Meet Remus, a ten-year-old tabby with a strange fondness for fruit.
Carly Cox noticed that her inquisitive cat was exploring through the groceries more than usual when spring arrived this year. It took some time, but Cox ultimately uncovered what had peaked Remus’ interest: a container of strawberries.
Cox told us, “I asked my sister (a veterinarian) if they were OK for him to take.” “She said yes, and he was overjoyed when I handed them over to him!”
Remus used to like playing with his toys and activity tunnel before falling in love with strawberries. Remus, on the other hand, got captivated with the bright red fruit after discovering it.
While strawberries should not be included in a cat’s usual diet owing to their high sugar content, Remus appears to be unaffected.
“Remus primarily snuggles and plays with the strawberries,” Cox added. “Rather of trying to eat them, he rubs his face all over them and tosses them about like toys.”
Strawberry might be a distant relative of catnip, having a comparable psychoactive effect in cats, despite the fact that cats can’t taste sweet and have problems perceiving the color red.
Whatever the explanation for Remus’ fascination with strawberries, and just strawberries, the cat simply cannot get enough of them.
