A couple years ago, I featured a fluffy feline named Cooper<\/a> who loved watermelon. Turns out, Cooper isn\u2019t the only cat with good taste in snacks. The cat below starts his meal where most of us would \u2013 at the top of the watermelon wedge \u2013 but soon turns his attention to the rind.<\/p>\n

Like we\u2019ve discussed before<\/a>, that\u2019s actually a smart move, because the watermelon\u2019s rind contains a higher concentration of nutrients like fiber, potassium and citrulline than the red fleshy part of the watermelon. The main reason for this perk is because the rind has less water and is more dense. And yes, it\u2019s not as sweet, but if you\u2019re a hungry, orange cat, that\u2019s not a big deal.<\/p>\n
