Why don't they make Mouse Flavored Catfood?

I found this funny post on "theStraightDope.com"... very interesting...


...Just in case you're serious, consider that: (1) A cat fending for itself in the wild hunts mice not necessarily because of the irresistible taste but because that's what's around to be caught. If it had any chance of landing a tuna, it might well give the mice a pass. (2) A cat that's fed by humans hunts mice because it's (a) instinctive and (b) fun. And, crucially, (3) what goes into the average can of cat food has at least something to do with what's left over after they make the human food, and for whatever reason mouse meat has never really won many fans at the top of the food chain.

that's awesome. I gotta fwd that to all my cat-crazed fam members up in Chi-town. My own father is proud that he orders specially select cut mesquite turkey from the deli for his cats...scary, I know.
