Ah, the old game of who's dick is bigger. Poth parties came out of the pool, looked down and said, let's do this later.
We all know who controls who.
How is this different from welfare assistance?

how nasty in attitude cats can be and cannot help but being grossed-out by the thought of eating one. yuuuuucccckkkkkoooooo..... i love cats, infact i have four, but this cruelty and selfishness is repulsive...
Your comment is inconsistent or..
If you believe cats have bad attitudes, they get that from one of two ways:
1. Having cats that were born and raised feral and eventually fed. (Cats, unlike most critters can go feral in the first generation. That's why they've survived so long.) Feeding feral cats - - helping their overpopulation - sadly increases their population and the amount of cats who suffer, rather than enjoy, life; helps the spread of feline disease, etc. etc.
2. Not caring for your cat enough for your cat to care about you - to the admittedly limited extent that cats can. That's exactly what makes them so different as pets. That IS their personality.
I'd recommend that either your cats... or you . . . read a little about basic cat behavior and raising cats. There's tons of free stuff online.

P.s.,
* Are the cats you claim as "yours" indoor or outdoor?** Are you the only one who feeds them? Do you worry when one goes missing?
** "Indoors vs. Outdoors: A Comparison Indoor cats have an average life span of 12 -20 years when compared to 1 - 5 years for a cat kept outdoors." [Link]

I'm not a vegetarian, so I'm not asking this to advocate not eating meat. What is the difference between eating a cat and a pig? Pigs are just as (or more) intelligent. We condition ourselves to consider some species as pets while other species are designated as food. They could offer the cats a much more human way of treatment though. I personally probably wouldn't eat a cat on purpose unless it came to it. I find it interesting that in India the cow is sacred and not killed for food while in other countries it's a staple. Same for horse meat.
(An inappropriate joke) The difference between the Chinese and the French? Both will cook and eat anything, the difference is soy versus butter based sauces.
A cat is a carnivorous animal.
HFL - Interesting Point
I find myself wondering are there any critters out there humans routinely eat that are pure carnivores, as opposed to omnivores, such as swine. Those bred for human food ("bred for slaughter" is the phrase) USED to be ONLY corn/grain fed, although a read of Harris' "Hannibal", (a follow-up to "Silence of the Lambs") gives one cause for concern on that point.
Now almost all fish are either carnivores or vegetarian...("vegetors?") so it's really not applicable to look at them. I guess the same might be said of water mammals, although they have a greater proportion of carnivores and omnivores amongst them. (E.g., Killer Whales, Porpoises (carnivores); Baleeen Whales (who eat the shrimp (animal) they get with their primary diet of plankton) contra Manatees, veges only...)
Looking at it by Vore type: (I would have included "eaten by humans in times of starvation - but there's little that would NOT qualify there.)
VEGETORS
Critter: Eaten (in quantity) Eaten (in quantity) in East?
in West?
Bovine Yes Yes/No
Sheep Yes Yes
Goat No Yes
Equine No Yes?
Deer Yes Yes
OMNIVORES
Porcine Yes No/Yes
Bear No Yes?
Racoon No N/A
Armidillo No N/A
Opossumn ? No N/A
Primates No Yes (Primitive cultures)
Poultry Yes Yes
CARNIVORES
Felines No Yes
Canines No Yes
Eagles/Hawks No No?
Cormorants No No?
Carrion Birds No No?
(e,g, Vultures)
Conclusion: I gotta guess that a meat fed porcine is going to taste a hell of a lot better than a meat fed canine or feline.

So is a pig, when meat is available. Actually they are OMNIvores, just like humans and bears.
But then I s'pose, we eat chickens that eat worms and stuff.
A degree"with relish"See Gulag Arch
True, because if I were starving, I'm confident I would eat a dead vulture, - then being a pure carnivore - "with relish," to quote Solzhenitsyn's preface to to The Gulag Archipelago, which I've gotta add:
Preface
In 1949 some friends and I came upon a noteworthy news item in Nature, a magazine of the Academy of Sciences. It reported in tiny type that in the course of excavations on the Kolyma River a subterranean ice lens had been discovered which was actually a frozen stream — and in it were found frozen specimens of prehistoric fauna some tens of thousands of years old.
Whether fish or salamander, these were preserved in so fresh a state, the scientific correspondent reported, that those present immediately broke open the ice encasing the specimens and devoured them with relish on the spot.
The magazine no doubt astonished its small audience with the news of how successfully the flesh of fish could be kept fresh in a frozen state. But few, indeed, among its readers were able to decipher the genuine and heroic meaning of this incautious report.
As for us, however — we understood instantly. We could picture the entire scene right down to the smallest details: how those present broke up the ice in frenzied haste; how, flouting the higher claims of ichthyology and elbowing each other to be first, they tore off chunks of the prehistoric flesh and hauled them over to the bonfire to thaw them out and bolt them down.
We understood because we ourselves were the same kind of people as those present at that event. We, too, were from that powerful tribe of zeks, unique on the face of the earth, the only people who could devour prehistoric salamander "with relish."
RC sez: Read it!
