Cat was also eaten in Spain, from whence the most popular "roast cat" recipe
hails.  The footnote in the modern book noted that cat was served (knowingly)
in some of the upper class homes, and unknowingly (called "rabbit") in many
of the lower class taverns.  I only own one cat that would make a plump meal.
The other is too stringy.
