If cats can't taste sweets then why does Popsie go nuts for the white cream in long john donuts?
Do your cats freak for sweets?

Spunky has a sweet tooth. We have to put the donuts in the oven or microwave overnight. LoL He esp loves powdered ones.

Molly loves ice cream.

I have the same question. Snickers loves sweet things. She loves to drink the milk left over when I eat cereal. If I have cereal that sweetens the milk she drinks it but if it is something like plain Cheerios or a non-sweet cereal she will not touch the milk.
So no matter what others say about cats not liking sweet, Snickers has proven that wrong. I guess she is just trying to live up to her name.

Arwen will lick round empty pots of fruit or chocolate flavoured yoghurt, fresh cream from cakes and even jam!

Well, Khan will only eat meat, but he sure is a meat beggar.

Bagheera doesn't beg or steal food.

Noel used to not be bad about it, but will now lick cheese and different things off of my plate, but not particularly sweets.

Joyeux doens't really pay attention.

Pog doens't really pay attention.

The new kittens... one is a sweet monger.. she drinks my sister's tea... actually now that I think about it, one goes for coffee and one goes for tea (or Raspberry Izzy)...

If I remember later, I'll link the picture I've got of her with her whole head in the glass and her little paw pulling it toward her, the little fiend.

I have to keep the coffee put up when I'm drinking it (can't leave it unattended) because it's got aspartame in it.

Oh, that does remind me that Pog has a tape fetish. He will eat tape. He will fastidiously work at anything that has tape on it until he pulls it off. (he also likes salt)

None of the current crew are into human treats, really. But our RB boy Gryphon went totally bananas for angel food cake -- no other sweet, just angel food cake, and for that he was uncharacteristically obnoxious.
