What weird things does your cat likes to eat?

[Catshrink]

Ricky here just licked my plate clean -- of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce. That is just weird.

[Zomby Woof]

1. does he eat croutons?

[Catshrink]

18. nah -- sam loves cheese crackers though.

still waiting for that salad?

[Zomby Woof]

62. YOUR SISTER ATE MY SALAD!

[Catshrink]

63. Right. And shrub is smart.

And Cheney is an honest man.
And Rummy is competent.
And Condi is not in love with Jr.
And Babs is a very sweet woman.

[MuseRider]

2. Or what don't they eat.

Why do they eat the heads and feathered parts and the furred parts and leave the same guts on my floor?

[Catshrink]

19. mine just kill -- if they can find something live.

Ricky and Lucy bring in lizards that wander into the Arizona room. Yuk!

[Gothic Sponge]

3. They eat the cotton off Q-Tips!

[Catshrink]

6. Your kitties are beautiful!

What kind are they? Are they littermates?

I have to hide the q-tips and cotton balls or my Sammy will eat them too.

[Carni]

4. Vodka soda and lime

I realize that isn't "eating" but I have two cats that seem to love the aforementioned combo so I have to watch them like a hawk if I have a drink!

[Catshrink]

20. Drunk cats? Love to see it. How strange that would be!

[Carni]

48. Fortunately...

I haven't found them passed out yet lol

I really have to watch them and it's a pain because if anyone wants to drink vodka in my house they pretty much have to carry their drinks around with them!

[Catshrink]

51. So you're telling me your cats are party animals?

[Carni]

53. Apparently they are!

I have three and only two like *the drink* the other one must be a healthy lifestyle type LOL

[madrchsod]

5. i had a cat that loved

chili-one day she eat a whole bowl. she kinda swelled up for a few days but survived...

[Catshrink]

17. hold your nose!!!

did she ever go near chili again?

[latebloomer]

7. Squirrel brains

Kills them, eats just the brain-- it's a delicacy, doncha know?

[Catshrink]

10. My sister's cat Steve used to do that....

she asked the vet about it. He said they all have their favorite part of the prey. Didn't hurt Steve any -- he lived to be over 20. We used to say he ate the brain because he didn't have one and he did so to make up for his own deficit.

[Guy Fawkes]

8. Everything that moves. And everything that doesn't.

Kali, the strangest little kitten on earth, carries around anything from matches, cigarettes, and poker chips to quarters and bugs; for later consumption. We only let her eat the bugs, though...

[Catshrink]

16. I had a cat who put his toys in the food dish. go figure...

and dropped my jewelry in the toilet.

[Guy Fawkes]

22. I don't know about jewelry...

We keep cats out of the bathroom because of possible mischief. Kali *always* leaves toys in her food/water dish.

[Catshrink]

44. guess she wants to feed her friends...

[amerikat]

9. My only kitty is pretty boring when it comes to food

But I once had a cat that went nuts over Cantelope. He looked liked your Ricky. The new kitten is not here in my house yet, but last week I was over my mom's house and he seemed to like red wine.

[Catshrink]

15. my vet's cat likes cantelope, too.

wine? that's kind of interesting. Ricky sniffs my beer bottles but I won't share with him.

[amerikat]

21. I had a cat that liked beer....he was always sticking his tounge in

my bottle. When I put some in a dish he would lick it and then shake his head back and forth and walk away. He like the taste but he didn't like the bubbles.

[Catshrink]

23. I think they like malt flavor. Mine go nuts for Kitty Malt, the hairball

remedy. When I pull it out of the drawer they mob me.

[Kool Kitty]

55. One of mine loves that hairball medicine.

She figured out which drawer it was in and opened the drawer, chewed holes in the tube, and ate the entire contents. I have to keep it in the medicine chest so she can't get it. She likes cantalope and dill pickles, too. And she's a skinny old orange girl.

[ironflange]

57. Cleo, the nitwit black cat, loves that stuff

The other two, though, when they smell it run away as if for their lives.

[amerikat]

58. I used to buy it as "femalt"

[thebaghwan]

11. We have 7 cats and one of them just goes crazy for broccoli

n/t

[Catshrink]

14. That is so strange.... broccoli? With or without cheese sauce?

[amerikat]

12. Ever have a cat that ate tinsel off the christmas tree

I have. Then they poop and it's still attached. It aint a pretty sight.

[Catshrink]

13. I stopped putting it on the tree because of the cats!

Wrigley and Ricky have not one brain cell between them.

[texas1928]

24. Ours eat the carrots and tomato out of salad.

But they are picky about their dressing it has to be ranch.

[Catshrink]

25. I thought broccoli was strange.

So, bleu cheese doesn't work, huh?

[texas1928]

37. nope, i have tried other's and the only one they like is

Ranch

[sasquatch]

26. My Grandpa's cat loves to lick up Prune Juice

:(That has to be one fartin' cat.

[Catshrink]

28. Yuk! cat and dog farts are by far the worst!

[daligirrl]

27. Tut and Pitch eat popcorn. . .

<img src="">

[Catshrink]

29. Those are two very content kitties!

do they like to have their tummies rubbed?

[daligirrl]

31. They are spoiled as hell. . .

Tut is a 20 pounder and Pitch (the brotha) is 14 pounds. They lie around like that all the time waiting to get the tummies rubbed. In addition to popcorn, they looooove peanuts!

[Catshrink]

33. Snackaholics, huh?

My Sam is 25# + and his brother Wrigley is 17#. I'm going on vacation next week and when I get back, the diet starts. They vet told me they are both heading toward diabetes at their weights. I didn't think Wrigs was fat, but then, compared to Sam, even I'm not fat.

[daligirrl]

42. My Vet is all over me. . .

all the time about Tut's weight. But I don't feed them that much. He's a big, neutered orange tabby. And more muscular than fat. Her husband, the other Vet in the practice says don't worry about it. I chalk it up to her being a human fitness freak, herself. By the way, Pitch (the black one) has so far survived a total colectomy for the last three years.

[Catshrink]

45. Sam and Wrigs don't eat that much either.

They're both fixed and lie around all day. When I put them on Iams fat cat food, they ate more and I think they gained weight. Sammy is my love bug! I love using his fat tummy as a pillow.

[daligirrl]

52. Nothing like. . .

sleeping with a fat, purring kitty. *sigh* I'm about to do it right now.

[CO Liberal]

30. Miller Moths

Every year around this time, millions of Miller Moths migrate from Kansas to the mountains of Colorado. When you open the door, a few will fly into your house. And when they do, it's snack time for Della.

[Catshrink]

32. mmmmmm moths...

We have one every now and then -- Ricky loves to chase them. Keeps them active though, right?

[Ouabache]

34. Pecan Pie

:shrug:

[Catshrink]

35. mmmmm pie. Wonder if the molasses attracts them?

All I can say is that you have some smart cats, sinookas. Pecan pie is awesome!

[Amaya]

36. Squirrel

He brought me one the other night. Disgusting! :puke:

[Catshrink]

39. eeeewwwwwwwwwww

:puke:

Was he proud of himself? Did you praise him for being a good boy? And did you take care of the squirrel yourself? And I thought a dead mouse was gross!

[Amaya]

47. That's Bubba!

He was very proud to share the dinner he caught and killed. I buried it (poor little bugger). He's becoming a wildcat or something. Last night he tortured a mouse for hours outside. Goofy cat!

[dmr]

38. Oreo Cookies

I had a cat once who had to have her Oreos. When we came in from grocery shopping she was right there in the kitchen looking for a new bag of Oreos. Just seeing the bag alone drove her into a frenzy.

We'd split a cookie, and she'd lick the cream off, then lick the cookie until there was nothing left.

Years ago I had a cat who loved orange juice. If I had a glass, I'd have to protect it or else I wouldn't get any. She also loved black olives. She'd lead me to the fridge so she could have her fix.

[Catshrink]

41. Oreos? The creme part makes sense,

but the rest of the cookie is kind of strange. OJ seems like it would be too acidic or sweet -- and olives! You've had some very interesting critters, dmr!

[ironflange]

40. mine

Cleo will eat bread, and loves to lick that blue ice rub stuff off our skin. Nicki will eat any kind of crackers, Triscuits, Wheat Thins, Ritz, you name it. She has ripped open boxes of saltines to get at them. Amber has no strange tastes we've found yet, unless you include backyard bugs, the crunchier the better.

A childhood cat was absolutely mad about black olives, pizza, and Vapo-Rub.

[Catshrink]

43. Vapo-rub is so gross. Gotta wonder if he had a screw loose or something!

[ironflange]

50. Nah, he was a really cool cat

But he sure liked to fight. He was white, and sometimes he'd come home in the morning covered in mud and dried blood looking pleased as anything.

[Catshrink]

54. Kitties kicking butt....

my little angel girl got out one night and took on a neighborhood stray. The vet said Ryno's wounds were agressive, meaning that my baby started it. She ended up with an absessed puncture wound that needed surgery and a drain.

Here she is:

[ironflange]

56. My stripey one takes care of business here

The other two are very scaredy, but Nicki has thrashed more than one intruder. Problem is, one of them was in love with her, he even brought dead mice into the yard. Unfortunately, she didn't feel the same way, and she was out on her leash one day, hiding in the raspberries, when he came strolling by. It wasn't pretty. She's a big strong cat, and not scared of nuttin'.

[Catshrink]

59. Nicki looks like one tough cat!

Can't see her taking any crap off anyone or any other critter.

[ironflange]

64. That's her

She and I have a "businesslike" relationship. She never sits on my lap, never purrs for me. She's Mrs. Ironflange's baby. The other two will lie in my lap and purr, but Amber, the youngster, likes to soften me up with the claws first. She's a very small cat, about 5 lbs., but she has feet and claws that should be attached to a Maine Coon or something.

[Catshrink]

65. In my cat family, the smallest has always been boss

think it's because they need to be scrappiest to survive.

[ironflange]

66. Little Amber does push them around a little

She's the only one whose claws I don't clip; she's too wiry and squirmy. The other two know it, too, and will run if she tries to start a boxing match. This puzzles her, she only wants to play.

[Don_G]

46. Buttermilk

I have no idea why but she tries to bury her head in my glass until I leave some in her dish. She dosen't care for regular milk though.

[Catshrink]

49. Kind of like the ranch dressing thing....

dang I love our strange and wonderful creatures!

[saracat]

60. Ham or coldcuts

My girl kitty will come from anywhere for a scrap of ham.She also likes chips and anything expensive or saltylike caviar ,shrimp or smoked salmon and oysters. My male cat, really only likes his dry food but will sometimes ask for ham.Usually,he shuns people food.

[Catshrink]

61. your boy cat has some manners!

Mine have none. When I walk into the house with a Costco chicken, they all go nuts. Then they drive me nuts until I cave.

[saracat]

70. Not Really

He also likes to stick his butt in your face and will crawl into your cereal bowl while you are eating.He just doesn't care for people food as much as she does.Otherwise he is a pig! And he is the one with the weight problem! He eats both their food

[dudeness]

67. my double barrell shotgun..

:)

[Interrobang]

68. Tomato sauce...

Shortly after I first got my boy Nero, I ordered pizza, and he went *nuts*. I figured he was after the pepperoni or the other meat, so I tried giving him a little piece. He sniffed it, licked a little bit, and then walked away. I put down pieces of vegetables. Same response. Finally, I put down a piece of crust, and he licked all the sauce off and walked away happy.

Oh, I should mention that due to my severe milk allergies, my pizza's always cheeseless, so it isn't cheese grease he's after, because there isn't any.

Once I made the mistake of leaving a pizza box with half a pizza left in it where he could get at it. He opened the box, picked all the toppings off the pizza, and licked almost *all* the sauce off... I was so mad, partially at him, partially at myself! He also always wants to lick my plate after I've finished eating pasta with red sauce, too.

Other than that, he doesn't seem to even really like most human food. He'll eat ham gelatin from canned ham, tuna or salmon juice, and my mom says he'll eat cheese, but I don't know anything about that, since I never have any in the house! :)

[neebob]

69. I have one that likes nacho Doritos

Years ago I had a cat that ate Vaseline. I used to put it on my lips, and if I left the lid off the jar she would lick it.

[TX-RAT]

71. Avocados, and Pistachios

[annonymous]

72. My cat Bigboy loves green olives.

You can't leave a salad unattended because he will climb on the table to eat the olives. They're like catnip to him. He also will eat peaches.

[KamaAina]

73. Not my cat, but he loved broccoli

and he weighed over 30 lbs. Picture a much, much larger version of Ricky, a shade or two lighter, eating broccoli.

[TrogL]

74. Pretzels

Never did find out what happened to that cat.

[iconoclastic cat]

75. Any kind of plastic that comes in a thin, sheetlike form

Bags, tampon wrappers, you name it.
He's not terribly bright.

[BlackVelvetElvis]

76. Pixel likes to eat string

This scares me too. Once she got into the dental floss and almost swallowed it. I grabbed the end at the nick of time and pulled out a 3 foot slimy piece of floss.
Mmmm...minty! She also loves pulling strings from her scratcher and from the rugs. I find them later, if you get my drift.
