No. Your cat gets an honorable mention at best. That some cats
are fond of avocado is Well-Known.

One of my cats eats anything. Melon, avocado, banana, peppers, pasta (cooked
and uncooked), rice, potatoes, peanuts, pecan nuts, sweetcorn, cucumber,
apple, mango, spider plants, lemon grass, sweet pea plants, etc. His
favourite is freshly cooked bread. He really dislikes coffee for some
reason.... he tries to 'bury' any cup of coffee he comes across.

For some reason I felt slightly worried when I read this. My
understanding is that because cats are meat-eaters, and generally not
fruit-eaters, their digestive systems are meant to deal with a
relatively high pH - nothing as acid as juicy fruits. Also cats often
develop kidney problems on the diet we give them, so you really don't
want to be letting them eat anything too salty or dry. Salted peanuts
or dried pasta would not be suitable.

The only instance of the 'burying' behaviour I've ever known is with
my present cats - if cats have once been starved, they always try to
bury food to keep it for later. Niniane used to make such an effort at
digging a hole in the kitchen wall it actually acquired a slight dip!
