| The Filipino cat head |
Cats are, as is noted often in this book, carnivores, but an individual cat may have a fondness for some kind of nonmeat food. Many cats are fond of coconut, probably because it contains a lot of fat. (And, coincidentally, the edible part of the coconut is often referred to as the “meat.”)
According to an old tale from the Philippines, cats like coconut meat because the coconut originated from the head of a cat. (But that would make cats into cannibals, wouldn’t it? No one ever said there was any logic to these old tales.)
