How can you identify if what you were served is chicken and not cat?

Question

It seemed reputable, it'd been in magazines, but hey, it's a Chinese restaurant afterall, and the meat was dry and tough and thin...shady.

Answer 1

Good question, I don't know the answer, but if you are concerned about that, don't eat at that place.

Answer 2

Is this a real question?

1) Chicken is usually tender and moist, where as cat is stringy and dry
2) Check the health department rating of your resturant, if it is closed you might have been eating cat (j/k)
3) Don't eat in forgien countries where it is common to eat "pet" animals as it is illegal to serve this animals in the US

Answer 3

if THAT'S your problem, then instead of worrying about identifying your food, I FIRST suggest you DON"T EAT AT THAT PLACE!
GAWD!
btw, u'll never know even if they serve u white rats instead of chicken, honey, so dont eat in places that make u suspicious of what kinda meat they r serving u!

Answer 4

The bones. Bird bones are light and relatively weak, very easy to snap in two. Mammal bones are more solid and harder to break.

Answer 5

If you have to ask this question, perhaps you should evaluate the places where you are dining!

Answer 6

cat tends to be reddish in color and a bit stringy

Answer 7

If this is a concern, you're paranoid.
