Cats and Rats don't have much meat on them. One of my pet Rats, for example, weighed 500 grams - which is about 18 ounces ounces or a little over a pound. When you take out the skeleton, intestines and the fat that would leave you with very little meat.
Cats and Rats aren't exactly heavy on the meat content in their bodies - so it wouldn't make much sense to butcher a Rat or a Cat just for the little amount of meat you'd get out of them. It would take up too much time and effort - and time is money.
You'd probably be able to tell the difference anyhow. The meat would be tough and gamy. It wouldn't taste like what you're used to. Try eating venison or alligator or frog or rabbit and you'll know you aren't eating chicken!

What if they did? Some cultures consider that food, and good food at that. Many cultures eat things we might consider odd, but that doesn't make it bad necessarily.
Why don't you flip a lip around a cat or rat that has been well prepared and then come back to the questions and let us know how it went.

I guess restaurants have health inspectors who come and examine the restaurants for cleaniness, use of proper ingredients, etc. I strongly believe that the Chinese food in the US doesn't serve rat or cat!

I was in China this month and saw dog meat on a menu..in Beijing..so it´s not just remote rural areas where they eat dogs!!! I don´t know about cats and rats though...on a few occasions I went to a buffet or told the waiter to just prepare food for a certain amount of money and put it on the table (when I was with more people) so I can´t be completely sure I didn´t eat dog or smt else I would never choose to eat...

Because rat and cat are not traditional Chinese ingredients.
Don't be so ignorant. The world could really do without people like you.

It's not too common. Rats I've seen, probably tastes like chicken. Never seen cats being served though. Dogs are more common.
Anyway, that's for the rural backward areas of China. For the more educated population, they dun eat such things anymore. Their fav meal is Big Macs.

When are some people decide to stop
having sex with dogs, cats, horses, birds, mouse, snakes, chickens, chihuahuas, pythons, parrots, goats, sheeps, moose, cows, zebras, gorrilaz, elephants, sperm whales, dinosaurs, or their own family relatives behind closed doors......
*floozy niki- don't speak on behalf of the more educated chinese, they would eat real chinese food any given day over a plain hamburger. we usually leave the big mac to feed the dogs and people like angst.

How do you know any food you buy or get at a resturant doesn't have cat or rat in it??
The reputation of the establishment is the only way. If you are not sure, don't eat there.
