My 11 month old kitten is obsessed with Vegetables. He prefers vegetables to any prepared or fresh food.
It all started when I brought him home at 9 weeks from a local shelter. His foster mom was told he was found as a stray at 4 weeks but my vet thinks he may have been even younger. As soon as I brought him home he started stealing kale from my rabbit and his theft grew to include collard greens, spinach, lettuce and arugula. By the time he was 6 months old he had stolen whole cucumber, bell peppers, basil, parsley dill, mint green beans, peas, pea pods, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and I’m sure there is more I have forgotten to mention. He grabs it and runs. Either from grocery bags the counter, and the kitchen table. I know cats are obligate carnivores and usually just eat the vegetation that their pray has eaten and a little grass on occasion so I am worried that something is wrong with him. Does anyone know anythIng about this?
