Start Them Young

A few days after our honeymoon, my husband and I moved into our new apartment; we had no furniture, no furry friends. After some days, a yellow cat, appeared on our kitchen door, and meowwed itself into our lives, so we had no choice but to adopt it.

To our surprise, Garfield (that's the name we gave her) refuses to eat veggies which is what we usually eat. We also eat fish, but after dinner all that Garfield gets are bones and fish heads (my Western readers, I don't mean to grouse you out). All efforts to change her into a veggie-eating feline failed.

Finally, she has a kitten that survived the first 3 critical weeks (she lost her 3 previous kittens)...Once we got some veggies mixed with the fish, what Garfield refused to eat, Kuting (the name we gave the kitten) ate.

Since then, Kuting has been eating leafy veggies. Start them young, I say. Just this morning, to our great delight, she ate onions and garlic. Bright kitten, she knows anti-oxidants are good for her! Wish more of us humans are as wise as our little kitten.
