My cat loves lettuce!!! If you leave it on the window sill he eats the ends off the leaves and no one wants to eat it when it has been nibbled by the cat!

I did wonder! My cat used to eat KitKats! Visiting cat saw me making meatballs yday and was desperate for some of the mince. I gave her some and then remembered that it already had a wee bit of spice in it. Cue one very confused looking cat!! She kept having a wee nibble then backing off looking very suspicious!! I did put a wee saucer of milk down for her too.

I can't remember which supermarket but possibly Morrisons or Asda - I bought a 'living lettuce' which came with root. Lasted an eternity!! In the summer I grew my own - the 'cut and come again' variety. I only grew 3 and was 'all lettuced out' the whole summer. I was even making lettuce soup! Recommended especially for us singles.
