What other foods, not cat food, do your cats like to eat?

I'm a bad mom and don't give them much of an opportunity for anything other than cat food. But with that said, they all love to help me eat the roast turkey at Thanksgiving (they all get their own plate), and Stumpy, Scarlett, Muddy and Koko love Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers. I put the tail end in my mouth and make them take it from me (I make them work for it and I get a little kitty kiss in the process - I'll post a pic someday). Well, OK, a lot of them like Rice Krispies (raw no milk) - found that out when I left the box out one day.

My Hippocrates liked cantelope juice and the salt from pumpkin seeds. Miss Hyper loved spaghetti (sauce and noodles).

Add Ivo to the list of lettuce lovin' cats. I've tried good cold cuts (london broil roast beef, buffalo chicken breast) and home-cooked meats (pot roast, pork roast and chicken). Nope, Ivo likes lettuce and lettuce alone!

My cats eat basically anything!

Yogi loves choc cake.

and they all love chicken the best

Lettuce is a fave around here as well

My girl Stevie loves any tuna of course, that's a given!! She never meows, but when she smells the tuna, I can't shut her up, but she begs for food like a dog! I think it's because she's from the streets and thinks she still has to scrounge for food. Berk, my male, was nicknamed Frito because of his love for fritos. He also used to beg for the tomatoes off of my beef meximelt from Taco Bell. :kitty5:

Mynx likes the greens from carrots...

Sam you do know that chocolate is toxic to cats don't you? I do hope you do not feed any of your pets chocolate, as it will endanger dogs and cats, and can even kill them depending on what type of chocolate it is.

Mary Anne- Yup of course I know that!

Cheese and tuna (though neither is suppose to have the tuna) is popular here too.

Sphinx likes pork rinds, turkey and chicken (freshly cooked) and potato chips.

Kuce likes margarine, milk (though she isn't suppose to have it), pineapple/coconut fruit juice and pork rinds.

Zero eats potato skins.

My kitties looooooove the water from tuna poured on their food. They also love cheese, and yogurt. I've caught Onyx licking out yogurt containers if the kids leave them on the table

Oh yes, the tuna. All I have to do is get a can out. They here the sound of the can as I set it on the counter top and then next thing I know, I have an audience of cats looking at me

A long time ago I had two vegetarian cats that had been raised by a friend, and as I was minding them on long-term loan I didn't want to change their diet. They used to eat porridge, and enjoyed it so much that they would sit underneath my twin daughters in their high chairs and eat any bits that fell to the plastic sheet on the floor below. Of course, it didnt take the girls long to enliven their breakfast by dropping the odd spoonful over "accidentally on purpose"
and then experimenting with lunch and dinner too.... We found that if it fell from the babies, the cats would eat just about anything but particularly liked mashed pumpkin potato and spinach, all mixed together and flavoured with melted butter and brewers yeast....
Apart from her own diet, our mother cat Molly likes to eat "toast bones" the crunchy crusts - but only if they have come directly from the plate of one of "the big cats" and are still fresh and warm, and preferably buttery. She doesn't mind a bit of Vegemite either... which is an acquired taste.
BTW, Amber the Bobcat has knocked me out with her beautiful appearance - she and I presume her relatives - and I wonder how big a bobcat grows? Where do they come from? Are they native to your area or something?

Welcome Felicity! I have one friend whose family resides in your area.

Mine has been well taught not to eat off our plates or anything else. He sometimes rarely though lick icecream if he wants or pudding but he scurries his belly in when he hears a can opening, thinking it's tuna, which sometimes it is, I'll give him a smidgen of it, enough to wet his palate. Most of the time though, he just wants to sniff whatever we are eating, even my son's food, then he'll lick his lips and walk away. Well trained cat

both of my cats like ham especially patches

The question should be: What does you cat NOT like to eat? for me!! Mittens hasn't turned down anything. But his favorite...Ice cream (vanilla)!

Felicity, that sure is a menu that those cats eat. I have always wondered, what exactly is Vegemite
As for Amber, she will grow to around 30 to 40 pounds, with males averaging about 10 pounds more. Bobcats have a range that extends throughout North America from southern Canada to norhtern Mexico, except along the mid Atlantic coast and through the Midwest where intensive human habitation and agriculture have led to it's extirpation. I live in Ohio, which is part of the Midwest. Bobcats are native to this region, but there are very few left, sad to say
The Bobcats that come from the Northern territories and the Northwest are larger than the Bobcats in the south. Amber came from Montana.

My hubby is a truck driver and every M-W-F he gets home and prepares his sandwiches for the next two days - I buy deli meat for him. Well, he has a ritual with the kids now...they get "kitty ham" or "Kitty beef" while he's makins his sandwiches...He tears the slices up and puts them in piles on the floor (yes, i clean the floors constantly! lol). Baubles prefers the beef while Mocha and Max will eat anything. Actually, Mocha is a Maine Coon wanna be (we've just confirmed that Max is a Mix) and for a little DLH, he's a pig! Max also scarfs down bacon, but none of them like cheese. Baubles will occasionally eat canned green beans if mom is having some. But Steve and I eat usually in the living room iwth laptrays and if I have anything on my plate that is milk or cream based, I have to fight Baubles off...like ranch dressing, sour cream, etc...She tends to go for stuff like that...

Stevei, I would be a little concerned about giving your cats ham or bacon. I know cats love bacon, but I have always heard that pork is not good for them. I guess if it is for a treat once in a while, that is ok.
By the way, I love Casey, what a beautiful kitty

Terri - I'll keep your warning about the ham or bacon in mind...Although they only eat a few bites each - We also "blot" each piece before tearing it up (i wonder about those preservatives in lunchmeat, even for humans).

And thanks for the Casey note...she was our best friend....It's funny, I was noticing that we're both all over the boards this morning and was going to message you about your bobcats- they are GORGEOUS!

I read where a lot of people's cats here like Tomatos and tomato sauce. I thought tomatos were toxic to cats. I know my Snoopy loves tomato sauce, but when I read that, I stopped letting him have any. Snoopy also used to go crazy for potato chips, but now I can't let him have them, because he doesn't have teeth.

Simba is always trying to steal food out of my salads, but I won't let him have it. I have a feeling he's like lettace, and all kinds of veggies if I'd give them to him.

Shane will eat ANYTHING as long as it's edible.
