I cook for my cats and they love all the veggies. Some of them are butternut squash, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, corn and green beans.

I still think that article is bunk. Gandalf doesn beg for much but sweets...he's a sweet hound. I have to watch him carefully to make sure he doesn't sneak off with anything bad for him. Samwise's only sweet thing he loves is pepermint candy but he loves it a lot. My cousin's cats are the same way and she four inside and I believe at last count five outside.Originally Posted by evnshawn
Otherwise, none of our current cats seem to care for veggies. The oldest, Ace, and the smallest kitten, Smidge (also known as Little Miss), have a sweet tooth, though. Despite that article that came out a while back explaining why cats don't like sweets.
Anyway for vegies, Gandalf loves cooked potatoes and will eat the leaves off any plant I have in the house. He also likes lettuce ok. Samwise is more a meat guy though.
As far as cats not liking sweets - Jamie will devour cake and cookies, so I think the article is bunk, too.
I haven't read the article, but I wonder if its the taste or the texture that the cats like. When my ex and I had birds, they were picky about certian veggies, but my vet told me they had very little taste because their taste buds were very deep in their tounges, allowing them to eat very hot food (peppers). I wondered why they liked some foods over others. My vet said it was probably the texture they liked/disliked.
Boomer and Scully will eat pretty much anything (Scully has to be locked up if we have roast potatoes or spinach) but they will try to eat carots, corn, peas - pretty much anything if they are allowed.
A cat I had when I was a kid, Lancelot (RIP Lance), LOVED canned peas. He didn't want anything else out of a can, but if we were having peas, he would beg for them.
Serenity loves Italian Style Green Beans!
Its all about the smell. Errrr, probably.
Freshly picked green beans from the garden. Not cooked. Gotta be raw. The bigger and curlier the better. Not as much to eat, but they both go absolutely bonkers with them. Much better than a ping pong ball, or any other cat toy with the possible exception of the little plastic furry mice. We only give them one at a time. There has got to be some kind of hipnotic small green beans give off. I swear it is just like catnip to them.
After a while, dust included, they'll knaw on it and eat it.
And for some reason, one likes cantelope. You cut a small piece into a pointy pyramid and place it facing up in on a small plate. No rind though, just the fruit.

Mabby LOVES tomatos...though i never let her have them, because I am pretty sure they are bad for cats...However a few times i have seen her lick tomato based things, and one time she tried to drag a tomato off Johns plate....
Doofus on the other hand likes Potatos
