Update on General Lee, aka the Little Turd. I knew he liked green beans, but 
I figured that was because the first time he tried them, I gave him one that 
was doused in meat juice from the steak I was eating with it. Well, I thought 
I'd have myself a batch of turnip greens, so I made them up- simple 
commercially frozen turnip greens, nuked and with a bit of butter (greens 
need fat to taste right, whether butter or pork fat) and a fair amount of 
balsamic vinegar. Little mooch, was, as usual, hanging out for a hand out, so 
I gave him some. He Liked them! Not only did he eat the bit a gave him, but 
he polished the plate when I was finished. Would have made sense, if I had 
more than a dab of butter, but the strongest flavor in the greens was the 
vinegar.

Cats, particularly General Lee, just ain't right... But then, what do you 
expect of a kitten who gets adopted by (or adopts) a rooster...
