Fred Penner - the cat came back
Cats did produce usable parts - gut, for example - and actually were eaten in many places, particularly in France and around Barcelona. In Spain, rabbits had to be sold with their ears on so that consumers could make sure they were not eating cat. There’s a Spanish phrase that means defraud, which is “dar gato por liebre,” meaning “offer cat as rabbit,” so you can see this was pretty widespread.
