch the shitstorm. Poor Chris–someone rained on his poor little thread. Apparently there are different rules for these threads dependent on whether or not the OP and subsequent posters are vegetarians. I await with eagerness the ROFLs and witty comments in my upcoming thread, “If I fuck my three-year-old niece, will she have an orgasm?” Hey, as long as it’s just a joke, right? ---

Oh, yeah, and since Crunchy Frog’s Pit thread from last month apparently had no effect on people, the next person who says “Lighten up” in regards to a topic I find offensive is going to get virtually punched in the virtual head. Don’t you think it’s a little insulting to say, basically, “You know that topic you don’t find funny? I **order** you to find it funny.”? ---

Every time, without fail. Absolutely no argument here. Invading a thread with the intent of mocking the OP, especially if it is a serious and heartfelt issue, is troll-worthy. It is the practice of posting a statement that runs counter to the spirit of the OP with the sole intent of eliciting an irate response. If that’s not unacceptable and trollish behavior, it’ll do for me until the real thing comes along. Which is exactly why I’m a little surprised at y’all. I sort of expected you guys to take the intellectual high ground. Why repeat the offenses of those who have showed their asses in your threads? There has hardly been a shitstorm in this thread. The OP’er responded to what looked to me like a killjoy of a post, and you responded to him. In toto, we have a total of 5 posts (including this one) that don’t have something directly to do with cat flambe. One more thing: > [@](#): > > Oh, yeah, and since Crunchy Frog’s Pit thread from last month apparently had no effect on people, the next person who says “Lighten up” in regards to a topic I find offensive is going to get virtually punched in the virtual head. Don’t you think it’s a little insulting to say, basically, “You know that topic you don’t find funny? I order you to find it funny.”? I don’t think it’s any more insulting to say that than to say, “Don’t tell me not to find something offesive. If you do, I’ll virtually punch you in the virtual head.” If I think someone is picking on you in a legitimate thread, I’ll be the first to jump to your defense, regardless of the content of the thread. However, I think it’s a bit closed-minded to not expect someone to speak out if they honestly believe you are out of line, which I did. ---

“dibs on her back leg”?! Enough already. As if it isn’t enough to make light of this horrifying topic, we now find out that Z is differently-abled! I’m alerting PETAT (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animal Tripods.) ---

I know you meant this to upset cat lovers, but they have a sense of humor too. At cat shows, someone is always asking this identical question (usually one dragged-along spouse to another), so that each cat owner has their own repost. Mine is always the simple “tastes like chicken”, but some people get quite elaborate, and tell the poor spouse a shaggy cat story or a “treasured recipe”. All in good fun.
