That's one hard core cat you have there!
I know right? She loves the stuff!
Maybe there is a little bit of Russian in her....
That's one hard core cat you have there!
So nice that Lilith and the dog co-operate like that.While DD and I were evacuating from the storm, I remembered something that happened while she was at school. I had fixed myself some plain scrambled eggs and toast with butter. As soon as it was plated, the doorbell rang. It was UPS. I put the plate on the coffee table and went to the door. When I went back, Lilith was gobbling up the eggs and the dog was finishing the toast. It looked like Lily had inspected the plate, decided she wanted the eggs but not the toast so she pushed it on the floor for the dog. DD was laughing about that one as we drove. So- Lilith likes scrambled eggs but not toast!
no chocolate, and no milk!!!Casper doesn't care at all for ANYTHING people food related, Mollie and Dutch get small amounts once in a while of roast, or chicken, etc. Tommy and Burt however almost insist on having what ever we are eating, or at least sniff it anyway to see if they like it. About the only thing I don't give them is anything milk or chocolate related. Once in a while they will eat small amounts of cottage cheese or vanilla ice cream. So far it hasn't upset them. Poor Burt has been throwing up about everything lately, but since he is literally dieing, we let him try what ever he wants.
oh my, Morgana!! i can see your Tippy Toes attraction to bacon and eggs! your Camelot likes everything!! beans!? ahhh, your Liffey is so far only mildly curious about people foods!Morgana - Vodka. She had a taste sometime ago while my back was turned. Doesn't look great for an owner if they have to take their kitty to an AA meeting so I'm careful.
Tippy Toes - Bacon and Eggs. Goes crazy for it! Not surprising, the combo smell must be divinely strong.
Camelot - Everything! He will even go after something like beans, despite never having anyway and telling him that I doubt he'd like it
Liffey - So far so good, she might briefly get a little curious about some foods but she doesn't beg nor behave 'desperately' like the other ones.
ahhh, though your Alice and Patches would like to try anything you're eating, they only get a tiny bite of tuna or turkey occasionally!!! very nice!!They will beg for anything I am eating but the only things they will actually eat is tuna or turkey. I don't have either on a regular basis so when I am having one of those I will give each of them a tiny bite. Like I said though, they will beg for anything I am eating except for an orange. They both gather around me when I have an orange because they have to beg for what I am having. As soon as I start peeling it they get a good whiff and they are gone.
3 out of 4 of your cats don't show interest in people food!! most excellent!We never got in the habit of giving our cats people food and three out of our four really don't show interest in it. Rico, on the other hand... He's our 'garbage gut' and will eat anything we leave out so we have to be careful to put food away. Hubby gives him a bit of cooked plain chicken now and then but that's it.
ahhh, your Gypsy must smell the foods you're preparing or eating, but rarely will taste any!!! good girl, Gypsy!! and just a few licks from the bottom of a bowl of cereal or vanilla ice cream...Gypsy HAS to smell everything we are preparing or eating but rarely will taste anything. She does take a few licks from the bottom of a bowl of cereal or vanilla ice cream but won't take more than a taste. She likes a little piece of peanut or peanut butter. Now a tuna sandwich is a totally different story!
your Carleton shows no interest in people food!!! good boy, Carleton!! i'm so glad that he has you now!Same here, Carleton shows no interest in people food. However, I think that is due in part to him coming from a hoarder and being malnourished. He never got to experience the sweet smells or cooking delights.
The only cat whoever really showed a sign of interest in people food was our tuxedo cat, Sylvester. He loved vanilla yogurt and I would give him a teeny tiny bit on my spoon.
your Lilith, Sophie, and Henry have no interest in any people food other than meat!!! most excellent!! and such wonderful treats for them, cooked plain meat or chicken!They have no real interest in anything I eat other than meat. I'm not a big gravy/sauce person so most meat I eat is grilled/baked broiled and if that is what I am eating, they can have some as I will usually just season it with a bit of sea salt. Anything else they do not get. Sometimes I will cook a plain chicken breast for them as a treat. It gets shredded and used as a topper to their food or fed alone as a treat.
awww, your Artie loves fish and cheese!!! you're such a great cat mom, refraining from having tuna fish!!Artie is a bear to deal with when I am having fish of any kind, especially Tuna Fish.
He also loves cheese: sliced deli cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Cracker Barrel cheddar...
He is terrible to deal with. Artie is all over me when I try to have some. He is jumping up next to me, paw in my plate, nose in my food. I really cannot enjoy having either fish or cheese..
The worst is tuna or fish in general. When he was able to jump that high, he would actually jump on the kitchen counter, demanding tuna.
It is horrible, but I have refrained from Tuna fish....and I am absolutely craving a tuna salad sandwich.. or just tuna in a salad.. sigh...
Regular fish, I can turn him away a bit better, because of the lemon...
'...they sit hungrily watching me (eat)' -- oh my!! your Lily will eat anything, and Mingo doesn't care for 'leftovers' on your plate after you've finished your meal!Both my cats want anything on my plate, and while I'm eating, they sit hungrily watching me. Mingo will try to snatch something off my plate, so I am continually batting them away. When I'm done, I put the plate down to let them lick it. Mingo invariably doesn't like it at that point and scratches around the plate like it was litter. Lily, however, will lick the plate clean. She will eat anything. Crackers are one of her favorites.
There's a cute Cole and Marmalade video about what's it like to eat around a cat who is determined to have your food. That's what it's like for me.
such a good boy, your Paul!! ahhh, ham! i can understand your Chula loving ham!! my three absolutely adore ham (and gravy) jar baby food. and your Chula also likes ice cream and milk, which she gets only a taste or two of so as not to upset her tummy!Paul doesn't have any interest in people food but Chula has a serious weakness for ham. She also likes ice cream and milk. She never drinks much of these last two, just sits there and puts a danty paw in the bowl and then licks it. At least she does this until I swoop in warning her of tummy upset and take the bowl away.
peanut butter cookies and pizza!!! your girl also likes chicken! good girl!!Peanut butter cookies and pizza. Although I do understand the need for these two items, she's not getting them.
She also likes chicken, but I have no problem giving her some of that. Especially since it's baked with no breading or seasoning. That way I can make chicken salad out of it.
olive oil!?! oh my, Gandalf!!Gandalf really loves olive oil of all things. I'm afraid it will give him diarrhea so I don't give him any, but he does manage to jump on the kitchen counter and lick the occasional plate whenever I've had salad for lunch or dinner.
oh my!!! i can just picture that in my mind!!While DD and I were evacuating from the storm, I remembered something that happened while she was at school. I had fixed myself some plain scrambled eggs and toast with butter. As soon as it was plated, the doorbell rang. It was UPS. I put the plate on the coffee table and went to the door. When I went back, Lilith was gobbling up the eggs and the dog was finishing the toast.

So- Lilith likes scrambled eggs but not toast!
