Yes Haitians do 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.
You’re ready? 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.
Do Haitians eat other types of animals?
Yes. Haitians eat cows, goats, sheep, chickens, pork, etc., but cat meat is a delicacy that many from the countryside simply can’t resist.
Look…
“having a Reveyon without a cat is like celebrating Thanksgiving without a turkey.”
Unless you are a vegetarian, some just have to have it.

It is an honor to be entered and “ridden” by a Loa, or spirit. In Haiti these rituals are commonplace: Voodoo is the dominant religion.
Haiti animal sacrifices voodoo
In Haitian Voodoo, animal sacrifice is an integral part of the tradition12. During ceremonies, a priest or priestess sacrifices a sanctified chicken or other animal to the Loa (spirits). Participants seek advice or help from the spirits, and it is believed that the Loa sometimes communicate prophecies, advice, or warnings while the believer is possessed1.

Black cats and witches go hand in paw in popular culture but the origins of the witches’ familiar aren’t so black and white. Where did the connection between witches and cats stem from, why did it begin, and how did it perpetuate? Cats were not maligned in ancient times; we all know the Egyptians worshiped them so what happened? This article explores the shift in popularity that took place in sixteenth-century Britain and looks at some of the strange beliefs associated with cats during the witch trials of this century and the next.

Cats – From the monk’s companion, to the Devil himself.
In Europe in the Middle Ages, cats were kept to protect grain stores by keeping the rodent population down. They were so highly valued for their rat- catching skills that an adult cat would fetch the same price as a full-grown sheep, goat or untrained house dog. A kitten was deemed the same value as a piglet or lamb.
Cats were also the only animals to be allowed in monasteries for the same purpose. Religious manuscripts often feature cats chasing or eating mice and it’s likely cats were considered welcome companions for the monks.

Why is it legal to eat cats in Haiti?
Some Haitians eat cat’s meat freely for three reasons:
- There are no laws designed to prevent people from eating cats.
- Most Haitians do not have a human-like relationship with their pets.
- Some see cats just like pork, beef, and chicken. So there is no discrimination.
What does cat meat taste like?
Cat meat actually tastes like chicken. A scientific explanation for this similarity is that because many animals evolve from a common ancestor, they often taste the same even when they smell differently.
When I tried it a few years ago, that was exactly my impression. But to discover if this is true, you must try it to draw your own conclusion.
Why are there no cats in Haiti?
It is a lie to claim there are no cats in Haiti.
Think about it!
Here is the truth:
Haitian’s relationship with their pets is different from what you would typically see in North American or European homes.
While pet owners in those places may feel comfortable letting their pets in their beds, in Haiti, the dynamic of the relationship is completely different.
For example, they use dogs to guard their home and cats to catch the mouse in their kitchen and gardens. However, this is where the interaction stops for most Haitians.
All that kissy-feely stuff you see people do with their pets in those North American and European countries is mostly unacceptable in Haiti.
If you see more dogs than cats in Haiti, know that it is not because they eat all the cats. It is just that dogs are cherished more because of their guardianship ability.
Haitian families don’t often take a pet into their homes just because they want to.
No. They will get a cat or a dog based on the family’s need.
Do Haitians eat cats in other countries?
No. Most Haitians are law-abiding people. They would probably not steal, kill and cook a cat outside of Haiti.
So, please, if your cat goes missing do not rush to accuse your Haitian neighbor because pets go missing all the time.
In addition, should you now be scared of Haitian food because of this?
NO!
Haitians would probably never serve you cat meat without telling you about it. It is such an eventful thing, you would know about it anyway.
Remember, this is mostly a once-a-year activity and not all Haitians eat cat meat. Next time someone offers you a plate of Haitian food or invites you to a Reveyon, go ahead and enjoy.
Remember, eating cats is exclusive to a select group of Haitians mostly from the countryside, and Haitians probably don’t kill and eat cats in other countries.
Conclusion
Do Haitians eat cats?
Yes. It is an old tradition exclusively known to a select group of Haitians from mostly the countryside.
Should you try it?
Maybe. I don’t think it’s for everyone because you may find it repugnant.
But you’ll never know if you don’t try. You may end up liking it very much.
What do you think? Would you eat cat meat?
