Alexandra Ashe runs a sanctuary for kinkajous in Florida, where she’s on a mission to educate people about why these adorable, raccoon-like creatures don’t make great pets. But she’s not alone in her quest. She’s got a feline sidekick named Regina, who doubles as a fruit connoisseur. Regina’s self-appointed job is to taste-test the fruit intended for the kinkajous. While Alexandra is busy preparing tasty treats for her nocturnal charges, Regina’s quality control ensures that no fruit plate goes untested.

Regina, the runt of the litter with a taste for tropical fruits, has some surprisingly refined tastes for a cat. She’s all about papaya and honeydew, treating them like they’re the feline equivalent of gourmet delicacies. Meanwhile, she’s decidedly less impressed by watermelon, cucumber, dragonfruit, and blueberries. Given that cats are obligate carnivores and usually have zero interest in fruit, Regina’s fruity preferences are nothing short of miraculous. But if this little kitty wants to moonlight as a fruit critic while helping out with the kinkajous’ food prep, who are we to argue?

Ever wonder why you should invest in a cat subscription box? It’s not just because your feline overlord deserves to be showered with toys and treats—though that’s a solid reason. Imagine your cat’s sheer delight as they dive into a box packed with toys, treats, and gizmos designed to keep them entertained while you bask in the glory of being the best cat parent ever. Forget scavenger hunts or treasure chests; with a cat subscription box, every month is a new adventure right in your living room.

And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want to be the hero of their own pet’s daily drama? With a subscription box, you’ll be the coolest cat parent on the block, effortlessly showing off your insider knowledge of the best kitty gear without ever leaving the house. Plus, you get to enjoy the spectacle of your furball going wild over the latest goodies, all while you kick back with a smug grin, knowing you’ve just made your cat’s day (and your own) without even lifting a paw.

Cats need more than just fun—they need mental engagement and physical exercise to stay truly happy and healthy. Regularly introducing new toys can satisfy their natural instincts and keep them from getting bored.

Cats experience the world in ways that are quite different from humans, especially when it comes to taste. Their taste buds are built for hunting, so they’re wired to detect savory, sour, and bitter flavors, but sweet? Not so much. Thanks to a genetic quirk, they can’t taste sugar, which means no cupcake cravings for your feline friend. Their teeth are built for shredding meat to help them navigate a carnivorous lifestyle, with each bite expertly designed for maximum efficiency.

On the dining front, cats are serial snackers, preferring to nibble throughout the day rather than commit to large meals. But if you catch your cat chewing on your shoelaces or eying that houseplant with a little too much enthusiasm, it might be a case of pica—a curious habit of munching on things that aren’t food. Some cats just can’t resist the taste of cardboard, string, or even fabric.

Cats might seem like they're too sophisticated for dessert, but the truth is, they simply can't taste sweetness. While we’re indulging in cakes and candy, our feline friends are stuck wondering what all the fuss is about. Check out this fascinating video that explores why your cat is more into tuna than tiramisu.
