1. I had one that used to accompany me to farmers' markets on a leash. He loved winter squash.

He always wanted to stop and smell them. He used to like to sample them at home, too.

But he didn't love squash as much as this cat loves cucumbers.

2. Interesting

Lots of videos showing cats scared of cucumbers

3. In the 1970s my Siamese cat (named Kilroy) loved cantaloupe!

6. Mine too! Like, was crazy for them!

We would find discarded wedges recovered by the cat from the garbage with claw lines all across them! Like couragated melon!

12. I would forget from year to year (cantaloupe season) but when I sat in the kitchen

digging into a wedge of cantaloupe, Kilroy would jump up on an adjoining chair and stare woefully at me until I gave him a chunk.

4. My Tico loves lettuce. In the 1970s & 1980s I had a Tonkinese who loved tomato juice.

And another cat loved stir-tried vegetables.

My daughter has a cat who loves the string pulled off bananas.

5. I've seen videos where cucumbers scare the dickens out of cats, no idea why

Maybe they think it's a snake thing? Those look like zucchini tho...

14. those videos are hysterically funny! I tried that with ours and they just looked

at it like "Meh" as cats do.

7. I had a cat who liked melon, 30+ years ago

His name was Bear, and he also liked the smell of this olive oil soap I had, he reacted to it like catnip.

His brother, Junior, didn't get excited by the soap, and never wanted melon, but I caught him slurping up my egg nog a few times.

I named my current cat Eden, because she was a feral kitten I found in my garden 11 years ago. She still loves to hang out there. I never caught her eating veggies, but there's catnip she enjoys. She also often guards the strawberries, blueberries and blackberries from the birds, just by her presence in the garden.

8. Mushrooms

I have one that eats the remains of my breakfast when I have eggs. He must have chedder cheese, swiss is maybe OK at times, but it MUST have mushrooms in it. He eats those first and if he has not already eaten his breakfast he will clean about about 1/2 an eggs worth of an omelet.

9. My kitty Jack

loved corn on the cob. He couldn't care less about corn any other way, but corn on the cob got him going. No idea why. My friend's cats liked it too. When she threw the leftovers into the horses' enclosure they were right in there with them.

My brother's crazy dog will go into the garden and eat cucumbers right off the vine if they aren't careful to shut the gate.

11. I am getting a nice laugh from this

and the other posts. We just had a bunch of people shoot from the road towards our house killing a bunch of geese on our pond. They strutted off after shooting about 15 shots right across the road from our house. The sheriff and the game warden were just here, nothing can be done. It looks like they drove by and saw the pond full of geese and parked down the road but came back to shoot them. A bloody, sad mess.

Anyway, I love your story. That is awesome. My barn cats will sit on my horses backs but I have never seen them share food.

10. A canine and he loves

Blueberries, apples, carrots, and strawberries.

13. I have had 3 cats with a passion for corn on the cob.

All 3 were tuxedo cats, which has made me wonder if there is some sort of genetic connection! They all liked to pin the cob down with their paws and chomp on the remains. One of them would hide the corn cobs we gave her in strange places (like under or behind the sofa)!

Another cat loved tomatoes; one summer we thought we had rabbits stealing our tomatoes since we would find tomatoes with big chunks bitten out of them. We caught him going after a few which were warming in the sun on the back porch. He would also drink tomato juice. Somewhere I have a picture of him drinking juice with a stalk of celery standing in it.

We also had one that loved asparagus, green beans and Italian salad dressing. She would devour the veggies and clean a salad plate right up for you.

15. We had a cat that loved avocado. A friend who was a vet tech warned us they might be bad for her.

Same kitty used to meow after her dinner until I said "you are welcome". Loved that kitty, gone many years now.

17. Othello

Likes cantaloupe in tiny pieces and teryaki dried beef. He only likes the teriyaki flavor and it has to be jack links.
And I have to break it up into teeny pieces.

18. My late cat Missy #1 loved her greens

She especially liked her left-over asparagus stalks, bell peppers (cooked), vegetarian lasagna and zucchini!

Missy #1 (I now have Missy #2) lived to be almost 18 years old. I adopted her from a family that had to move and they were living on Ashbury street in San Francisco (it was right across the street from the famous 710 Ashbury, the Grateful Dead home in the 1960's).

She was a grey sort of tabby stripped cat that was about 20 lbs. in her prime. Must've been all those greens she loved to eat!
