[Sca-cooks] OT: cats are carnivores

[Laura L]

Most cats seem to like various "squash"

Mine will steal the carved out bits from jack-o-lanterns, ate half of a
butternut squash, and steals zucchini and summer squash from the pan when I
deep fry or stir fry it.

Unfortunately, the raw stuff gives him diarrhea, so I try to keep them out
of reach and save him a dab or two of the cooked. :(
