Captain Pugwash (love it!) growls and whines whenever he’s disturbed with the broccoli, and at one point he frantically tries to defend his treat when someone gets too close. This is a dangerous video to watch if you are currently at your cat capacity and can’t run out and adopt a kitten or two!

Do your cats have any interest in strange treats? Turbo will turn his nose up at pretty much any meat, but bring out a bag of tortilla chips and he will not leave you alone until he gets one.

Fun Friday: Broccoli Cat

University of Connecticut researchers have associated broccoli with producing helpful proteins that aid damaged cardiac cells and tissue.

The broccoli diet appears to persuade the body to produce a protein called thioredoxin, which protects against cell damage in the heart. Broccoli contains sulforaphane, which is seen as particularly effective in triggering this process.

Don’t overcook or boil your beautiful green veggie though- lightly steamed broccoli helps to retain all of it’s power and benefits. When it is overcooked it loses its protective qualities.
