we've got a 20+ year old tortie that will not allow us to go to bed each night until she's had her snack of powdered-sugar donuts.

Bukky jumped up on the table and ate some rice and beans while I wasn't looking the other night. He looked like he was really enjoying it!

My gay cat loves broccoli, he will tear at the bag to get at it, then plays fetch with it. The truly frightening thing is that he like the taste of our lube.

I have one cat that loves corn and mashed potatos and another that is a carb freak - crackers and french bread are her favorites.

I have one cat that seems to be obssessed with grain products because he will try to break into cereal boxes or steal the bread right off your sandwich, etc. My first cat liked to sample all kinds of strange things when he thought he could get away with it: potato salad, ketchup, pepperoni pizza. My oldest cat, in her younger days, tried to run off with a strawberry.

Kirby eats the petals off my pansies and cyclamen, and loves cookies, cottage cheese, and ice cream. (But she only ever gets a tiny taste of those fattening foods!)

My cat's a carb freak....anything bread/doughy is fair game....dairy products come 2nd, then meat products....she'll also eat dust, anything that falls to the floor enters her domain and is thus fair game...and she makes a 'go' of just about everything she can get her lil' mouth on!

ASH
must have been a disturbed postal worked in another life.
he loves shipping goods. anytime a new package arrives he loves to get inside the box, chew the packing peanuts one at a time, then he moves on to lick and chew the packing tape.

NINA
loves to chew on plants like most cats, but her new joy is licking and chewing plastic bags. Ash used to be this way, but he must have passed it on to his little sister somehow.

in general, the babies dont like any "people food" i never let them have any in the first year. Ash loves to smell each meal, but never takes a bite. Nina will only get into mom's water glass when she thinks no one is looking. lol

Well, I didn't see who ate it, but I did find a piece of poo in the litter box with red string imbedded in it. :O

Ahem. May I refer you to a post my kitty zeHitler made on the Cat Thugz tribe? This basically covers the weirdest (and grossest) thing I've known my cats to eat.

www.tribe.net/tribe/servl...iewThread.vm

Kumo has recently developed a taste for chewing on Barbie doll hands. I have a small collection, and he cannot resist chewing on the plastic hands. Never the feet -- just the hands!

My kitty loves licorice (the real, black kind), Cheez-Its, and Saltines.

My Maine Coon, Rigby, will eat tissue paper of any kind: toilet paper, kleenexes, paper towels, napkins. And the handles off of plastic bags like you get at Walmart. Actually, he'll ingest the whole bag if I don't keep them well put away. He will also try and get at...ahem...women things. Those have to be well policed as well.

The kleenex box in my house is upside down and the toilet paper cannot hang on the roller. It's in a closet. The napkins are in a drawer and he hasn't really bothered the paper towels as he pretty much knows he's not supposed to be on the counter anyway. And I do try very hard to keep those plastic bags out of his reach as well. The people who had this house before me had childproofed a lot of the cabinets, which is a good thing with Rigby around. I had childproofed most of my cabinets in my apartments as well.

Oh, and yes, he's a Maine Coon, which is a large breed of cats. He's long, very. But he only weighs 11 pounds. He's not as interested in cat food, though he does it eat. Just not much.

He's the quirkiest cat I've ever had.

Dried mango slivers; and sauteed asparagus and green peppers sneaked from a plate! :D

Sourkraut!

my kitten Squee seems to really get into biting my lovers and my nipples.
she loves curry, soy milk, and my salads. only if they're mien tho.
Meep is relatively ok with eating just cat food.

Newest things -- snow peas and steamed broccoli.

tinsel, loves the shiny tinsel foil stuff on my toys. Will eat it, throw it up and then try and eat it again, but mom always stops me.

Above anything else my cat loves to eat bugs.

...loved to eat anything I was eating. She insisted
and demanded.

She loved steamed broccoli, roasted garlic, marinara
sauce, and would eat cooked spaghetti off the
plate or in the air if held between the fingertips
for her to slurp. The garlic was great because it
really kept fleas away!

She would pull long apple peels out of the trash
to crunch and suck. She would eat artichoke leaves
just like we do if I held the leaf firmly enough.

Missy loved cantalope. She would eat banana, too,
but it always made her throw up. I would have to
bite grapes in half for her to eat them at all.

She would eat corn right off the cob like a
human - row after row - if you held the cob,
and was known to pull cobs out of the trash
to chew the ends off (and then throw them up
for me to find - ewww). Captain Crunch, oatmeal,
wild game, rice, peas, cooked carrots, cooked
spinach. Jambalaya, crawfish pie, file gumbo.

Swear to dog!

Missy used to come up and sip out of my coffee
when I would sit on the floor to read the paper.
After a few years of these periodic sneak attacks,
I finally dumped out her water and put the
coffee in there for a couple of hours. She never
sipped my coffee again!

Missy died at 11 or so from FiV (not eating weird
food).

Dobson, 4 months, is looking and acting a bit
like Missy - he likes pistachios and almonds.
He slurps down carrot juice like it is the best
thing ever. Not too interested in onions and
attacks basil and mint (evil herbs!). He's
eaten mango, marshmallow and if you give him
a stale baguette end, it keeps him occupied for
hours - killing and eating his wheaty prey.

I fear he is just getting started and he is
routinely interested in trying new things. Like
the tasty bites brand eggplant dish that my
housemate left on the table overnight. *slurp*

Carmine (now about 8-10) has only recently started
eating bits of meat -- he's mostly a catfood cat,
but will eat raw fish and canned tuna for cats.

If he catches a mouse, he'll eat the head first.
CRUNCH!

Both Dobson and Carmine will eat mini blind cords.
I'm not sure why. Boy cat thing?

It seems every cat I've ever had ate at least one weird thing. I currently have a cat that loves Good N Plenty candy......and she and her brother are the pickiest eaters ever. They only like one flavor of one brand of dry cat food. They wont eat any other human food including steak, shrimp, crab, tuna, hamburger, chicken, giblets.....and none of those fancy little cans of cat food either. The brother likes to chew on plastic bags. He loves to put hundreds of little teeth marks in them.....but doesn't really swallow. I had another cat that loved to eat socks. He was Siamese. We had another Siamese cat that loved green olives....with pimento. I use to give him his own martini glass. He would play with it and rub on it for awhile before he would eat it.

I love that cats are different.....and mysterious. No way to ever figure them out.

My cat, Q, eats scotch tape and plastic. He used to eat cords when he was a kitten, but has learned his lesson when I put bitter apple on them. He doesn't like people food at all, even fish or chicken. He prefers fish for cats. (He isn't into chicken much at all.) He hates catnip so much that he insists that my other cat, Boo, does not partake of such a plant.

Boo kitty will not take no for an answer when I have vanilla ice cream. She jumps onto my lap and when I put her back down on the floor, she jumps up again. She likes to eat people food, cat food and plants. She does not like tape or plasitc like Q does.


Blessed Be!!
