Best Answer

Cat is actually eaten in many parts of the world that do not have pet taboos such as the western world (Europe and North America) and in some places is consider a delicacy.

With very few exceptions, and in many of those depending on preparation, any meat is perfectly safe to eat.

Answer

Cats do not generally have a lot of meat on them, but in some countries, it is commonly eaten (as is dog).

Cats living wild as a result of the breeding activities of pets belonging to negligent (i.e- statistically typical) cat owners in the UK and US are generally classified as vermin. In fact, there is pressure in some US states to allow for the legal hunting of feral cats as a measure of protection for indigenous bird species. Presumably, what you kill, you may eat... but it would be best to have the authorities to confirm whether such is legal in your area.

Catching and killing cats in most western countries would be inadvisable; beside the potential for falling foul of animals rights laws in killing the animal (where law is concerned, whether the method used was 'humane' is at the sole discretion of the courts - what is good enough for a farm animal will probably not fly with a cat-loving judge), you will also be held accountable for theft and unlawful killing if the animal is a pet, while the cat's owners may also sue you for trauma and damages.

If the animal is stray, it is highly likely to be carrying any one of several diseases and parasites that are transmittable to humans. It would be highly inadvisable to attempt to butcher or eat a cat in any city due to the lower standards of animal hygiene in such environments.

Cats livers can be toxic to humans, and are usually disposed of along with the rest of the innards, but the flesh of a cat is safely digestible.

These concerns aside, however, you can eat cats all you like. Meat is meat.

Answer

Yes, but why? Cats are considered faithful and cute companions.

Answer

Pigs are considered by some to be perfect pets, being intelligent, trainable, companionable, and even... yes, cute! However, they taste great too. Cats benefit from looking skinnier and less edible, but are nonetheless quite palatable.

Well, it really depends. If the cat is big such as a leopard or cheetah (or lion), then yes, it can. Small cats like tabbys and ones that are domestic don't really eat you.
