My cat snatched a piece of broccoli off my plate and is now hunched over it, growling.

[rug]

I don't mind him going all feral but I'm embarrassed he's doing it over broccoli.

1. One of my all-time favorite cats had a broccoli jones.

And the amazing thing is, Winston weighed well over 30 pounds! No one would call him a wuss for eating broccoli. :P

[freshwest]

2. My cats always loved broccoli. And potato chips. A little bit won't hurt.

3. My dog loves broccoli.

A long time ago I read that if you are a vegetarian and are trying to feed your dog that way, they love broccoli.

[kentauros]

4. You mean something like this?

I wonder if it's the greens they like, such as when they eat grass? :)

[rug]

6. That;s spooky! It has everything but the growling.

[kentauros]

7. Do a YouTube search on "broccoli" and "kitten"

and you'll get the famous, almost tweeking, kitten going nuts for a floret of broccoli, including the growling! :rofl:

[csziggy]

23. You mean this kitteh?

That's just nuts!

[kentauros]

25. That's the one!

:D Love the spaz-like paw-action, too :rofl:

Here's the companion video for the same kitteh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVdcipZLrms&feature=related

And another broccoli-lovin' cat, though the video-poster says their cat only seems to want it while it's in the bag

5. We had a cat who loved corn (ON the cob, no butter) and asparagus.

Much growling accompanied the nomming.

[freshwest]

14. Yeah, I had one that loved it, too. And vanilla ice cream.

[Aerows]

18. Didn't see this before I posted

My himalayan LOVES corn on the cob.

[Flaxbee]

8. lol! oh lordy, I love cats

:rofl:

I don't think any of ours ever have gone nuts over veggies -- but maybe I'll see if any of them like broccoli - just bought a big Costco bag...

[nolabear]

9. My cat Bunny will take you out over a juicy piece of fruit.

Stone fruit is her favorite but she loves some watermelon and orange too. She'll fight a dog any day for peaches or plums.

[stuntcat]

10. LOLs!!

you made me laff so loud I woke up one of the cats! I'll try to remember to try out broccoli on them.

[pokerfan]

11. Food stolen

is twice as sweet as food earned and ten times as sweet as food handed out.

[applegrove]

12. My little cat attacked fruit for the first year I had her. She didn't like the smell or something.

LOL!

[chollybocker]

13. I had a cat once (Pudding) who went absolutely batshit crazy

...over olives. The regular green ones, with the red pimento stuck into it. He would play with it for days.

15. Is there butter or cheese on it?

If so, it makes sense. If not... ?? I once had a cat who loved corn on the cob, which he would gnaw rather ineffectively (cats don't have the right sort of teeth for corn on the cob) but with great enthusiasm. And another who loved cantaloupe.

One of my current cats gets completely psycho over ham. That's meat, so at least he's true to his carnivore self, but he goes absolutely nuts. I can't eat a ham sandwich in his presence because he'll snatch it right out of my hands and run off, growling.

[Aerows]

19. Apparently corn is common

Mine goes nuts over corn on the cob, too.

[rug]

20. It was in Chinese takeout, General Tso's chicken.

He skipped the chicken to get the broccoli. :wtf:

[Incitatus]

16. You cat has gone vegan.

[rug]

21. Lol, look how proud he looks.

[freshwest]

26. Owww! I love that!

[Aerows]

17. My cat has a corn on the cob fetish.

I made a steak once and she was screaming, practically climbing in the plate. I fed her a bite of the filet mignon, and she turned me down. I gave her a bite of the corn, and she went crazy. I had to give her her own cob.

[freshwest]

27. Something in the way it smelled? No butter?

[struggle4progress]

22. This is why I don't have cats. It's MY broccoli! Mine! All mine!

[Skittles]

24. SCHEDULING RUG'S CAT FOR ASS-KICKING
