Not as a hard fast rule anyway. My mother-in-law is Brazilian and she never makes mention of this either. I've studied their culture and this isn't a part of the regular meals. I'm not saying that individuals won't eat a cat if they were hungry enough, but this isn't the mainstream. No offense taken, we all have to eat.

I don't think so- if that's a custom, I never heard about it- but I saw a documentary in South America where people in a ghetto cooked a stray cat on the street in a bucket and ate it. They probably wouldn't eat otherwise.

Well, I don't know about Brazilians eating cats, but I do know that Peruvians eat chinchillas. Same Continent, different animal.

In the poorer sections of Brazil, just as in the poorer sections of any country, anything that moves is considered food.

They don't eat cats. I think you're confused w/ Asians.
