Vegetarian Cat?
Dante the rescued tom is a cat which is thought to be the UK's only vegetarian cat - and turns his whiskers up at anything but organic fruit and vegetables.Dante refuses to touch traditional cat food of any kind in favor of "less fattening" home-grown alternatives.
Current favorites include melon, bananas, broccoli, rhubarb, asparagus, aubergine and Brussels sprouts, but he also has a taste for uncooked potatoes
The two-year-old is so insistent on getting his five-a-day that he even raids the fruit bowl if he's feeling peckish.
Experts confirmed Dante's peculiar appetite was "extremely rare".
Maggie Roberts, director of veterinary services at the animal charity Cats Protection, said: "This is extremely rare - I have never before heard of a cat that will not eat meat.

Huge stuffed gorilla flies out of truck
John Bray is looking for the person who lost a massive gorilla on Blatnik Bridge in Duluth, MinnesotaBray says he was driving across the bridge Thursday afternoon when a huge stuffed brown stuffed animal flew off the truck in front of him. Bray says it flew up 50 feet and came down in the middle of the road.
He says he pulled over and traffic stopped. He then shoved it into the back of his sports utility vehicle and brought it to his office. He's a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Bray says it was a funny incident but someone could have been seriously hurt. He says the driver is required by law to have a load tied down, but he or she won't get a ticket.
He says the driver could be a Wisconsin resident because the truck was coming from there.
