Having an Ogre for a housemate wasn’t bad, but there were cultural differences. Still, Bog was a gentle giant.
Cindy arrived home saying, “Bog? I haven’t seen Max and Maggie.”
“Who?”
“The cats.”
Bog stopped stirring the stew. “You mean the livestock?”

Quite likely! I think Cindy saw her cats as family members, and certainly not livestock! Sometimes these cultural lessons are hard ones.

I’ll pass your thoughts on to her. She’ll be adopting new ones from the animal shelter, soon as Bog finds a new apartment. 😉

Oh dear! Cat stew! This reminds me of a restaurant or two in my area getting in trouble for serving cat meat. Yikes! :eek”

Yikers! Better look at the employee list and see if there aren’t any obvious Ogre names. 😉

Yes, I agree with you. Their reputation was completely destroyed. Which is sad if it didn’t really happen and was only rumors.

I honestly didn’t think anyone “really” did that. I thought it was simply urban myth.

I wondered the same thing. You’re probably right that it was “urban myth.” Sadly, it destroyed them.

Well, I wouldn’t feel sad that it destroyed them. Using cats as meat is bad enough, then advertising it as beef, is remarkably irresponsible. They shouldn’t be running restaurants. This company in China was packaging meat and marking it as beef. Turned out, it was Rat meat. Yeah. They aren’t in business anymore either.
