My new little kitten likes bread, she's crazy about it (I let her have just a little taste and now she want's more...). Otherwise I used to have a cat that wouldn't eat potatoes but she would eat potato peal if she was able to STEAL some.....
And she'd eat cucumbers too. But she would not eat dry cat food or any dinner leftovers.
She wanted only canned catfood. Well, they're supposed to have catfood anyway... But all our cats used to go bunkers if my dad was prepareing fish
(my mom wouldn't touch it!).
What do your cats eat that is a bit unusual or nontraditional to feed a cat?

Spaz and Vash both like poptarts.
Spaz also likes raw spinach and pizza crusts and has been known to steal cooked peppers, the hot kinds.

We have to throw away all plastic shopping bags as soon as we unload the groceries because Mika chews on the handles and swallows them.

I caught him doing it once and had to pull it out of his throat... I nearly lost my lunch
So he'll never get the opportunity to pull that stunt again!

His favorite fetch toy used to be hair scrunchies, but he started eating them, too... so those went bye bye. You really have to watch what might be in his reach because if he can swallow it, he will!!!

One of the boys dropped a cheese ball (like a cheeto but round) and Sophie batted it around, licked it, batted it some more...then the dog came in and ate it. Poor Sophie.


Sunni liked popcorn and cheesecake. Silly girl.

Unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the
Joshua once drank some of my orange juice while I wasn't looking.

Kinah likes bread. Actually, she eats pretty much everything.

I had a cat a few years ago that used to beg for food all the time. And no one could ever say no to him. He was a really big cat, with a cute kitten face and had the tinyest cutest meow. That cat would eat just about anything you gave him. I think the weirdest thing was a frozen pea (still frozen).

Ivo loves lettuce. Last weekend I bought a salad with chicken and cheese in it. I stepped out of the kitchen for a moment and when I came back Ivo had her head in the bowl eating lettuce-she totally ignored the chicken and cheese.

How could I forget? Holly's always poking her head in my glass to lick my ice. It got to the point that when ever I go into the kitchen I throw a handful of ice in their water bowl to keep her happy.

I don't like drinking after her but I don't want to lose a brand new glass of ice water so I just kind of mix it up hoping any germs will be killed by the ice
Sometimes she gets water in her nose and sneezes when she's got her head in my glass... at that point I have to call it a total loss.

Poodle loves pizza! She'll eat off all the pepperoni and cheese. Then, she'll barf it up all over the rug!

My dearest Muggins (RIP) used to love to eat cheezies, ravioli and beeferoni
..she had white fur around her lips and the fur would get a tomato coloured stain...(she was supposed to be on a diet but that always gave it away!!)

my old cat Teeka used to like popcorn! I would say to her "come sit on the couch with mummy and eat popcorn and watch movies". And she would hop up and eat a little popcorn while cuddling with me!
