Iberis
Although all members of the feline family are true carnivores, biologists do commonly observe the Margay (Leopardus wiedi), a small cat native to South America, to include fruit in it's diet.

Our domestic feline friends, too, sometimes crave fruit. The reason for such cravings is not well understood, as fruit has little food value to the cat. Cats lack the necessary digestive enzymes needed to break down cellulose in order to unlock the plant's nutrients. Although it is said that cats do not have a "sweet tooth", perhaps they do, on occasions, crave the fructose found in fruit, since their usual all prey diet is devoid of sugars.

When including fruit into the cat's diet, we highly recommend not to combine it with meat - as this may lead to indigestion - but to feed it as treat.
Fruit which our cats find the most palatable include: cantaloupe, honey dew, nectarines, blueberries, and occasionally strawberries and bananas.
