Cat’s Lettuce Lunge Goes Viral
A video of an orange cat named Cedric eagerly devouring a romaine lettuce leaf has amassed more than 23 million views and 2.5 million likes. The clip shows Cedric stretching from his dad’s arms, batting the leaf, and then holding it with both paws while his mom keeps the other end. He chews enthusiastically, even after the mom releases the leaf, and continues to finish the remaining piece. The video has sparked comments ranging from amusement to playful comparisons.
Cats are obligate carnivores, so lettuce is not a substitute for the animal-based nutrients they need. A small amount of plain lettuce may be safe for many cats, but it should not become a major part of their diet.
Key takeaways
- Cedric’s lettuce-eating video has over 23 million views and 2.5 million likes.
- The cat’s enthusiastic chewing is captured while his owner holds the leaf.
- Lettuce is not a nutritional replacement for cats.
- Small amounts of plain lettuce may be safe, but should not dominate a cat’s diet.
