He ate at a black man’s apartment and it was cat.

You don’t have to call him a liar, what a bizarre and nasty thing for you jump in with.

“In Africa, particularly in Cameroon, eating cat meat is associated with ceremonies believed to bring good luck. The consumption of cat meat in Asia shows significant regional variations. For example, in China cat meat is considered a warming food during winter months, although it is not widely consumed across the country.”

“Italian food writer Beppe Bigazzi mentioned that during the famine in World War II, cat stew was a “succulent” and well-known dish in his home area of Valdarno, Tuscany.”

“The Associated Press reported in 2008 that people in southern China’s Guangdong province (population just over 113 million) ate 10,000 cats per day. In Guangdong, cat meat is a main ingredient in the traditional dish “dragon, tiger, phoenix” (snake, cat, chicken), which is said to fortify the body.”

“Cat meat is a traditional protein consumed in the diet of the Irula people of southern India.”

“Indigenous Australians in the area of Alice Springs roast feral cats on an open fire. They have also developed recipes for cat stew. Some other inhabitants of the area have also taken up this custom, justified on the grounds that felines are “a serious threat to Australia’s native fauna”.”

“United States
In December 2018, the Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2018 was signed into federal law, making the commercial slaughter and trade of cat meat illegal and punishable by a fine of $5,000, except as part of Native American religious ceremonies. Previous to that bill, consuming cat meat was legal in 44 states.”
