Cat Recipes?

[6mm Remington]

Breakfast sausage made with mixed fatty pork roast was great. Adds a little fat to the meat. Just rolled in flour and fried in butter and a bit of olive oil is great. Steaks were mild and tender.

Put it in the crab pots and trade it for Dungeness crab.

We just substitute it in pork recipes and never had a problem. It's just like cooking wild pork but a bit leaner.

^This. I've had the backstraps grilled and made breakfast sausage. Good stuff.

Fried!

Tried some deep fried and it tasted like chicken.

Cut the back strap into 1/2 wide pieces then I hammer them a little with the backside of my knife or the meat hammer. Dip it into pancake batter and fry it up.

I have also had fajitas and smoked a ham then chopped it up for BBQ sandwiches.

Tender loin wrapped in bacon and smothered in apple butter BBQ sauce- grilled. We do any lynx I trap this way.

Make italian sausage with it. Extremely good.

Starting to make me hungry. I have had the oppertunity to eat mtn lion and Bobcat. Problem was I am allergic to cats
Was afraid I would have a reaction and was a long way from a hospital. My loss it seems.

I cubed mtn lion backstraps into chislic meat and fried it in a skillet with butter and seasonings. Nothing special for seasonings. Was decently tender and had good flavor.
Everything else, I ground into burger. The pulled pork idea sounds good though

The first time I tried cooking mtn lion, I used olive oil in a skillet and the meat was definitely tougher than when fried in butter. Flavor was not as good either.

I’m terribly allergic to house cats. Have never reacted to eating mountain lion. Didn’t have any adverse effects to handling my lion for pictures or breaking it down either. Most certainly your loss, unfortunately.

Stir fry, fajitas, kabobs, I've done pulled pork style bbq with a roast. It's all pretty good and it takes on flavor well just remember that it's lean don't overcook it to much but make sure it gets done through.

Best I've had was my buddies mountain lion fajitas. He cooked it is plow disc wok, wow it was good.

We've made Barbacoa out of some of my lion. Similar to this recipe. After cooking it a few different ways I think any pork recipe will work, just factor in this meat is extremely lean.

Pulled pork style turns out substantially the same as real pulled pork, and very tasty. Also have done finger steaks which turned our really well with lion. It will dry out, so keeping moisture in and adding a little fat does not hurt

Treat it like pork, make pulled bbq. My kids love it.

 

[Iceman82]

bake it with a small piece of walnut wood for 3 hours. Throw the lion meat away and eat the wood.

Eaten lions and bobcat. Both were good. Just on the grill

I put the entire ham on the smoker for 8 hrs for a game feed and most people thought it was pork.

Looking for more ways to eat a Cat other than burger. Anyone have some suggestions or tried and true recipes?

From behind gets interesting sometimes

A game feed is perfect, everyone is drinking heavily and anything edible tastes incredibly well.

Kung Pow Kat!

That is how we’ve made our bobcats. One of my kids favorite meals.
