Jessie is lovely. How old is she?
Stray? Did you get her from a shelter OR off the street?
6 to 8? Know she is about to OR in early senior age.
Is this your first kitty? I've 5 right now. All are seniors (2 x 17y, 2 x 16y, 1 x 10y).
That is not that odd really. My cat Orion loved lettuce, as does Andromeda and Perseus. Nova loves corn and broccoli and beans. None of my cats ever tried bacon. My first cat ^Hamlet^ LOVED pistachio nuts and would shell them in his mouth and spit out the shells!

It is hard to imagine him that young now (he is an old man). He was dropped by a hawk on the road (how hawks try to stun prey to give to chicks) when he was 3.5 weeks old. I stopped the cat and grabbed him.
This was his first picture, at the vet about 1 hour after I rescued him.
All of my cats are rescue and have stories sort of like Orion's.
Sadly, he has cataracts now and bad arthritis. It is sad watching your fur friends age. But he has had a far longer live than he would have had had I not stopped that day. He made mine far better, and I trust I made his better as well.
He has a lot of age related issues now and the vet does not think he will be with us past this year, and I see it more each day now.
