Anybody ever heard of cats eating compost?

In my boys' short lives so far, they have brought in, presumably having found and enjoyed them:

very small snails
slugs
feathers
clods of dirt
lumps of chalk
a worm
twigs

They gleefully pounce on and eat spiders and moths(crunch, crunch). Flies are too quick, (so far)

The only proper kill so far was a sad little mouse!

Eww! Spider legs hanging out of the sides of their mouths as they chomp. Yuck!
I hate when they do that! Bleaugh! :eek:

(It's probably better than decapitated small animals around the house though!)

My dog really likes compost. Ahh the poor cats might be starving.

I have two cats..the one is very picky about what she eats...i have found she likes hot dogs...but my other cat eats everything including ranch dressing, doritos cheese & cool ranch, blueberry muffins, mash potatos, ice cream, any meat, and she steals any drink i have including pepsi, sweet tea, water and rootbeer.

and of course the normal cat stuff like cat food, flies, and grass.

My aunt's cat was in love with bananas.... You would not try to eat banana if cat was anywhere in the room!

And I thought it wa just my 2 that were slightly loopy! They both love bringing in moths to chase and then eat, and bring in leaves and petals from the garden which they leave on the bed (aah sweet - at least it's not mice!):rotfl:
They both love cheese, ham, tuna, crisps... the oddest is the little girl who will risk falling off the table to sneak up behind my back and eat my porridge!

I wish my silly moggie would learn that he's lactose intolerant so drinking my tea doesn't just burn his tongue - it also makes him puke! :rolleyes: Bleaugh!

He 'll have a go at anything if he thinks it's mine.

I guess he thinks "Well she's eating it so why not?!"

And I really hate it when he freezes to watch something intently in the darkness under a piece of furniture. I always want to stand on chair and squeal!

I think they are hungry cats - mainly because their people commute and they're gone from 7am to 7pm

Then when the people come home they've got children to think of first and then the dog needs walking, dinner needs cooking as well as all the cats needing feeding.

They eat at mine every day and they're all still skinny as anything despite spending their days and nights mostly sleeping on a rooftop or warm patch of patio!
