As most of you all know I have 8 cats and I have noticed a couple of them are attracted to different foods that you wouldn't think possible.

Lacie will eat anything that she sees me eat.. She eats apples, cabbage, turnip, potatoes, peas, and TOOTHPASTE (I don't eat toothpaste)
What is up with toothpaste? It is to the point we have to hide it or she will find it chew on the tube and lick the toothpaste out of the tube???? My husband makes his round each night before he leaves saying good night to all the babies. He learned his lesson with Lacie - He had brushed his teeth and picked her up to say good night first, MISTAKE - we ended up having to pull a very tiny kitty off a very big Man's LIP!!!!


Buddy is a mommy food cat lover too. He always wants what I am eating and he is fussy.. I have water dishes everywhere for the babies but he only drinks from a cup
He sticks his paw in it and licks it off, then he sticks his head in the cup and continues until he is satified.

I have one that likes raw spinach, bread, and poptarts (she will also open fish food cans and raid them if I don't keep them hidden), and one that likes poptarts but is not at all interested in other human foods that most cats go wild for.

Haha. Once when I was a kid and my dad and I had gone out for the day.. One of our dogs proceded to eat almost all the stuffing out of our couch!!! What she didn't eat ended up all over the house.

This is also the dog that drank kerosene and ate my dad's wallet and his false teeth!



She was a piece of work.

Leo likes pizza, but only from Gino's East! This kitty has a stomach of steel! Other than that, I have literally never seen my kitty even try to eat anything he isn't supposed to...he's a weirdo like that (but, I love him anyway!!)

I know other kitties do this as well, but it's a sweet story worth sharing!
The other night, Sierra was chasing a moth all over the place! She was happily chirping away as she hopped around to catch it. My little mighty huntress finally captured her prey, and looked at me with the proudest little face, her tail straight up in the air! As I reached for a tissue to dispose of my prize, she ate it! She at the moth!
My silly little girl!

Oscar LOVES to eat spiders. He patrols around, with his nose stuck down to the floor, sniffin' them out
He likes them big and juicy. It's the grossest thing I've ever seen but he evidently thinks they're pretty tasty. It makes me feel a little safer, knowing if any get past the door, Oscar is always on "spider patrol".

I really was surprised, Kelly! I just stood there for a second loking at her thinking "Did she really eat it?! I didn't realize that tip about catching the moth yourself! Oscar must have taught you that one!

I think my Teddy is part Italian - he LOVES black olives and spaghetti sauce
I'm sure he's not the only cat who likes this, but it seems odd coming from a brown & black tabby who drank from a bottle the last two weeks before he was weaned!

OMG Yes, lacie likes them too. One of the things I forgot to add - Black olives are rearly in the house but green olives most of the time. Buddy, Titden and lacie like olives


Oh yes, since some have mentioned none food things that your furbabies likes to eat. WHATS UP WITH PLASTIC.. Max is nuts for plastic.. just nuts, bags and plastic seal wrap is the worst. Scary ....

pandy does that
and she eats them too, sometimes if there is one flying near the ceiling i will hold her up and carry her around after it while she swats away, she loves it.

other things she eats but isn't supposed to, plastic bags which i have to take off her and sushi, she loves it so much, the first time i found out about her weird taste was after i had made a fresh batch and left it on the counter to cool down, when i reterned to the kitchen she had a peice on the floor and was happily chewing away
i have to watch her because when i'm in the middle of making some and turn away for a minute i always catch her pulling the nori out of the pack, once she ran off with a whole sheet! she also eats the sushi rice out of the bowl when i'm not looking


as for bonnie, she's pretty good, she loves bbq chips and vegemite toast though







love,

felicia
