Lilred. I must confess that dog is quite tasty. The only time Koreans eat cats is for medicinal purposes. I wondered about that when I was there and that's what the head houseboy told me. I did go to his home and ate a meal which was quite delicious. He didn't tell me until after we ate that I'd been fed dog. As I said, it was quite good. But then, I'd been on a few Air Force survival schools and ended up eating a lot worse stuff than dog.
Regarding cats, no I haven't had the pleasure. However, a late friend used to trap in the winter for coyotes and bobcats and he said the bobcats tasted like pork, as did a mountain lion he once trapped.
I think much of the repugnance towards eating dogs, cats, whatever is more psychological than anything else. After all, they are meat.
Granted, here we do not have to eat dogs or cats, however, in a country like Korea and I imagine China where poverty is more rampant, Fido and Sylvester get to be on the menu.
I don't mean to gross anyone out, but those are the facts.

PJ, you are right...it is psychological more than anything else.
