Harvey loves bread, too. In fact, I have to be really sure I don't leave any bread products out on the counter or he'll tear open the bags they're in and eat until he gets sick. He loves popcorn, too.

Tailer loves fortune cookies. Forest will eat, literally, just about anything.

Where do I start, Scully's previous owners let him have a lot of human food so he will eat pretty much anything...
Mashed potato is probably his favourite, pringles, fries, zucchini, peppers, mushrooms, cereal, he will drink steaming hot tea (as will Magnum). Boomer will eat the usual leftovers and Magnum and Bumper tend not to be interested in anything but catfood and the occasional piece of meat. Scully I am yet to find something he won't try and eat!

Lovey likes to lick jam off my fingers...I heard that cats don't have a sweet tooth but I think my cat is likely supernatural


He will also lick as much Burts Bees mint lip balm off my lips as he can. I can't put it on at home anymore or he won't leave me alone... I once found the container suspiciously on the kitchen floor and it looked like an animal with fangs had tried to break into it...


Rocky only likes MEAT of any kind. so nothing special there...

Currently Chuckie likes marshmellows and he and Crystal likes to lick the "cheese" off of Cheetos.
Crystal likes the circus peanuts candy (a marshmellow type of cany).
Stormy loves whipped cream that comes in the can...all she has to do is hear the hiss sound from the can and she comes running!

Teufel loves olives especially the green ones, he will lick and lick and rub it all over him, takes about 15 minutes and then he eats it,
he also eats coffee beans and he loves espresso.

Elliot's ultimate most favorite thing in the world to eat is....

Watermelon!

We bought one a couple of week sago and I wondered if he would like it... so I took a peice and showed it to him, and he almost went into a frenzy! He bit it and chewed it and licked it! You couldnt open the fridge without him standing in it and pawing the top shelf where the watermelon was! I eventually took the last of the watermelon (it was the bottom of it) and carved the watermelon out of it, then squeezed the water in there for him and he was soooo happy that day!

Elliot also likes strawberry banana yogurt (but basically any kind), mandarin oranges, corn, peas, beans, mushrooms, applesauce, apples, oranges, pineapples, peaches, pears..... so basically any food at all as long as it is organic. He doesnt really like meat though.

Aerowyn likes strong, smelly foods... like she loves summer sausage but elliot wont touch it... she liked this spread my mom made with cream cheese, italian seasoning (not the normal stuff but this stuff from pampered chef) and a bit of garlic... elliot wouldnt touch that again but aerowyn loved the bit I gave her (didnt give her too much cuz of the garlic) Aerowyn likes meat though. SHe isnt really all that big on vegetables....

both of my cats go absolutely wild for green olives though!

My angel Kit used to love cheese popcorn. Sash will nibble on bread too if it's around, he also shared McDonald's french fries with me once and seemed to love them!

Oliver likes cheese, roast chicken...nothing too out of the ordinary.
Emma, on the other hand, will eat or drink pretty much anything. She loves to smell my Chai tea and once licked the outside of a wasabi pea!

Who ever found out that cat's can't taste sweet evidently forgot to tell my Gandalf too. He loves anything sweet, from soda pop to icecream to hard candy. I'm not sure where he developed a taste for it but man is he crazy for it.

Samwise likes cheese, cottage cheese, any kind of meat, and his favorite treat ever? Candy Canes, the boy goes wild and will climb the Christmas tree in order to bring one down and suck on it.

Katie loves Italian food, or anything with spaghetti or tomato sauce. One time I left a bowl of spaghetti sauce sitting on the dining room table and she tipped the whole thing over onto the floor. She's also been known to steal the toppings off of a slice of pizza.

Gracie LOVES lettuce, especially Romaine, and will beg for it when I open a bag of salad mix. She's also fond of other fruits and veggies, especially peaches and tomatos. She's also very fond of strawberry cereal bars.

Ari has a fondness for Corn Chex and the sweet flakes from Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.

Minx (RIP) was our cheese lover. Any form, variety with a fondness for cheese curls. He also liked to lick tomato sauce from dirty plates. Made dishwashing easier!

K.C. eats peas... so does Zorro.

Zorro also likes sauerkraut.

Hammie likes plastic... so we have to be REALLY careful about leaving anything plastic around!

and Dusty just totally freaks over Ritz crackers & Doritos. And, Kraft American cheese singles; but only Kraft. She hears that wrapper and comes running!

Resurrecting this thread, because I thought you all would like to know, that Emma just ate a sour patch kid. That's right, the sour, chewy candy. Grabbed it out of my hand, ran off with it, and devoured it.

You'd think I didn't feed her or something!

i still laugh when I prepare a salad and Faline will come up to me and meow for a lettuce or two. When I indulge and give it to her, she runs away under the table from the other cats like it's a catnip/tuna treat.
