Lettuce?! That is weird!
Maia tends to stick to her food, could care less about scraps but she does love to lick any bowl or plate, some more then others. I was shocked when she was licking up after tomato sauce

I can't keep ranch dressing on a plate or Tails will be all over me.

Jake likes lettuce too, he really goes crazy for it but I've never actually allowed him to try it because I haven't read that it's safe anywhere....
He also loves bananas more than anything, that and beef jerky are the only human food he will actually eat.

Squash - things from the squash family. I discovered a few months ago that he loves pureed pumpkin! Something about the smell had him sitting begging at the counter when I was putting it in some recipe. He never does that....has no desire for people food!

So, I put a little on a teaspoon and he went crazy for it, licking the spoon clean. Then last week, I fixed some Kabocha squash - (dryish winter squash) and he did the same thing, so I took a little bit and gave it to him and he ate it like I was giving him a treat, and wanted more!

Weird.

Pumpkin in small amounts is actually good for cats. It gives them a boost of fiber that helps with hairballs. Mine aren't much for people food so they don't have any strange likes just the usual. Tuna, yogurt, and a little tiny bit of ice cream as long as there's no chocolate. I rarely buy ice cream to keep at home and I now avoid chocolate so they can have a little.

Tiger will come running from where ever he is in the house when he hears me crack open a yogurt. He LOVES yogurt. I only give him a little lick.....its so funny because I swear he is at my feet before I finish peeling off the cover.

Genever loves peanuts, I think that's the oddest people food she likes. Well really, whenever we are eating or snacking on the sofa, she'll jump up to check out whatever we have. She seemed really interested in the peanuts one time, so I gave her one, thinking she'd sniff it and turn away, but she ate it! So if we have peanuts, we let her have one too.

My Jazzy loves when I squeeze the juices from fresh cherries and oranges. She also likes bananas.

Cindy loves Baked Lays (Ruffles style). She will actually come running when she hears the bag and beg for some. One day DH dropped a bag on the floor that just had crumbs and next thing he knew there she was inside the bag. This is from a little fuss budget who won't eat half the things I put down for her -- I call her my little junk food junkie (No, she doesn't get chips most of the time, but I can't tell you what DH does when I'm not around).

used to love anything with tomatoes in it.

Gabriel like chips: he also has a sweet tooth. Samurai likes chips, too.

I once had a cat who liked bananas (I don't recall which one).

Foxy
used to just love M&Ms: this was before I knew chocolate could be toxic to cats.
I quit letting him have them when I found out - no matter how much he begged me!


Geronimo goes crazy over cashews & peanuts - which surprises me because if I put peanut butter in front of his nose he'll run off.
Maverick used to hate the smell of peanut butter too, and would crinkle up his nose & gag if I tried sticking it under his nose.

Kuan Yin will maul me if a can of spaghetti-os is opened. She's done this since kittenhood before she even had a chance to taste them. She is from a large feral community and her guessed bio dad apparently digs them out of the dumpster or the lunch room from the people who work at the mill where they live..apparently it's genetic
