Cat meat anyone?

I was reading on Sky News this morning how an Italian chef has got into hot water for praising the benefits of cat meat on Italy's equivalent of Ready Steady Cook.

His defence is that in the 30s and 40s during the war, meat was very scarce and they did what they could to survive. He didn't actually say he grabs the nearest family cat and sticks it on a spit nowadays.

Now I am a cat lover and could no more eat a cat than fly to the moon. I would rather starve.

Unless of course he was talking about the tinned variety and enjoys a can of Whiskers or Felix every now and again.

Nothing wrong with that, although it is not that great for the breath.
