We have a yellow naped amazon parrot, who gets peanuts as treats. We keep her treats close to her play stand. Peyton has decided that he rather enjoys eating the peanuts. He gets them out of the bag cracks them and eats them...shortly after he started eating them Phoenix started eating them. I find this a bit strange

Fluffy will eat anything that will hold still, especially if it is on a plate. Asparagus, tomatoes, pico de gallo, corn, corned beef hash, brownies, macaroni and cheese, anything. She even likes to lick Popsicles, frozen juice or flavored water for those of you not familiar. She has a fit if she does not get a sip of milk from my cereal bowl at breakfast. She will stomp her paws and hiss. I have to be careful that she does not get too much food that may not be good for her. I have to fight with her for chocolate pudding. It is amazing she is not a little butterball, but she manages to maintain her girlish figure.
The others mostly eat cat food, with the occasional human food treat. A lot of times they will just smell human food and look at me funny.

But he LOVES Romaine Lettuce. He begs for it like Scotty begs for Tuna.

Scotty doesn't really care for anything strange really. Just Oscar.

Zebra loves chips and cheesies. Milo will not eat anything other than his food, tuna and one type of treat.

I have to be careful in my house. I have a couple of "garbage gut" cats in Archie and Tex. I had to stop Archie once from eating a ginger-molasses cookie I had set on the counter. They like Danish pastry from Costco! They like Haagen Dazs mango sorbet! Mock crab. Shrimp. Any meat sandwich I am eating. Graham crackers. Chips. Bread. Fruity or vanilla yogurt. In other words, I get no peace!


When I wasn't looking Archie once took a BIIIG bite of a chicken salad croissant sandwich - complete with lettuce, tomato, and the chicken salad which had bits of celery in it. He didn't care. Must have smelled wonderful to him.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
Fatman who has now taken to being called Tubbs or Crocket (generally Im called Tubbs and the cats called Crocket gotta love BFs new nicknames LOL) will eat ANYTHING we actually have to guard our plates because of him.
GiGi is quite picky and normally only comes running when she hears a cereal box. Hercules doesnt eat anything other than catfood not even treats.

Daisy loves strawberries. I don't know if she actually eats them or just likes the smell. Either way, I can't keep them out on the counter. She'll start smelling the air and jump up and start trying to chew her way thru the plastic container. I have to put them in the fridge. I give her one whenever I'm eating them, and she carries it around, but she doesn't really seem to do more than nip it with her teeth. Speck likes celery, particularly the leafy top.

Ripley is exactly the same. She eats hair bands too. Sometimes she just licks plastic and drools. Why?

Lucy will lick and chew on plastic bags.

Much loves cornbread. If she smells it, she is in your face until she gets some.

I try my very hardest to limit my kitties exposure to human food...but,
.

Harvey LOVES any bread products. Donuts are his absolute favorite. He will jump on the kitchen counter and get into the box. French fries are tempting to him too.

Luke goes crazy for yogurt. Which I ashamedly admit I let him share. Josh hates it and thinks it's gross. Which I suppose it is, but it makes him SO happy.

Danny really doesn't like anything. Or at least he hasn't discovered anything yet!
