Cat overpopulation is an actual problem, gobs of cats are put down by the Humane Society every day. I don’t know what they do with their dead cats, but I find wasting perfectly usable meat and tissue more offensive than the proposed barbecue.
That’s a good point. However, the danger with a cat BBQ is that people develop a taste for them and, rather than eating the leftovers from the Humane Society, breed their own for good flavour. In fact, I pretty much guarantee that, should Barbecue-a-Cat-Day ever catch on (and be celebrated in earnest), then this will indeed happen.

FWIW, I am both a cat owner and a vegetarian.
I wonder if more or fewer people would adopt cats if the cats would otherwise be barbecued.

I was not under the impression that cats tasted good.
That is a ridiculously sensible proposal, and I feel silly for not having thought of it myself.
