Motherfucker, im not gonna eat gruel everyday, I’d rather eat a hamburger or a salad. Yeah, we choose what we eat for three reason. How safe it is to consume, how nutritional it is, and most importantly, how fucking tasty it is.
Beef is fucking tasty. If it wasn’t, people wouldn’t eat it.
Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we’d see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we’d probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.
Counterpoint: lobster is delicious
Why are you okay eating cow meat and not house cat meat?
House cats: overwhelming over weight so mostly fat. And not the type that pigs and cows are. Feral cats: riddled with diseases and malnourished.
Cows: mostly muscle and with a marbling of fat.
Wow so what youre saying is that youre okay eating one but not the other because one tastes better?
Buddy that’s the first step in eating literally anything.
And that’s supposed to be your counterargument to my original comment?
Are you having a stroke?
Frankly, if you’re looking at the morality of eating meat, this is as good a stance as any.

Why are you making assumptions about what I’m ok with?
I don’t eat either of them
Well, I can’t fit a cow in my house, and it’s not generally cute and cuddly, so it must die instead. But seriously though, are cats even delicious?
You couldn’t be further from the truth.
Fiiiiine, they are cute. And maaaaaybe cuddly, even though they tend to smell if they’ve been outside all day. And they are delicious.
So do cats and dogs.
Yes, but I keep my cats inside, so they smell really nice. Too nice… maybe I do want to eat them after all.

You can’t discount the role that tradition plays in that. Because mutton and goat would have replaced beef decades ago.
I wish mutton and goat were more available near me. Lamb can be had but I want bigger cuts for stew or curry.
All the cultures that do raise those as their primary meats prefer beef.
You’re actually just interested in novelty.
