Ms Picky is mellowing!

As some of you know, Leia is a picky eater; she has always refused to eat what she considers "people food". So she never enjoyed the treats I've always given my other cats: cheese, tuna, ham, chicken, shrimp..

Well, last year she decided ham was OK, Not just OK, but good. Now, she astounded me last week by eating a few bits of roast chicken with apparent pleasure, and last night she actually ate a little bit of people tuna! I couldn't believe it!

Cheese, all varieties, and shrimp are still no-nos.

Maybe it's her age, she'll be 10 in March. Thought this might amuse you.

Maybe she has realised what she has been missing Eileen....Never known a cat to refuse cheese though...

You'll get no peace now that she's been introduced to treats, Eileen!

I've had seven cats over the ears, eight counting Onyx, and every one of them but the Princess loved cheese ... all kinds, cheddar, port salut, swiss, cream cheese, borsin....

Leia still says "Yuck!". Strange little puss..

None of mine were lactose intolerant, most of them just stopped drinking milk as they grew out of kittenhood. Misty and Patches loved milk till they went to the Bridge at advanced ages. And all adored cheese!

Maybe Leia is losing her taste buds in her senior years

How wonderful for her to enjoy some people treats? Merlin is rather partial to mashed potato!
