Hi! My kitten is 7 months old, and generally all he gets is wet and dry kitten food. He is quite a moocher though, and sits at us when we eat. We don't encourage this! Is there anything we eat that is suitable for him?
that used to be my house now it is a no no due to allergiesOriginally Posted by Yosemite
We generally share whatever meat we are having.In fact I am required, when setting the table for dinner, to ensure there is a small plate for the kitties. Hubby cuts up some meat fairly fine and puts it down beside him for Mika and Bijou.
just a note ... if you cats like hot stuff they should be feed hot meat s like lamb ..Originally Posted by Python
Many years ago I had a Siamese cat who loved curry - the hotter the better. She was so keen on it whenever we made curry we had to put her in the other room as she would try and jump on the plate. She did succeed one time, it went all over the floor and there was May Li quite happily tucking in, enjoying every mouthful of my dinner. She also liked ham with English mustard on it (quite hot) and would appear from nowhere and knock the sandwich out of your hand to get at the mustard-covered ham. I have cats that love cheese. They all mooch at mealtimes or when we're cooking but they don't get too many treats. With 10 cats there'd be nothing left for us!
OMG - this is the first time I have heard of another cat liking hot curry. I had my soul-mate cat (Susie my Siamese) some years ago and she also loved curry - the hotter the better. When I was pregnant spicey food was wonderful for me but if I ate bland food I got heartburn - go figure. Anyway one night when our daughter was about 8-9 months old, I made chicken curry for dinner. I got sort of carried away and made it so spicey my hubby could not eat it. Our daughter (who at that time was not old enough to walk yet) was in her little walker. I gave her a little drumstick which she loved and ate with gusto and my Siamese was going crazy. I gave the cat some and she devoured it and came back for more.Originally Posted by Python

I read this thread to mean giving them a little bit occasionally, not as a steady diet.Originally Posted by bemyonlyone
I've had cats eat all sorts of not so good things--ice cream, cake, chips, cheese. Cats really shouldn't eat those things too much, though they may act interested.
Mika is a little pig for anything with cheese! Even though she has no real voice, she certainly lets you know she wants some.Originally Posted by sazza
Thanks for all the replies guys. Gave Gillan some grated cheese last night and he gobbled it up!
He also got a little bit of chicken a couple of days ago and love it!
This conjures up quite a mental image. I'd love to see that in a painting.Originally Posted by Python
When we cook roast chicken in the oven, we don't really need to use the timer because just before cooking time ends, our cats suddenly appear and sit in a semi-circle round the cooker staring at the oven. They seem to know when it's cooked.
