Well, not quite. I have been told that eating meat makes the flesh taste acidic, which is why most cultures (by and large, with exceptions) don't eat carnivorous animals. I have also been told that cat carcasses were sold in France during the war as headless rabbits, given that without the head one animal looks pretty much like the other, from the point of view of a butcher's display. So I don't know if people were fooled, or did notice the difference, and just shut up about it -- assuming that the story is actually true, of course.
