    Are you sure they eat cats in Asia? I was just in China and I couldn't find cat meat in any of the cities we visited.

    Because had we found any, I would have ate some just so I could say I've eaten it before.

    Loved the 10th fact. Cats used to be an avatar of Anubis. Or did I get it wrong? God of Death.
