Now, I have heard of cats eating all sorts of odd things, from spaghetti to lettuce, the non-bitter kind. But this one is a first.

My second youngest cat, Priscilla, goes absolutely bonkers whenever I bring in some freshly picked arugula from our back yard. The bitterer, the better. She will sit at my feet and beg like a dog until I hand her a leaf or two, which she devours.

Odd, huh?
