Default TRAVEL WARNING: Avoid the little tiger dish in Vietnam

I've never eaten cats but I heard they taste like rabbits.

I heard cats were eaten instead of rabbits during WWII here in northern
Italy.

Could be that they are still popular in Veneto, at least there is a
dialectal proverb which says "padovani gran dotori, veneziani gran
signori, vicentini magnagati, veronesi tuti mati" i.e. "inhabitants of
Padue are great doctors, those of Venice are great lords, those of
Vicenza are cat eaters, and those of Verona are all crazy"

Sounds delicious. Do they allow you to bring in cats for custom cooking?
Between my two sons, I can think of four good meals they own.

Isn't it theorized that SARS may have come from rural people eating a
particular breed of wild cat (I think it was called a 'Civet') in
China/Asia?

"practically cooked cat?" Is that practically cooked or practically cat?
We just had a local Chinese restaurant shut down for serving actual cooked
cat. It was fully cooked and fully cat.
