I wonder if that's how the rodentary "rats" got their name originally! My "owner" is Punkin, the sweetest little kitty you ever did see! And odd enough to suit me perfectly! This cat's a vegetarian (but not a Vegan, she'll eat fish & cream!) Her favourite foods are, in the order I discovered such: brussels sprouts corn asparagus Pounce fresh leaf lettuce from the garden The lettuce is funny -- any time I come back in with a bowl of it that I went out & cut,, as soon as I come in the apartment door, even before she sees the lettuce, she's miaowing away like most OTHER cats do for the can opener! And she won't stop making a fuss until I put a leaf or two into her food dish! (which she'll scarf down the way most OTHER cats go through a hunk of raw meat!) But Punkin doesn't eat meat!
