In the year 2015, a new viral quickly set. People wondered what would happen if a cucumber was placed behind a cat.
Some felines were unconcerned about the vegetable encroachment, but when they spotted it, they sprang far into the air. Back in the day, videos of similar encounters went popular all over the internet as people attempted to figure out how their own dogs would react to seeing the bright-green vegetable.
Cats, on the other hand, appear to tolerate and even like the same veggie in some situations. One such example was discovered in Finland, when a cat named Mauri developed a particular attachment with a grocery-store cucumber brought home by his owner Heli.
Bored Panda reached out to Heli, Mauri’s owner to find out a little bit more.
“Ever since Mauri was a kitten he has always been very curious about any food I am preparing and usually he gets a taste of some cheese or meats. My usual sandwich has cucumber slices on top of it so eventually, he would be curious about that too and since I know cucumber is safe for cats to consume so I would give him a little bit of it every now and then. I think he likes how crunchy it is, because sometimes Mauri likes to crunch on iceberg lettuce too, but obviously not as much as he loves cucumbers.”
