Well looks like I'm eating crow, which I've never tried. I'm surprised at the answers. I,ve talked to a few ol' timers around here and to my knowledge nobody ate cat meat.

Of course around here cats were scarce until a few years ago. They were protected. Now we have a season on them. Go figure. Other than habitat loss maybe thats why there was a shortage of them, they were good to eat.

I'm not a Feline fan, but I think the big cats are beautiful animals. Unlike the Wolves that sometimes kill just for fun, the cats stick by their kill unless pressured by man, and eat it all. At least so I've been told. But that doesn't explain why a cougar would attack a horse on a ranch close to here. It must have been starving. I can't see a cougar dragging a horse away. It would be a slight size mismatch.

Thanks for all the info everybody, you have enlightened me.

Best wishes, Bill
