Come to think of it, Siegfried the cat would climb up your leg and tear potato chips from your hand. An otherwise well behaved cat, you couldn’t eat them in front of him.
Conceeded. To a scientist, a cat is a carnivore. To a cat owmer, a cat is an enigma.

So you adopted Armin Meiwes’ cat? :eek:
Our old cat used to go for curried eggs. Then there was the Christmas where my mother was cooking duck or goose. The cat went wild - even going into the oven! So my mother slathered her hands in the bird’s fat and Brylcreamed the cat. It was in heaven and spent hours licking itself clean. But it looked mighty peculiar that evening!
In my experience, the one food that virtually every cat will sell a spare life or two for is venison. Cats seem to adore anything “wild”, which I think it why Quartz’s mom’s cat was so bonkers for goose.
Perhaps smelly foods attract cats like colorful objects get our attention.
Kitt goes bonkers for spaghetti and meatballs, popcorn, and Reese’s Pieces. Bitey loves ham. Rubicante loves catfood, and catfood only.
St. Germain, hereya go! Bitey rather likes it, so I get it now and again.
Sounds like my Maggie. She’s extremely picky when it comes to cat food-won’t touch dry stuff, will only eat certain KINDS of canned food, and then she changes her favorite flavors every week.
But anything I’m eating? She’s all over it. She gets right up in your face, pulls food off of your plate, sticks her head in your dish, you name it. My mother came home once to find that she had chewed a hole in a plastic bag to get at the donuts inside.
:eek:
In addition to fish, cats are also nuts for anything dairy. But you don’t see a cat going after cows in the wild, do you?
I don’t think there is any chocolate in the pieces. The cups for sure, but I’m not sure about the pieces. In any event, he only gets a few bits once in a great while.
Mrs. Plant, renowned dog trainer, says it’s Baker’s Chocolate that is poisonous to dogs. Her dogs get into hers often enough and they are none the worse for it.
I had a cat once who liked salsa. I discovered this after I finished eating a burrito slathered with some very hot salsa. Because I was watching TV at the time I set the plate on the floor, intending to take it to the kitchen during the next commercial. My cat, Mayhem, trotted over and sniffed the plate. I thought, “This oughtta be funny!” Mayhem licked the plate clean and never batted an eye.
I heard a standup comedian talking about cat food once. He described a cat food commercial he’d seen in which the voiceover claimed that the product came in “the flavors your cat naturally craves”. One of the flavors was beef. The comedian said, “Your cat naturally craves beef? When was the last time you saw a housecat out if a field running down a cow?”
If that’s the one I’m thinking of, he added perhaps better flavors might be Mouse, or Sparrow.
Piper Grace likes to eat Cheetos. Sometimes she just licks all the cheese off, sometimes she eats the whole thing.
JoJo loves asparagus - she begs for it and, when she gets a piece, plays with it before eating it. And no, I don’t give it to her with mayonnaise or any other sauce.
She also likes Rice Crispies. When given a bowlful without milk she will put her front paws in and dig, then rest with her paws in the bowl. When given a bowlful with milk she drinks the milk and consumes some of the cereal as well.
She loves cheese, and has a preference for fancy imported cheese over cheap domestic stuff. She really likes parmagiano reggiano and aged gouda, but doesn’t show much interest in domestic cheddar.
Oh, yeah, she also likes fish, especially tuna. She’s less interested in salmon, and she ignores shellfish.
Rather than continuing to hijack this thread with tales of odd foods, I’ve started a thread here on the subject.
You sure it’s not jaguars?
My babies won’t eat people food at all. They will lick up tuna water but they won’t eat the tuna itself. They do the same with canned cat food. However, they do go absolutely insane over spanish olives. They will hiss, claw and bite if they even smell them, although again they don’t actually eat them.
The Neville kitties love gefilte fish. They’re Jewish kitties. ;j
Normally, when I’m eating gefilte fish, I will take off bits for them while I’m still in the kitchen. I deviated from this routine once, when I was finishing up an open jar of gefilte fish before Passover. We’d already cleaned the kitchen, but not the dining room table, so I got the gefilte fish out of the jar there, while sitting at the table. Katya tapped me with her paw, to remind me that I’d forgotten to give them their share (they did get some).
