My cat Sparkles will scarf up my used soft foam earplugs. She inevitably throws them up a couple of days later, so I’ve learned long ago to keep them out of her reach. Sometimes though, one will accidentally go missing…and i know it will show up later in cat puke.
Ace really likes oatmeal scotchies. You know, oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips in them. He also really really wants the fish food, but I won’t give him any. But he doesn’t like tuna.
Dear departed Speedy, a cat I had during my teenage years, liked cream of mushroom soup (not too weird), nacho cheese Doritos, and canned green beans.
I haven’t had Pepsi and Skittles long enough to figure out their weird eating habits.
I forgot to mention that Shadow also likes to eat corn cobs. Corn he doesn’t like, but he will turn the garbage pail over to get the cobs out.
My departed kitten Ruby had a thing for raw broccoli. She would sneak up and steal a piece, then carry it away. If any of the other cats tried to get at it, she’d growl as if she had a trout in her mouth or something. Weird.
So maybe cats are omnivorous after all? Seems like a lot of cats enjoy eating vegetables and fruit.
Sir Galahad loves anything with tomato sauce, as long as it’s not too spicy. He adores scrambled eggs, especially if they’re scrambled with a bit of cheese. If I have loaf of fresh bakery bread out on the countertop, he will eat right through the plastic bag and shred the top crust, but not touch the rest of the loaf.
He is obsessed with cream cheese, but more than anything he LOOOOVES Ben & Jerry’s. I don’t buy it often, but when I do, I let him lick out the container when it’s empty. The trouble is that his head is too fat, so he gets stuck, and then he can’t figure out why if he walks backwards, the thing is still stuck on his head. Then he panics and bolts around the livingroom, backwards, at about 500 mph.
All I have to do to get Manfred to come a-runnin’ (besides whistle, he is most doglike sometimes) is dig my finger in my ear and crook it at him. Damn fool is kerrazy about ear wax. Not interested in boogers. Likes ball sweat. Go figure.

My current two cats will only eat catfood, dry, nothing else! not even wet cat food or canned tuna or anything.
My cat Barney that I had while growing up loved pineapple and peas - but only fresh, he’d turn his nose up at canned pineapple! He’d also eat all the peas from the lowest peapods in the garden, it wouldn’t be unusually to have pea pods with only two peas left in them! Again wouldn’t touch canned, frozen or cooked peas!
My late cat, Scoo, used to go nuts for raw tomato.
Whenever I was grilling them for breakfast she would paw at my legs howling as if she was being neutered with a rusty fork until she got her raw toms.
She also used to scoff yoghurt as if it was going out of fashion,and vanilla ice cream.
Catman used to eat raisins, but he’s lost the taste for them. Now, he’s fairly normal in that he begs for whatever kind of meat I happen to be eating.
My other cat, Mitty, recently ate a straight pin. It was bizarre. She had it in her mouth, I saw her, grabbed her, tried to retrieve it, and she ate it as fast as she could! Like it was made of salmon!! Since then, we keep all little sharp things well out of her reach.
Also, don’t worry. She received medical attention. $200 dollars later, she passed the pin naturally without incident. I could have killed her.
Azrael will dig q-tips out of the trash and chew them. This is not good. My husband uses a lot of q-tips, so when we’re not watching her she’ll go into the bathroom and drag out hundreds of the little things. Only the used ones, not the clean. She’ll shred them and leave them around the house.
