My cat, Speedboat, likes popcorn. He will catch it if you throw it to him. This morning Muffin helped himself to my Cranapple juice. And they both like pecans. Just wondering what your cats like that is out of the ordinary.

I once had a cat who loved ginger snaps. He would take them right out of my hand while I was trying to eat them! He liked potato chips, too.
Pecans? I thought cats couldn't digest nuts.

Ace has a bit of a sweet tooth; he likes oatmeal scotchies especially. (We don't feed them to him, but if a piece drops on the floor, he is THERE.) He also likes corn chips. Several of our cats like iced tea; you can't leave a glass unattended. When I was a teenager, I had a cat (RIP Speedy) who liked canned green beans.

Harley likes to eat MCD's fries too - which is weird cuz when I make them @ home, he won't even try to touch them. I guess my cooking isn't good enuf for him!

When I bring home MCD's I have to make sure to keep the fries away from Harley or he will get into them!
I don't like to share, I love them too much

Haha, my Harley likes to lick things until they are all wet and soggy, and then leave them there for me to clean up

Harley does that with chips or cheetos - he will lick off all the flavor and leave it there all disgusting. I usually only give him a little cuz I know he wont eat it anyways - I don't like to waste good junk food!

LMAO yup, MieMie actually comes up to us and sits there and gives us this pitiful look until we give her a piece of what we're eating..

Well you DO KNOW...the best way to a cats heart is the same as a man, through his stomach!

Blondie eats lettuce and corn. Merlin eats anything that's no chained down!
She stole one of my chicken taquitos last night and growled when I tried to take it back, so she got to keep it. She loves ladyfingers, oatmeal, bread, doritos, you name it and she will eat it. And she is such a petite little girl!

Summer apparently likes to eat scotch tape (from the posters in our old apartment) which she had to have surgically removed.

Other than that, and her former habit of licking plastic, She seems to like deli meat (i.e. turkey, chicken, almost anything sliced) and goes bananas when a can of tuna is opened.....so she's not THAT weird!

Mine don't eat anything weird but always have to sniff my food before I eat it to make sure that they don't want any!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
When Flowerbelle first came home from the hospital after being rescued, she was so weak she basically just slept in our bed for a month or so. We used to give her water out of the bottle cap so she wouldn't have to get up to drink. Now, two years later, even though she always drinks out of the fountain, she meows for her "water treat" - water we pour into a bottle cap for her to drink! What a nut!

And though we try SO HARD not to give them people food, several weeks ago I found Flowerbelle up on the kitchen table licking strawberry ice cream off the spoon. Never in a million years would I have thought she'd enjoy something like that!
