   100 cats will be sacrificed on the third Saturday and Sunday of September as part of the feast of St. Iphigenia, also known as "Cat Party" or "party curruñao". This happens in the village La Quebrada in San Luis de Canete (south of Lima).
   Google translation: About 100 cats are killed between Saturday and Sunday in the town of La Quebrada in San Luis de Canete (south of Lima) to develop a series of popular dishes in honor of the Black Madonna Santa Efigenia, patron of the town, organizers said. The tradition of eating cats during the celebrations of Santa Iphigenia-virgin who was brought in the 17th century by the Spanish to La Quebrada to black slaves revere-has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign tourists. The feast of St. Iphigenia also known as the "cat party" or "party curruñao" is performed on the third Saturday and Sunday of September. The cats are bred to be slaughtered "with great care and tenderness" by villagers whose homes become restaurants. This year offer dishes like "cat vegetables baked with the olive oil", "carapulca cat", "cat fried marinated in pisco and wine", "grilled cat", "cat marinated", among others. One of the secrets told by old residents of La Quebrada is that after eating the animal should have a glass of wine or pisco "for kitty to grip well."
