As you're out hiking with your cat, a lettuce, and a vacuum cleaner, you come upon a river blocking the path. On the side of the river, there's a boat that's just big enough for you and one other passenger.
The cat can't be left alone with the lettuce.
The vacuum can't be left alone with the cat.
How do you get everyone across?
I take the cat across. Then return. Then I take the vaccum across. I return with the cat. I take the lettuce across. Then return. Pick up the cat, and cross a final time.
While you are picking up the cat, the vaccum eats the lettuce.
Dang, well surely it does that on the first trip and not after I've already spent so much time carefully shuffling everybody across? Right? Right?
Why does every cat have at least one hyperfixation?
Had a farm cat once that was nuts about raw potato and cucumber. No other foodstuff, but any whiff of those and she'd be right there too take them off your hands.
Great mouser, too.
I'm just imagining a cat making mouse stew. Chef hat and everything.
Catatouille
One of my senior cats LOVES lettuce but it has to be fresh and the right cut. It can't be a bum end, and there's some mysterious threshold for freshness. Once he gets it he guards it with his life and chows down; then asks for more.
You might say... he has a (fresh) lettuce fetish. perversely huffs the leaves
Mine can't be left alone with bread.

Your catto has good taste
Grow that cat some greens. Rye, barley, oats, and wheat seeds are cheap to buy and easy to grow.
I grow them (cat grass seed mix) for my cat, but honestly she prefers when I pull her some of the crabgrass weeds that come up in my balcony plant pots.
Same. I grow them nice lush looking cat grass and they still prefer the crabgrass and johnson grass from outside.
I found out one of mine has a thing for flour tortillas one day after I had just bought a fresh 10 pack, left it still sealed on the counter and a few hours later, found she had nom'd her way through the plastic bag and ate a huge chunk out of all 10.
I mean give em a leaf why not
Does the cat love lettuce or plastic wrap?
