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.
