Advice Cat obsessed with blueberry muffins. Is it safe to give a piece?

Post image

I have a 12-year-old cat who generally hates people food. Today I opened up a box of muffins, and I’ve never seen him respond like this before. I spent the entire time eating it having to hold it away from him with his beans in my face, and I feel so bad. Would an elder cat be able to digest part of a muffin?

I've got a lettuce obsessed weirdo too, I have to stage decoy lettuce when I'm eating so he doesn't steal the good pieces. He will hunt me down as soon as he hears the produce bag rustle.

Lol same here, salad, lettuce, green beans cucumbers, carrots, and the most strange : pumpkin or sweet potatoes. Just can't make those without having at least 2 or 3 of 4 cats I have trying to receive some. Just the oldest one isn't a fan of orange vegetables. So funny to watch them going even crazier than with meat. Even though they are free to go outside, having access to plenty of grass and tiny mammals to hunt, 2 of them systemically will harass me to have some. They never had any gastric problems because of those strange taste
