PETA has decided to change the name of fish to "Sea Kittens"

This new, gentle suggestion has easily made me happier than I have ever been in my entire life. Contrary to their cause, renaming fish as such has made me question exactly how delectable my own cats are. This also brings up a few questions: First, is the deliciousness limited to only kittens, or is it more like beef and veal? Secondly, what are the best recipes for kittens? How delicious would fillet of persian be, with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables? This might be absolutely ludicrous, but what about serving land and sea kitten together as a surf-and-turf item?
Third, which species would be supreme? Would alley cats be too tough, but the equivalent of ground turkey health wise? Would tom cats be too fatty? What about tabbys? Unfortunately for Tabris, Jasmine, and Ulalume, who are nice and plump and tender, are starting to make my mouth water whenever they patter into the room. So, thank you, PETA, for the alternative food source in these hard economic times. Your efforts will save thousands this winter who are struggling to keep their heat on, and will be thankful for one, or several (i.e.: Crazy cat lady across the hall. You all know at least one) mouths to feed.
