Dante the vegetarian cat
Heard of a cat grimacing at the sight of fish? Well, two year old Dante is one such and he is now the only vegetarian cat in the UK. Dante was found when he was a starving kitten by Becky Page near Norwich, Britain. Like any normal person she tried to feed him everything that cats like but Dante did not touch the fish or the meat. But one day before she could throw out a plate of vegetables Dante ate the whole serving, licking the plate clean.
Becky tries to put in bits of meat in the vegetables so that Dante stays healthy, but sometimes when he spots them he refuses to eat. Dante’s current favorite foods include melon, bananas, broccoli, rhubarb, asparagus, aubergine and Brussels sprouts. Unlike humans and dogs there are certain nutrients that cats can obtain only from sufficient quantities of meat, which is why experts are extremely baffled at Dante’s preferences. But he seems to be healthy and enjoying his meals filled with fresh fruit and vegetables. He is one cat I would definitely invite for dinner!
