Trent is pretty picky, but I found out the other day that he likes canalope, and he does like mashed potatoes but they don't like him. VERY stinky kitty and litterbox after the one time he ate the potatoes!

We call Ophelia our little piggy. :laughing2 She especially likes ranch dressing, most kinds of gravy (but nothing to do with beef), alfredo sauce (she yells at me if I save leftovers and don't let he lick the plate!), braunschweiger, and asperagus.

Bugs has this weird thing for caramel pudding. He can be dead asleep and if I pop the top of a store bought pudding cup or take a homemade one out of the fridge, he snaps to instant attention.

Weird thing is... if I take chocolate out, he's not the least bit interested... must be a distinctive smell.

Mr. Fitz loves Mandarin Oranges and Deer Jerky, he also likes to lick out the inside of my yogurt cup when I'm done.

Someone once told me that cats can't taste sweet foods. But nobody told Snowball about this, if we eat anything sweet in front of him, he is beside himself with excitement
wanting a taste of our food. He usually ends up being removed from the room instead.

I haven't given Jedi anything but his kitten food and some Pounce treats. But he LOVES his Pounce Chicken flavored treats! I tried the shrimp and also the tuna flavor but he likes the chicken better so that's all I buy now.

Lorie - no one told my kitties that either! They love ice cream (vanilla only, obviously), whipped cream, and frosting. Of course, they only get a couple finger dabs of these things, but that doesn't stop them from asking for more!!

Boo will eat practically EVERYTHING, while Socks will hardly eat anything. We call Boo the garbage disposal kitty. :LOL: Her absolute favorite is yogurt. She can sense when we open one up and she will come running in from wherever she is and she jumps on my lap and rubs her head all over my arms and the yogurt container. She will purr loudly in my ear and try to get a lick until I finally give in and give her a spoonful.
She also loves chicken, pork chops, ham and anything to do with meat! :laughing: Socks will shrink back and sometimes run away when we offer him food for some reason. Its really weird.

FROSTING!!!! (but not chocolate of course)

Everytime I bake a cake, Merlin sits patiently waiting for me to stick my finger in the container (AFTER I have frosted the cake of course!
) and I let him lick the frosting off my finger. he just loves it!!! He also likes popcorn, although he actually enjoys batting it around on the floor for awhile first! :laughing:

He LOVES hamburger, and ham amd chicken. And is also very fond of my mother-in-laws homemade noodles!!


Oh and Cheetos!!! ALL my cats (and the dogs) love Cheetos!!!

It isn't my cats, but my friend had two cats who LOVED green olives! Bitten liked to play with his for a good while before eating it - they make very good kitty hockey-pucks on a linoleum floor! Dice was a hog, though, and as chop his olive as soon as he got it. Many times we would play kitty goalie to make sure Dice didn't steal Bitten's olive.

I know it's gross but Milo loves to eat those little lizard skink things that he captures and brings in from the garden. Although, more than once, he has let the skink go free and I'll be sitting on the loo, only to see this 'stick' move and run off. Thank god I was actually on the loo at the time! :LOL: :LOL:

Spike generally does not get people food at all. He does get a biteful of tuna when I make a sandwich, which he *loves*. He's such a patient little guy though. He waits while I open the can, and drain it, and empty it into a bowl.. then rinse it, and take it to the recycling bin... just looking and waiting, but he never tries to get it until it's given to him... he does meow now and then to remind me not to forget him though.


He also enjoys the drop of milk I give him on rare occasions.. go figure.


He also *loves* carpet fuzzies... I know it's not food, but he adores them. When he finds one, and he sees that I'm watching him, he sits on top of it so I can't remove it from his possession. :tounge2: He also licks plastic bags... I have to keep them put away. Weird little guy.

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Both kitties love any kind of "people" meat, though Chicken is the favorite above all, including tuna. Sheldon loves any kind of milk product: yogurt, cheese, butter, mayonnaise, etc. I don't find that weird. What I find weird is that Lazlo doesn't!

Shelly must ALWAYS stick his nose into whatever we're drinking. He loves green tea. He hates fizzy drinks - but always sticks his nose in anyway!


Lazlo loves lettuce and small bits of apple.

They both go nuts for grass, which we grow for them.

:tounge2:
