Availability is likely a factor here. House cats are everywhere, but professionally prepared cat meat is not. If it was in the cooler at your local walmart and priced comparably to beef, we'd see a lot more people eating cat. If the taste and texture are better than beef, we'd probably even start to see a market shift as more and more people start thinking of them as food instead of pets.
You can't discount the role that tradition plays in that. Because mutton and goat would have replaced beef decades ago.
