Just a thought on eating cats. An old boy from Alabama that catchs cats and sells them brought a half of a 22 pounder to a fish fry we had. I thought of this is going to be bad. It was great!! I ask him what he does to these big cats. he said that you have to bleed them while they are still alive. They are a very bloody fish and if you let them die with that blood in them they are strong. He cuts their tail off up into the meat just a little while they are alive. They will spray out a stream of blood. Clean them right away. He cut his into pieces about like a perch filet and deep fried them in peanut oil. This with homemade hush puppieds and a beer, man what a meal.
