Phenom likes pepperoni. I dropped a piece on the floor while I was making pizza and she ate it! She also likes Lee's leftover cereal milk.

Patches is the weird eater of the house. She'll eat plastic (later throwing it all up) and string.
although she doesn't eat it, she goes nuts whenever we open a can of green olives. She'll start purring loudly, kneeding whatever she's sitting on (even if its you), rubbing her head against the sofa, etc. It's really funny to watch.

Lets see here..

Jack Daniels: Well he'll eat about anything you give him except normal foods. From picture frames to shoelaces he'll eat it all.

Tracii Guns: (Formely known as Marty until he became my cat) He'll eat ANYTHING and I do mean ANYTHING..I've caught him in a dirty diaper once.

Mystik: Nope..she don't eat nothin except cat food..she's too busy sleeping or raising havoc to eat anything.

Misty loves pineapple off of pizzas. I tested her once to see if it was the cheese that she liked by dropping a piece of cheese and a piece of pineapple on the floor. She sniffed both and chose the pineapple. She wouldn't touch the cheese piece. I had to throw it out.
She also likes fresh mushrooms, scrambled eggs, Timbits, and processed cheese slices.

She won't eat any cat stuff (wet food, dry food, or treats) with chicken but will eat pieces of chicken if I have it for dinner.

She also likes to lick plastic bags. I've read that others have cats who do the same. Does anyone know if it's harmful to them? Anyway to stop them from doing it?

Madden loves shredded cheese, and he likes to lick popcorn but won't eat it...even if you break it into smaller pieces.

My mom's cat Max (a blue russian) goes NUTS over spaghetti!! He throws a royal fit until someone fixes him his own little plate!! LOL

Cupid loooooooves cream cheese. Our old cats, Spot and Zeebo, loved weird stuff. Zeebo would eat anything, but adored lasagna, and Spot loved to chow down on broccoli. Although, broccoli cat farts were the WORST!

My Lukas will eat plastic bags if he can get to them -we actually had to plastic-bag proof the house when he was a kitten-I asked my vet why he would do this-he said the bags are actually made with a tallow base & while we can't smell or taste it a cat can-& it's not usual for cats to try & eat them-not good for them if enough of it gets in digestive track can cause a blockage-

Lily takes that one step farther. When she is done with them, she leaves them on the carpet to cement down!


Twitch will eat anything that is small enough for her to get down w/o chewing. Ophelia doesn't like people food....unless it's in my hand. Then it doesn't matter what it is, she'll eat it!

My cats love pantry snacks, especially since they are huge "pantry" raiders (har har
). I once came home to my cats having an OD fest of marshmallows (the girl is a sucker for them - I know they can't possibly be good for her so I try and keep them out of her reach), avocado/salsa flavored chips (the weirder the chip, the better), beef jerky (spicy please!), and catnip (how they got it off the top shelf I'll never know).

They didn't even care when I came home, they were just rolling around in the torn catnip and Chloe had marshamllow all over her face. The chips were strewn about the whole living room (I suppose there was a bag chase once she opened it) and Kinko was gnawing on a large piece of jerkey. When I tried to take it from him he growled and ran off it with under the bed.

They don't like chicken or beef or anything seemingly nomral to feed to a cat, but break out the junk food and they are all over it.

Tavia is weird in that she doesn't like human food but if I drop cookie crumbs and they have creme on them and her sissy doesn't snatch it first she will eat it.

My Oscar loves caned green beans, corn - best on the cob-(which he can no longer have) - but his to-die-for is cantaloupe. ??

Cantelope - wow that is pretty odd.

Ours rarely get people food, but Oliver LOVES fresh spinach.
I used to have a cat when I was in school, Lancelot, who refused tuna. He would still come running when he heard the can opener in case it was canned peas. He couldn't get enough.

Tink likes cheese -- she's had Mac & Cheese before, cheese on chips, anything. And she looooves Rice Krispies for some reason. I pour some in my bowl and cut some fresh strawberries on top of them -- and she'll come sit down like it's her bowl and start eating.

Thank you for that. She doesn't eat them that much more like heavy licking.
