So firstly I feed my cat dry and wet food. I tried all the quality dry food but he won't eat it. I'll probably try to wean him off the barbeque flavored whiskas stuff again and he will be mad no doubt...I do manage to feed him wet food that is good quality, he ONLY likes the chicken one. And I figured out that he will only eat it if I puree it in the blender (little weirdo) *there's nothing wrong with his teeth since he loves the crunchy kibbles, I guess he just likes meat paste.

He loses his mind for olives. And vanilla soy milk (I'm worried about actually giving it to him because I read they can be allergic, can anyone confirm?) He also likes smart food. He likes to lick weed containers and swiped a stem from me once.
He hates all kinds of fish or seafood... I've tried; tuna, salmon, sole, sardines, muscles, oysters, crab, lobster.

Does anyone else have a cat that likes weird foods?

Kibble doesn't clean teeth, so unless you've had him at the vet to evaluate his teeth you have no idea if his teeth are actually the cause of this issue, but it's possible. I would not give him vanilla soy milk.

He lets me open his mouth and put my fingers in there so I've checked his teeth. They're very white and gums are nice and they don't hurt him when I poke them. I figure if they bothered him he would also not like crunching the kibble. Besides it's the pate food I was trying to feed him and he won't eat as pate only when I make it paste. ... I figured the soy milk wasn't a great idea, I took the glass away when I found him licking it. Also wondering about tomatoe soup. I caught him in my bowl a while ago.

Sounds like maybe you need to read this list
http://www.thecatsite.com/t/174854/101-things-that-can-harm-your-cat

and this one:  http://www.thecatsite.com/a/common-foods-that-are-harmful-to-cats

As to the tomato soup...was it cream of tomato, made with soy milk?  If so, then possibly not good for him, although not all cats are allergic to soy.  I would say if he doesn't seem to have an issue, then it's probably ok in moderation

BTW, if you want to give him milk, raw goats milk is great for cats.  Just don't tell HIM that
