I'm about to spill the beans and let you in on a little secret.
"Do Haitians eat cats" is one of the most frequently asked questions of Haitians in elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and professional settings.
Many Haitians feel uncomfortable answering this question. I, on the other hand, don't have this problem.
Get ready. This one will shock you. Do Haitians eat cats?
Yes, they eat cats.
However, eating cat meat is not a daily or nationwide practice. Haitians mostly eat cats on December 24th in a national festivity called "Reveyon", a big Christmas party.
This is exclusively known to a select group of Haitians found mostly in the countryside and remote villages.
Now I know you have many questions that need answers. I will answer some of them right here for you.
Let's go. Why do Haitians eat cats? Contrary to popular belief, Haitians don't eat cats because they are poor and hungry. They eat cats because it's a tradition.

Eating cats is not a new habit but an old tradition that started long ago in slavery.
For instance, runaway slaves hunted, killed, and ate wild cats deep in Haiti's forest and treacherous mountains many years before Haiti became a nation. So the practice of eating cats is just as old as Haiti herself.

When a country’s major religion is Voodoo don’t put anything past them.
If you have some, let me know and I'll send my address.
My cats prefer BBQ'd Haitians but plain old pan-fried in butter is fine.
There is some wiggle room in there...and it says nothing about respecting other people's pets.
The article was he5 even though it’s from March 2019.

It’s the Voodoo that you do so well.
People will eat people if they’re hungry enough. When was that plane crash?
My boy should stay inside until the new year.
While most Haitians do not eat cats, and it is not a traditional or culturally typical part of Haitian cuisine, some isolated cases have occurred, generally due to extreme poverty or food scarcity. In these situations, survival needs may lead some to consume non-traditional sources of protein, but this practice is not widespread or culturally accepted in Haiti. Haitian cuisine predominantly features dishes made from staples like rice, beans, plantains, pork, and goat.
We could find out rather quickly if we release some bobcats and pumas into their neighborhoods.
Lots of men (and some women) eat ...
Oh ...
wait ...
That’s not what we’re talking about.
AND they are cannibals too. A lovely culture we imported here.
Just a few months ago there was a lot of news about a local gang leader affectionately named "Barbeque" because he would grill his enemies over a fire and eat them. The stories never covered the point of whether he used Heinz, Bulls Eye, or a homemade sauce.
Shouldn’t we try to get word out to Springfield, Ohio and other places that have a larger Haitian population to bring their cats in a week or two before Christmas?
Like Filipinos eat dog.
