Eatin' cats?

Dog

Had a stew in the Philippines and again in Saudi Arabia with some Flipper truck drivers, turned out to be dog. Stringy. Cat I haven't had but now I am intrigued!

Almost any animal can be eaten, if prepared carefully and cooked properly. I have had some odd dishes in and out of the service and I found a few things I though I wouldn't like to be quite good; deep fried grasshoppers in Peru, grilled tarantula in Mexico (which had a very interesting preparation method), snake soup in Hong Kong and chipmunk (no kidding!) at a buddy's place in New Hampshire.

My grandmother always said, "Fatigue softens the mattress, hunger flavors the stew!" and as usual, she was right :)
 
I know a guy who has eaten it and he says its just like lean pork. I would be willing to try it but there is something about eating a carnivore that seems like it would be odd. The animals I eat are usually grass fed.

People can say what they want about kitties but my favourite meat is Beef or Deer and I think it'll likely stay that way.
 
I have never eaten lion either though we don't have them in this state or so DNR says we don't. We have a lot of sightings but nothing official.

I see nothing wrong with trophy hunting as long as there is a healthy enough population of the animal to justify hunting them. Hunting is a sport (to me at least) and man is the ultimate predator.
 
As for them being scarce, it would depend on who you ask. Ranchers seem to think there are too darn many of them

Ranchers think that one predator is too many. The only thing they dont have too many of is sheep or cows.
 
I hear that some Chinese restaurants serve them.

I don't think anyone hunting mountain lions serves them at dinner the next day though. Shoot and mount, or just bury. No big deal.
 
Since I already have a cougar-skin rug, odds are I wouldn't bother one unless he's exceptionally well marked. I saw one once that was darned near a replica of a seal-point Siamese cat! Not as dark, but darker on the paws, mask and tail.

But I'd for sure want the hams and back strap...

I never even had the chance to try it, but if i did or got a chance to shoot one i'd def eat it. at least try it. if i didnt like it i'd cook it up and give it to some friends to feed their dogs (or cats :eek:). I hate seeing things go to waste and for such a beautiful animal even more so.
 
I have eaten both dog and kitty, and both are tasty enough. The cat was actually really good. From what I hear, the mighty puma actually is very tasty, although a bit tough, which sort of makes sense given that they are composed of a crapload of muscle and relatively little fat. Still, I have heard that the meat is tasty and slightly sweet...
 
I live in Denver Colorado off of Cherry Creek. Down in the river while hunting for likely rocks and arrowhead type stuff I've come across cougar tracks about as large as my spread hand. And that's just a couple miles south of dowtown. 'course there are enough geese and ducks, and pigeons in the parks to keep several in food. Up in the mountians photographing and hiking I've come close enough to a couple to throw sticks at them. It is interesting to come up on one, and see it flicking its tail back and forth while looking at you in that belly down crouch. Really gets the blood pumping when you're only armed with a camera and a pocket knife. They are pretty prevalent in the Rocky Mountains, and seem to be spreading slowly east. I've heard stories of one or two being seen in Kansas and middle Nebraska, and if you're seeing one or two, there's more than that around.
