Boiled Veggies

I had a cat named Angel Puff, she was very puffy, and of course she had an angel face. I found out one day when my mom made Brussels sprouts that I could just slip them under the table to Puff (we didn’t have a dog).

Even though she would refuse some cat food after her older brother disagreed with it, she would eat anything! Her sneaky little ways would sometimes allow her to steal some food from an unattended dish, or right off the counter.

She ate carrots, green beans, peas, corn, that frozen veggie mix you get with all three, the tops of broccoli and even cauliflower. She would also eat a lot of potatoes, but my dad would make them buttery, and the french-fries usually had salt so most other cats probably would eat them too. She would eat bread.

At first we thought it was bread that had butter on it, but it turned out she even ate it plane. She was very small, only weighed about seven pounds, most of that weight being her puffiness. I love her and I miss her. Now when my mom cooks vegetables, I have to eat them all :(
