What would you do if...?

[jordz0005]

Pull out my mobile phone.. "Hey PETA? you are not gonna believe this" and explain it all with my trollface on.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Since I'm not a fan of cats I'd ask for seconds.

 

[katsumoto03]

I'm a vegetarian so... Sorry.

Continue eating. How is eating cat any different than eating rabbit, deer, pigs, cows, monkeys. guinea pigs, buffalo, squirrel, elk, turkey, and whatever hot dogs are REALLY made out of (judging by the name, lions)?

Since I have eaten cat, I would not have a problem with it. Might be surprised that someone in a western country is serving cat though.

 

[Esotera]

This has happened to me with horses and rabbits before, so it's not really that big a deal. Bit of a shock the first time though.

 

[Brandon237]

Immediately choke, feel extremely nauseated, and possibly run to the bathroom to throw up.

Once all that's done, I run back into the room and demand an explanation for why I was served cat meat. After that, I leave and retreat back to my house for a normal dinner.

This. So many times. I have 5 cats at home here and see them as family. For me personally it would be like eating human meat. It would sit REALLY badly with me. And I would be very nice to all my cats once I got home.

 

[Dr. wonderful]

I'll go, "What?"

Then I think about it, have another bite. "You know, this could go GREAT with some rosemary, and a little bit of garlic powder wouldn't hurt that much."

EDIT: Yes, I have a cat, and I'm a cook. So the best of two worlds.

First, I laugh uncomfortably, then when I see I'm the only one laughing, I say: "Wait, this is for real?" then, after an awkward silence I'll lie and say I've eaten some before in China and dig in. Chow it down as fast as possible hoping I won't taste it. I'll never talk about this with anyone, I won't be coming to his house for about a week, and next time they invite me to eat dinner with them I'll ask them what we will be eating beforehand, and scram if she says something along the lines of dogmeat on a stick.

Yeah I'll do that.

You never know, you might enjoy it.

"Wow, these meatballs are the dog's bollocks!"

OT: slowly extract the piece of meat I had been eating, and set it delicately back down on the plate. Then I slowly get up, excusing myself, turn and suddenly sprint to the nearest (probably closed) window and hurl myself through it.

Lions are felines...

Dingos would have been a more appropriate answer.

 

[TheTurtleMan]

If it was good then I would finish it and say thank you for the delicious meal. Probably freak out a bit later but I understand that certain animals are treated different to other people. There are quite a few people that would be appalled at eating beef even though it seems very normal to a lot of other people.

Although if word goes around that neighbors' cats have been going missing, then we're gonna have some problems.

 

[nuba km]

at first I would be surprised, then I would just enjoy my meal if it tastes nice.

 

[Macgyvercas]

Eh. As long as it's not dog, I'm cool with it.

 

[4nthr4x]

If it tastes good, what's the problem?

 

[Flailing Escapist]

*Blink*

[small]What[/small]?

*Blink*

WHAT?!

I hope it taste good because if my cat smells cat meat on my breath when I get home she's going to KILL me!

 

[Whateveralot]

Eat it.

If I already know it's nice, why would I think it's disgusting all of a suddenly? If I fall for this kind of perception, where is reasoning in everything else I do?

Now talking about the ethics of it, yes, people generally dislike the idea of eating cat (in western societies). I think that I'd think about for a couple of seconds. I mean, really. Who eats cat? Still, I wouldn't just stop eating it knowing it's a animal a lot of people keep as pets.

 

[Flailing Escapist]

Eh. As long as it's not dog, I'm cool with it.

I'm sorry you had to find out this way.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

As long as it tastes good then nom nom nom.

 

[thejackyl]

Give them a strange look, make an excuse, and leave. I'd still be friends with the guy, I just would have dinner again.

This. But to completely avoid the situation, I would politely ask "what are you having?" beforehand. When they answer "Cat", I would politely decline and be on my way.

 

[Mr. Google]

If cats could they would eat the shit out of us. So why should we stop if it's delicious? I'll eat it and if its good I'll eat it again...but not like on a regular basis
