I know someone that made a whole window seat area ith alot of these plants in it and found a wide variety the her kitties loved and each one had its own preference to each type of plants...it was great... I think everyone with cats should do this... it will help deter them away from the other household plants if you make a kitty garden... she has a pet bed in the middle and the kitties love it!!!

Don't try to feed your cat like a human. The prepared pet foods are well balanced and easy to digest. In the wild, cats don't eat many vegtables. They would mostly eat carrion or small game.
You are asking for all kinds of health problems feeding the wrong diet to cats. They are sensitve to many things. Even the PH of their urine can cause kidney and bladder problems. Some things are not digestable for cats. Some plant matter is poison to them. It is especially dangerous to put any kind of flavoring on things they refuse to eat. Doing so may cause them to eat something bad for them. It is also not good to give any animal spices.

One of my cats LOVES green peas. Right out of my hand. Maybe it's the butter?
And he loves lima beans. I squish 'em a little first. And you can mash up some in their food - a little canned food, some peas/lima beans/dry food/warm water. Small batches.

The new Fancy Feast Elegant Medley's has meals with garden greens in them. This food is quite a bit more pricey than regular fancy feast.

You can't make a cat eat anything it doesn't want to eat.
If you give your cat veggies and he doesnt' like them, then he'll just let them sit.

Without the protein from meat, cats will get very sick and DIE. They cannot live without meat, so feed them veggies if they like it, but do not stop them from eating meat!

cats are not meant to eat vegetables they need cat food in order that they live and grow properly. they will die unless properlly fed. that is animal abuse to feed animals food that is not supposed to be for them.they cannot thrive on that food

You don't. Cats are carnivores (meat eaters)
