Lions came to mind first, and so they were used. Something dog related would have been too mainstream. I was non-conformist before conformity became conformist.binnsyboy said:

Ask if that's a joke. If it isn't, I'd just avoid that meat, unless it's really that good. I actually own a cat (with a terrible personality and I love her as blindly as a mother would), so the thought of eating or even dissecting for science purposes makes me uncomfortable.
That said, I wouldn't think badly of my friend or his/her family for it. Sometimes you just want to be adventurous. Koreans eat dog (though I never had it personally and some members of my family born and raised there tell me that the idea makes them uncomfortable too) and, unless I'm much mistaken, Hindus regard the cow as a sacred animal and even auto accidents with them is a sin.
Now if it were human meat, then I'd be on the market for a new friend.

She would probably go in her wolf form and just be like "You wannna eat wolf now *****?"Macgyvercas said:
I'm a bit surprised by the response of the meat eaters here since they have no problem eating a cow, I personally wouldn't eat it anyway though since I'm a vegetarian.
if its good, its good. id probably be freaked out as hell, and not eat anymore of the meat, and respectfully explain that I DONT ROLL LIKE THAT.darthzew said:

I always thought you guys did that to keep the stray animal population down. Also I heard in one dynasty a delicacy in China was roasted honey-garlic (or just honey, been a few years since I read the book) rat babies, and that probably isn't the wierdest.ADeskofRichMahogany said:
Joking aside, if you can't stomach it just say so, they'll probably understand. Cats are cute, but they are a good source of food as well.
If it's prepared like the last time I saw cat being prepared, then I beat them with a chair for savage animal cruelty.
Ok, first of all, lets say i'm not vegetarian in this case obviously, now I would just keep eating and maybe mention that i've never tried cat meat before and ask where she got it
Not really applicable- my group of friends are very much cat lovers. My fiance is the only exception, but he knows I love cats too much to pull a stunt like that.
But hypothetically, stop eating and immedately question the origins and legality of eating the meat. Assuming they could convince me that it was a 'meat cat' (ie, bred to be eaten) and it was legal... well, I might finish it. My relatives all hunt, so I've eaten some strange things as it is. Not sure if I could finish it though, just from the suddeness of it.

Um, well, if it's that bloody tasty (no pun intended) I'd keep on eating... Why judge your friends by their eating habits? And what's the difference between slaughtering a chicken and eating at, and slaughtering a cat and eating it? Animals - same thing. But I'd probably consult a doctor, to see if it's healthy.
*continue chewing, tasting the meat even more in my mouth*
"seriously?, wow, its really tasty, to be honest never really ate cat before, is it a custom from your country?" (considering they are from a country that eats cats)
if its not that country change the last part for "you eat cat often?"
there are several possible responses from the mom "yes, its a family recipe" "i was joking" "we are going trough troubled times and have no money for other kind of meat"
whichever is the response, I just tried something different, had a very good conversation topic and knew more about my dear friend than I knew before, doing anything else is really just being an asshole and impolite towards the family that just offered to feed you for free, even more if its because of troubled times, I was raised with a sense of valor, honor, and values that would make it impossible to me to be rude in that kind of situation, hell, I wouldn't have even thought of refusing the invitation in the first place because its a real honor to be treated as part of the family by the mother of my friend the only thing i might have added is a "if it causes you, miss no more trouble or work I don´t see why not", being invited to share their intimate time as a family is one of the greatest things one can offer, and even though I´m not religious I find it sacred in its own way, I am a guest in their house after all, and I value friendship much more over whatever preconceived ideas I might have had towards eating a cat
and yes, I call "miss" to every lady or woman that is older than me by a great margin, always, I am 25 years old, I have a kid, but thats the way I was raised, hell, I call "Sir" to the older people that I have just met, but I am a gentleman to women every single time.
This reminded me of a time where I went to a Christian house to play some Video Games with a friend, I was invited to eat with the family, first thing you have to remember, NEVER be the one to take the first bite, always wait for someone else from the family to start, so they said grace, I respectfully lowered my head and said "amen" with them, after eating my friend called me aside and asked me "why did you said amen at the end? i thought you were not Christian" my reply was simple "I might not be a Christian, but I am in your house and I am not going to disrespect your family with my beliefs, and saying "so be it" to the wish that every other family might have food in their tables and giving thanks for the food we are about to eat is not against my beliefs" (the grace was something along the lines on "thank you for the meal bla bla and may the lest fortunate find their plates full this day")
Just because your beliefs are different than someone else's, that doesn't mean you have to feel entitled in their own house about it... thats how I was raised, as I said before, they are doing a LOT by opening their home to you and entrusting you with their private life.

Probably have a minor freak out for a moment, then calm down and apologize but leave, and never eat at their place again. I would still hang out with said person though, I just don't agree with eating cat or dog.
