The Cat who loved Canteloupe

My cat loves cantaloupe and watermelon. I once heard of a horse who liked to eat hamburgers. Does your pet have a favorite human food treat?

    Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your business partners, who are, by far, the cutest! Its amazing how individual and unique cats are. First time cat owners that I know are very surprised at how unique and individual each cat's personality is. I enjoyed reading your lens.

    We once had a cat who loved bananas and she also liked to nip off green beans in the garden. She was a bit neurotic, but a great mouser.
