For me all of my cats always seem to like any brand/type of mac and cheese. I only give them each 2 or 3 noodles depending on the size. As soon as they see me or anyone with a bowl or plate with it on it they go absolutely crazy until they get some. Almost the same reaction as when I take a nice big thing of salmon out of the oven, Here comes the heard!!!

Doughnut holes. When my cat hears the container opening he comes running! He only eats the inside so as a bonus for me I get to eat the outside.

Pretty much everything. My cat gets to taste my dinner before I do.

One of mine likes butter.  I do not feel guilty about this because it has made giving him pills a breeze.

I was eating pork rinds last night and Miss Zander decided she wanted to try one because I was sharing with the dog. After she licked it and took a few bites she decided it was more fun to play with it.

Her nor Sammy eat much people food, they will taste it but prefer their Fancy Feast Classics. When I had Ghost, he loved to share popcorn with me and I would let him eat a little bit of what was left on my plate after dinner. He also loved potato chips.

I give my cats small amounts of cooked meat or eggs a couple times a week (I don't consider this bad, though!)

I have one cat who will eat through a bag of bakery bread to get to it. Only bakery bread, though, not the cheap presliced mass produced bread. He also has a fondness for peanut butter. The other cat really crackers and anything with butter or milk. They're horrible about trying to knock over the trash if there's something that smells good in it!

I occasionally give them a bit of peanut butter or dairy butter, but outside of that they only get what they scavenge from the children, or crumbs from the floor. The baby hasn't really tried human food, yet, aside from some meat as a treat :)

One of my cats loves anything crunchy. Goldfish crackers or chips especially. I don't usually keep chips in the house, since I am equally as bad about eating them - but when I do, she's been known to stick her head in the bag.

Ok I am guilty of this over the weekend. We had pizza and I let Sammy lick at the crust and eat a little of it. They don't eat much people food but sometimes I give them some as a treat. Like the pizza crust and scrambled eggs w/ cheese.

I try not to give Arya anything, but my family likes giving her a piece of noodle, potato chip crumbs, yogurt, etc. I've given up on telling them not to and just stick to keeping an eye on how much is being fed.

I've never given them anything other than plain grilled, broiled or baked meats like chicken, turkey, lamb, pork and beef. I don't want them to start begging for things that they shouldn't be eating like the dog does. Ok. I take that back. I have given them some plain scrambled eggs a couple of times. Lily really likes them. Henry can't eat any meats other than chicken and turkey. The other ones are too rich for him and they come right back up. I gave him steak once and he threw up on the dog. I shouldn't laugh. It's mean to laugh but it was funny. She didn't think so. She just looked at me like "really?" I couldn't help but laugh. 


That was Henry's last bit of steak. Now if I eat it and share it with the girls and the dog, he gets plain grilled chicken and it stays down. He can eat the cat food versions though. He likes Pride by Instinct rabbit, duck and lamb so he does get those.

Macha loves chicken but I tried not to give any because there's some salt and other spices. She would look at me with those big eyes and begging. My two girls that passed away, I gave them some chicken, they loved it so much, two cats meowing and begging I gave them a little bit but they would vomit so I never give to Macha at al. She eats her foods and that's it.
