And left a look-alike in her place? As many of you know, Leia won't eat cheese, never has in her 11 years with me. Well, someone had three different kinds of cheese in two days!

Saturday at lunch I offered her a bit of Port Salut, expecting the usual refusal ... she ate 3 pieces. Then in the evening I was fixing my snack of cheddar on wheat thins and she ate 3 small pieces. And yesterday at lunch I gave her some Boursin and she ate that too! :shock:

Where is my Leia???!!! :mrgreen:

Sometimes our taste in foods does change and i guess Cats are the same, Tom enjoys cheese but Jerry doesn't care for it.

Every cat I've ever lived with adored cheese; not Leia. So I was really astounded that she's decided after all these years that it's good! But pleased that I can share with her now. :)

She had a little bit of Port Salut again today at lunch!

Lol - just shows there is no way we ever know them completely.

Guess that's why they are 'themselves'.

Leia is perhaps becoming more adventurous with her eating - and realised that human food can be delicious. Was there much licking and grooming afterwards?

I did read somewhere that cat's perception of taste is quite poor which is why we often have to tempt a poorly cat to eat with strong smelling food. I am guessing also that their taste changes with age, as does ours.

Not any more licking/grooming than usual. She's a clean tidy cat, but not an obsessive washer like dear Patches, who would groom for ages, and as she would NOT take Petromalt, was my furball queen!!!
