Cats really do stink when you gut them, but they cook up OK. But then, I'm not Vietnamese and I would rather have chicken. But when you are hungry, hey.
I suggest using a vinegar based sauce, or marinade, like you would with raccoon for best results. Come to think about it, it does remind me of coon, but its definitely better than possum.
I used to eat Armadillo, also called Hoover's Hog and Depression Meat, until I found out they can carry leprosy. I don't handle them anymore. You can make a nice basket by tossing the carcase on an fire ant bed for a few days. The tail makes cool looking rings too.
Somehow I don't believe most of you have ever really have had to worry about food, or even got down to hardcore woods living, earlier in your life. My father wanted me to have an appreciation for where our family came from. My mother once told me she was most proud of the fact that none of her children ever had to pick cotton. Share croppers and farmers in the South were/are a hard living bunch of proud people. They also make the finest soldiers this country has ever produced.
