Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2005Your cat's favourite foods?
Smokey: Pizza, sandwich. In his feral years, Smokey begged a lot of food off of military personnel and students. He still believes that pizza is a kind of cat food, and gets excited when we bring it home, thinking it is all for him. He also gets hyper at the sight of a sandwich and demands a bite in "tax." Nocturne: The souls of the innocent (in actual fact, tartar fighter Pounce) Nocturne likes to look brooding and evil. She will snub offerings of meat, tuna, cheese, soft cat food and most cat treats, but has a real love for things that are extra crunchy. She has been known to eat oreos and potato chips, and loves Tartar fighter Pounce. Kumani: Bugs Kumani's really into bugs and spiders. If one is on the ceiling or window, Kumani will scream until we lift her up to catch it. it's annoying when she thinks the shadows on our stucco walls are bugs. Tyche: Ice cream, coffee, booze Tyche likes to tip coffee mugs and beer bottles to drink the contents. She shoves her face in mugs to lap coffee. She licks vodka coolers around the lip. This is obviously NOT ALLOWED but she beelines for any coffee/alcohol if there is company that doesn't know enough to hold it at all times. Our one concession to her weird tastes is permitting her to lick the icecream bowl AFTER we have eaten the contents. --Enfilade My cats really just like catfood. But ham is an acceptable treat. Oh, and Grant likes turkey babyfood. You have a ham freak too? All three of ours have a scary ham fixation; Roxie once needed a ham fix so badly that she pulled a chunk out of my Louie's sandwich, as he was raising it to bite! We've found a ham cat food at one of our supermarkets; just a store brand, their take on Fancy Feast, but they love it. I've never seen it elsewhere. Believe it or not, their favorite treat besides a healthy pinch of catnip is a squirt of salmon-flavored hairball treatment. Stosh and Brandy, who have no manners anyway, will rip my fingers off for it; Roxie is much more delicate and polite. Stosh likes plain yogurt too, but Roxie won't have it. Brandy has yet to be introduced to yogurt. Brandy won't touch kitten food though. Her favorite is Iams for adults. We discovered yogurt as a cat treat when our Fritzie was still with us. Louie and I were sick, and neither of us felt like cooking. He got Indian takeout, including Dahi or a plain yogurt dip to go with bread and hot curry. When our backs were turned Fritzie dove into the yogurt bowl. He was a sight, with big smears of yogurt all over his totally black face! The vet approved it as a treat for diabetic cats; Indian style homemade yogurt is fat free and has no sugar, but isn't nasty-sour like the plain stuff you buy in the supermarket. Fritzie was in hog heaven. After two years of no treats, to have one finally approved that he loved! I think that when he went to RB, he met the Lord there, with a big bowl of yogurt in his hands. Blessed be, Baha > My cats really just like catfood. But ham is an acceptable treat. Oh, and > Grant likes turkey babyfood. Vino loves ham too. I always get this pepper ham and he even eats the edges which have a ton of black peppercorns on it. He knows the sound of the package of ham being unwrapped and comes running from upstairs to get some. Vino also loves yoghurt. I always put yoghurt on my cereal and eat it while reading the NG. Vino will sit on the computer desk and stare at me. When no yoghurt is forthcoming, he'll actually reach out and hook his paw into my bowl and pull it towards him. Then we have a little tug of war with me pulling the bowl back and saying stuff like: "Vino, stop it! That's my breakfast, you already had yours. Go away!" and Vino will say stuff like this: "Meee ow! Ow! Maaaah!". Eventually I'll finish my breakfast and put the bowl down for him to lick out. I make my own yoghurt and for a while I was making cappuccino flavoured yoghurt. Well, it didn't take long to realize that the caffeine was just too much for him. He usually goes back to bed right after breakfast and doesn't really do much until the afternoon. But with coffee yoghurt, he would be up and running around all day! Then he would crash in the evening. So now I just make mango yoghurt or vanilla.  SignatureBritta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!

That means it's either going to be a ham or turkey sandwich. Just like organized crime, they want a piece of the action.

Just like organized >crime, they want a piece of the action. > >Regards and Purrs, >O J They sure learn sounds, don't they? Mine have figured out the series of sounds that mean cat food is forthcoming. If I'm feeding one, all four will appear when they hear 1) The drawer opens, spoons rattle. 2)Pantry door opens. 3) Pop top on can. They'll sometimes come running after #1 & #2 before the cat food actually opens. Sherry > >Mine key in on the sound of the mayonnaise jar opening.

We actually go outside to open any pull-top cans that are *not* cat food. Otherwise, it's just not worth it. ;-) ------ Krista Wilson's ears are attuned to the microwave in the mornings,This morning he was very confused, usually my first job is to open a can and put the contents onto a saucer and into the oven for a few seconds,he always comes galloping into the kitchen, this morning I decided to do my sugars and insulin first, as I was finishing up, Wilson came racing in to the kitchen door, not noticing me in the chair,and stopped dead, 'no Meowmie,' I was laughing to myself, he looked so surprised,I sat and watched as his eyes moved around the kitchen,'wherever is she hiding." Then very slowly he turned his head and looked at his placemat, there was no breakfast there, so disconsolately, he turned and walked back to the Veranda. Naturally I got up immediately and fixed his breakfast Jean.P. > >Mine key in on the sound of the mayonnaise jar opening. That means > >it's either going to be a ham or turkey sandwich.

Or is that Muslims and Jews? Am I mistaken? I must be. Stormin Mormon > You have a ham freak too?

Didn't think Sikhs ate ham. Or is that Muslims and > Jews? Am I mistaken? I must be. > Stormin Mormon I can answer that one for you. Many Sikhs do not drink alcohol and many do not eat meat at all. Levels of observance differ among individuals of most religions. I'm quite sure you know Mormons who drink coffee. Etc. Or as a Muslin explained to my husband once while they were having a beer, I'm at least as good a Muslim as you are a Christian. Jo > Smokey: Pizza, sandwich. Amelia and Sammy: nothing but kitty food. I try to feed them good canned stuff, but they won't go for it. They only like the cheap canned stuff, preferably Tuna and Shrimp flavor. But they do get good quality dry food as well. Cleopatra: The same canned and dry food as Amelia and Sammy, but she also likes some milk and a little yogurt. Tabitha: The usual cat foods, plus she loves turkey and roast beef out of our sandwiches. And if anyone happens to bring home ice cream, watch out! She'll be all over it. It's hilarious to watch- she'll climb up on your lap to lick the ice cream out of your bowl, and she'll sit there with her eyes closed while she licks. She REALLY likes her ice cream! >> Smokey: Pizza, sandwich. Stinky: Wow. Number One is chicken. HOT chicken. He gets that glazed, trembling, chicken junkie look when I have it. Then, in no particular order: Chocolate (this is a real pain, since I can't let him have any, obviously); Broccoli, carrots (cooked); anything with garlic; lasagne, ravioli, almost any cheese; anything flavored with dill-- almost anything herb-y; potato chips-- regular, and in all kinds of offensive flavors. Peaches. Shredded wheat, Rice Chex. Bagels (toasted). Pizza. Mushroom barley soup. The list goes on. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com >>> Smokey: Pizza, sandwich. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Chex. Bagels (toasted). Pizza. Mushroom barley soup. The list goes > on. ;) Lol! What strange tastes Stinky has. *peaches* Wow. Mushrom barley soup (whatever that is?), dill, your cat is mad ;-) Kitty had to find her own living for a few years, so she isn't too fussy about what's edible. She will eat "hoomin" leftovers like potato, vegs and gravy. Maybe it's all she got once, I know my ex-next door neighbours used to feed her dinner scraps. Boyfriend was probably not a stray for long enough to appreciate this cuisine. What he really likes is dry cat food, the more expensive the better. He isn't that keen on moist canned food, even pouches of chicken & kidney in gravy sometimes get the thumbs down. Kitty will eat cheese, potato crisps, pasta, spuds, peas, carrots, cauliflower, moist food, dry food, mice, rats, birds, some of the milder curries. Chicken she loves most of all. Boyfriend says they are all poisonous and he'd rather be seen dead than eat them. He likes his biccies. He will occasionally eat some chicken and he has been known to eat a few birds. It makes me wonder who he belonged to before and whether they reared him completely on dry food and that could be why it's his favourite. Tweed >Stinky: >Wow. Number One is chicken. HOT chicken. He gets that glazed, >trembling, chicken junkie look when I have it. That sounds vaguely familiar. When I'm eating a smoked turkey sandwich, Betty's eyes become veeery big, her whiskers become trembly, and she watches very carefully as I take bites of my sandwich. She starts by pointing to what she wants. So she'll either point a paw at my plate, or at my hand. If I don't respond, she'll grab my wrist and pull it towards her so that she can have a sniff, and maybe a bite. She gets such a delighted look as she's doing this that it makes me laugh. > Tabitha: The usual cat foods, plus she loves turkey and roast beef out of > our sandwiches.

It's hilarious to watch- she'll climb up on your > lap to lick the ice cream out of your bowl, and she'll sit there with her > eyes closed while she licks. She REALLY likes her ice cream! Gossamer: tuna, cheese (preferably American although she'll eat most varieties), vanilla ice cream, beef & bean burrito filling and just about any cat food I've ever fed her. She's also once stole asparagus off my plate so I gave her a small dish of it and she wolfed it all down. Of course she hasn't touched it since then.... Jeeves: tuna, crackers (esp. saltines, wheat thins & cheddar cheese goldfish), steak (he does upside-downy head somersaults, or as DH says "Thundersaults" on the feet of whomever is cooking it), Tostitos Queso Dip (medium hot), and all dairy products. He demands his milk every morning: "Moom? Miwk! Mooom?! MIIWWK!!" When he gets ice cream he tries to lick it all up quick but you can tell his tongue gets really cold. He can't decide between letting the tongue thaw out and eating the yummy ice cream :) SignatureElise (supervised by Gossamer & Jeeves) dragonandthistle at snet dot net > Smokey: Pizza, sandwich. > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Nocturne: The souls of the innocent (in actual fact, tartar fighter > Pounce) Our Smokey likes a wide variety of foods, especially dairy (Cheese, Cream, Ice Cream) and pretty much any meat/fish except Pork. She also likes Whiskas dry by the bucket full. She won't touch any other dry food. She also likes Kraft dinner. Smokey also detests cat treats. > Nocturne likes to look brooding and evil.

She's not much for people food, except maybe Bacon and raw/rare beef. She despises Poultry and fish. She seems to like spicy food though, Doritos and HOT wings. Cali also likes treats, but only the crunchy ones. > Kumani: Bugs > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > --Enfilade Cats seem to have as varied food preferences as hoomins! My Djoser won't eat anything but his dry food and an occasional Whisker Lickin. Robin likes his dry food and some of Sheba's diabetic dry food as a treat. As for human food, he wants his meat plain; no mesquite grilled or bbq or sauce of any kind. He doesn't like processed meats. Sheba's all-time favorite is Cheetos. Any rattley bag just has to have Cheetos in it and she wants some NOW! She also loves braunschweiger. And bites of anything I am eating. Of course, I have to be careful how much of anythign I give her so I don't mess up her blood sugar level. All three cats would give up all these favorites for fresh-caught mouse or bird, preferably still alive. :-) -- CATherine > Smokey: Pizza, sandwich. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > --Enfiladi have a cat elijah who once took off with a wendys fry right out of the container, he also likes salad pretty much opf any kind, if im on the bed eating it he will surely run up and try and grab some, he is rather adventurous in trying hooomin food, the other cat gizmo, she will really eat any cat food put in front of her , and can give or take hoomin food , dependant on her mood i guess. but the other elijah practically makes up for what she wont take, caue he turns his nose up at most cat treats, where as gizmo will eat any cat treat sandra > (snippage) > Nocturne: The souls of the innocent (in actual fact, tartar fighter > Pounce) ROFL!!! I read this line to my DH, and he laughed too. :-D Tallulah and Hubert are interested in everything we eat, but so far haven't been allowed to sample a whole lot of people food. Their day is coming, I expect. My RB Mike, on the other hand, liked pretzels, grapes, Doritos, and asparagus, but his favorite food in all the world was watermelon. ------ Krista > > (snippage) > > > Nocturne: The souls of the innocent (in actual fact, tartar fighter > > Pounce) > > ROFL!!!
