From the Book of Songs? And bears, cats, tigers? Although it is not certain that it is a cat at this time, it is recorded in the Book of Rites of the Western Han Dynasty. The ancient gentleman, make it must be reported, welcome it with cats, and feed it with voles? . It can be seen from this sentence that cats have been domesticated by human beings and become domestic animals everywhere. In addition, Li Shizhen wrote in Compendium of Materia Medica:? Obstetric abscess, rat fistula, poison? What does this sentence mean? But if you eat cat meat, it is not delicious, and there are few users if you don't eat it. ? In our current words, cat meat is not delicious, sour and can't be served.

Besides the bad taste of cats, there are several reasons that influenced the ancients not to eat cat meat. First of all, cats are not easy to be caught, because wild cats have strong viability and are extremely cunning. Secondly, domestic cats are generally regarded as pets. Cats can't be kept in captivity on a large scale like pigs, cows and sheep, so it is much more difficult to raise cats than other livestock. In addition, cats are omnivores, which eat both bugs and mice, and are particularly susceptible to parasites, which can be transmitted to humans.

But people will eat everything they see in extreme conditions. Among the eight major cuisines, there is a dish called Cantonese cuisine. Long Hudou? Dragon refers to snake, tiger refers to cat. This dish can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite. Although our country does not eat cat meat and is not interested in cat meat, there is one country that is interested in cat meat, and that is Vietnam.

Only during the war did Vietnam start eating cats. Due to the large population in Vietnam, the number of wild cats can't meet the needs of local people, and some cats raised by families have also been snatched away and eaten. But everything happens for a reason. Vietnamese love cats so much that a plague broke out in 1997. At that time, the government also banned restaurants at all levels from serving cat meat, but some people still took it seriously and smuggled and sold cats. We should take this as a warning.
