I've eaten both overseas. Dog was unwillingly, wasn't aware until after I ate. Cat, I hate cats so I didn't care.
Dog was kind of a cross between beef and lamb, I didn't chew on it much longer than that. Wouldn't recommend it.
Cat is kind of like pork maybe. It was good with BBQ sauce. The best was the teriyaki cat on skewers.

Both dogs and cats are the absolute earliest forms of domestication. They arose out of those two animals CHOOSING to live proximal to humans of their own accord. Cats and dogs have not only demonstrated a willingness to endear themselves with humans, but have proven to be extremely utilitarian.
Because bacon.
The actual reason we are not cannibals is because if we ate human tissue, holes would form in the brain and become stark raving mad before we died.

While it may seem initially disturbing, I think it's a valid question - I agree that social and behavioral norms developed over history are the reasons we eat farm animals but not domestic ones.
If anything - the arguments works the other way for me - when I think about how similar farm animals are to domestic ones, it makes me feel guilty for eating the cows, not curious why I'm not eating dogs...

I have a feeling if I lived on a farm and became emotionally attached to the chickens and cows, I would probably feel about them the way I feel about dogs and cats? Yea, that’s my best guess as to why I couldn’t eat dog or cat meat, but other cultures do. Maybe they view all animals as fair game to eat.

One of my guildmates in an online MMORPG has a pet pig that sleeps in bed with her and her husband.
Make of that what you will. She said it's not a sexual thing. And yes, I asked.
Monkeys are not for eating. They are for spanking only.

I used to live a few blocks from this place when I was a kid. My mom would go down there once a week and get meat. I didn't care for it, too gamey (bitter and tough). Had to eat it anyway, lol.
They outlawed it for human consumption in Oregon shortly thereafter. It's been legalized again recently, but there's not much of a market for it any more, so nobody sells it.

In Italy the website of Avis (Italian association of blood donors) openly and explicitly recommends blood donors to eat horse meat because it's so rich in iron. As a kid I remember being told that if you went to donate blood they'd give you a piece of horse meat to take home, but not sure if it was a urban legend.
