Our cat Kaja will eat tangerine.

[livejournal.com profile] cattitude was eating one, and offered the cats a chance to sniff a segment. Molly did her "what is this thing? That's not food" bit, which she does with most of what we eat (sometimes including something, such as chicken, that she has accepted the day before), but Kaja sniffed it all over and looked interested. So I took a tiny bit of tangerine pulp, and she sniffed at it, and ate it—and then accepted another bit from Cattitude.

OK, this isn't [livejournal.com profile] julian_tiger's "this is the best thing in the world! More!" reaction, but that makes two cats out of five that we've had in our time together, and before Julian made himself clear on the subject we didn't offer tangerines to our cats because everyone knows cats dislike citrus.

(Kaja, like Molly, is prone to turn down even poultry and salmon, which she sometimes likes, depending on mood or something; she doesn't have Julian's omnivorous enthusiasm.)
