Fortunentaly this isnt a habit... and we now take care of it everytime. But I was sleeping in the livingroom one night (sort of connects to the kitchen) and i wake up to this horrible hacking noise... so i get up and baby had swallowed half of one of those nets that you tie around turkeys or ham. It wasnt just a string it was the whole dang net! I had to pull it out of her throat... maybe it was a blessing that i was scared to sleep in my room that year...

oh yes, very very lucky

I didn't actually see her eat it, but I found the "evidence" extraordinarily entertaining: My girl Tigger (RB
) ate an entire 16" length of plastic tinsel!! We discovered an 8" length of it trailing behind her, and carefully removed the remainder, much to her dismay!!
Needless to say, that was the last year we had tinsel on the Crimbo tree!!!

It wasn't until I found this site last year that I realized how fortunate we were that she was not harmed and lived another ten years!

Isabelle also likes to eat packing tape,or at least chew on it. Abigail loved the cornstarch based packing peanuts. She went nuts over them! I figured it was ok since they desolve in your mouth and are only cornstarch, but still.. it was pretty funny.

Everyone has such cute stories about their kits!
Kelly, I can just picture Oscar walking around, nose to the ground, on patrol!
Steph, I wish you had a picture of sweet Sierra looking so proud of herself
.
Eponine is pretty finicky- she just likes certain cat foods, shrimp, tuna, and chicken (but only if it's cooked/seasoned in certain ways).
The funniest thing Cosette eats is CORN! I'll put a couple of kernels (cooked) on the counter. She'll take one kernel, run to the other side of the apartment, eat it, run back to the counter, take another kernel....you get the idea. It takes her forever to eat it all, but it is too dang cute to watch!

My cat likes sour kraut. She stole a piece from me once, and then stole some more. That is weird...She goes crazy for that stuff, even I don't like it that much.

Katie loves anything with tomato or spaghetti sauce. Once she stole the topping (cheese and all) off a slice of pizza, then licked the crust clean. Loves poptarts too.

Gracie is my fruit and veggie cat. Her favorites are peaches and lettuce (she begs for this!), but she also likes blueberries, bananas, grapes, carrots and celery. Strawberry cereal bars are on the list too.

Pete likes cheese, but doesn't seem interested in much else besides cat food at this point.

Mitts generally doesn't seem interested in our food (unless it's chicken or tuna, no sauce) However, when we bring home chinese he meows like we've starved him for months and can't wait to get at it!

I don't know about anyone else's cats, but my Serena will chew pieces off of my shoes.
I don't know why she does this, but she reminds me of a little puppy. As soon as I walk in the door, I slip my shoes off and she's right there, waiting... Then, I'll go down the hall and open the bedroom window, and when I walk back past the front entrance way, she's laying there in between my shoes, chewing on the back of the heel!
She also loves cheese, salmon, chicken... I think the strangest thing she's ever eaten -besides my shoes!- was broccoli. She loves it! At least she eats her veggies...!

Persil ate a slice of cheese and spinach pie at the weekend, that she 'rescued' out of the bin. But she will sell her soul for cheese - she snatches it out of my hand if she can. She also likes vanilla ice cream. Ellie will eat anything as long as it is in another cat's bowl. Dushka is my dainty eater. Other cats I have had loved tomato sauce and carrots.

Socks LOVES green olives and corn.

If anyone in the house is eating anything with tuna in it, Willy goes insane. This cat will eat tuna salad, pasta and all. And I hope you have some sort of protective device if you happen to be eating a Popsicle on a hot day!

Snookums, my boyfriend's cat, loves vanilla ice cream and cheezies.

I don't get the whole packing tape thing either, but they love it. Annabelle doesn't eat spiders, she just likes to run around with them in her mouth, alive. Lucy loves anything, ice cream, corn, grilled cheese sandwiches. Daisy is pretty picky. She just likes to sit in the fridge when it's open, but not eat anything. She has a pretty sensitive stomach anyway so it's good she only really likes cat food.

Harvey really loves anything bready. In fact, I can't leave any bread, rolls, muffins, whatever, on the counter or he'll rip open the packages and tear into them.

Tailer is my hunter. He'll stalk, caputure, and eat any bug in the house. (He especially loves spiders and flies.) If a mouse or something gets in he's on that, too, but he doesn't eat those...just plays with them until they're dead. (Despite my best efforts to humanely trap them and release them somewhere safer.) And, boy, when we had the bird he wanted a piece of him in the worst possible way! The REALLY strange thing he eats, though, is fortune cookies.

Forest will eat ANYTHING that's in his path. I recently caught him with a little piece of ribbon sticking out of his mouth...and when I gently removed it, it turned out to be about 7 feet long! (Boy, I still thank God I saw it before he got the whole thing swallowed...and I still have NO idea where he got it from.) He just loves the bugs, too!
