Cat eats Asparagus!

Well, i tried really hard. I sat on the kitchen floor with the camera and tried to get Mantra to look at me... especially as she went after a pile of 8 or 10 asparagus stalks [i ate the tips] with such gusto!

we didn't know she loved vegetables until she stole al's dinner! i had cooked him some broccoli and carrots and she went up on the counter and started eating it, even though it was up on toaster.

so later, out of curiousity - since i couldn't give it to him, i let her have the bowl of broccoli - which was at least 3/4 cup - she ate it all over about 1/2 hr.
dh thinks it's b/c of the butter spray, but i think that wouldn't keep her eating it for over 1/2 hr!

so last night, she was really acting interested in my asparagus... so for fun, i ate the tip, and gave her a stem, which she ate and wanted more !! i think the butter spray is so minimal that it can't explain the extent to which she's chowing down.
asked the vet [she was just spayed and we had to get stitch out] and she says no problem and it keeps her entertained too...

LOL... i am cooking brussel sprouts and gave her a couple of raw leaves to see her reaction.
nope. will test later after they cook and get butter spray.
