what does your cat like to eat

  • PLEEEEEEEEASE tell me you haven't tested that hypothesis!
    My lovely little cat Tabatha (RIP) loved a bit of earwax ...

    Boy Cat likes anything that either a) comes out of the fridge or b) has been left on a plate out of animal way, whilst Girl Cat likes whatever Boy Cat likes. She seems unable to form her own opinions on anything. Although she really hates Weight Watchers sausages (which is fine; all the more for me.)

    :D
    Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. So it goes.
  • Big Bad Tabby Sam could be relied upon to help himself to any savoury snacks and nibbles sitting conveniently in bowls on the coffee table. He liked Japanese Rice crackers but adored KP prawn cocktail flavour Skips and Cheese Quavers. But the look on his face was priceless as he crunched into a Skip - which would dissolve to nothing in his puzzled mouth - 'where's it gone??!!!!'

    I have seven cats, most of them like crisps (cheese and onion) and they all like cheese.
    Two of them love chocolate and one of them loves spicy food, the hotter the better.
    One of them loves white sliced bread and will snag the sliced pan out of the cupboard if it's left open, claw open the plastic, and tuck in.
    All of them love butter, and as it's kept in the same cupboard as the bread, I go nuts if that cupboard is left open, because we end up with no bread or butter.
    One of them loves dry roasted peanuts - initially I thought it was just for the salty taste, but no, nut and all disappears.

    We also have a dog, an 11 year old westie, who jumps onto the coffee table and helps herself to an apple every week or so, and she can smell a malteser a mile away.

    Chocolate is toxic to cats and so are onions and garlic, which are often found in spicy foods! I know they can nick things but please keep dangerous foods out of reach.

    Also dairy can be difficult for them to digest and cause stomach upsets.

    Oops, I should have said - we don't feed the cats these foods, these are foods the cats like to eat, as per the thread title :o. .

    Happy new year everyone, i'm off to be quietly sick in the corner thinking of gravy covered earwax. (Candles a la Father Jack, anyone:beer:)
    I'm an adult and I can eat whatever I want whenever I want and I wish someone would take this power from me.

    That's why I said I know they like to nick them, just though it was important you know the risks.

    Happy new year.
