Smokie Darling (Annie) - 09 Aug 2005 04:44 GMT Just wondering... It's probably been brought up before, but having watched the little ones with their choices of food, well I thought I'd bring it up potentially again.
What "odd" things do your cats/kittens enjoy?
Marley - may be called Barley these days. He likes my beer (Stella Artois), I've never had a cat who liked beer.
Bear - dill pickles. I'm thinking it's the garlic.
Seal - chocolate. Not that I give it to her, but she has been known to run off with one of the Hershey Miniatures. I catch her before she eats it (so far), but she do like chocolate.
Smeagol - Kraft Cheese slices. No other kind of cheese, just Kraft Cheese slices. Sweet Gherkins (little sweet pickles).
All of the kittens like fried pork rinds, in fact when you open the container, they will come running to get their own piece out. They are very well behaved about it, so long as we let them have some.
Li'l Bit - peas, which makes her the only other animal in the house who eats peas (aside from me).
Smokie - broccoli, but only if it's got butter on it.
Barnabus - potato chips
Leonidas - coffee (with powdered cream, not "real" cream)
Tuppence - Werther's Caramel candies (she also likes pear baby food)
What do y'all's kits/cats like that is odd?

Then there is the reverse... None of the cats/kits will eat fish or chicken (cooked or raw), but they all like beef.

Pericles RB: Dry Cornflakes Kensey RB: Macaroons (he once wrestled one out of my hand) Aries RB: Mayonnaise, if partnered with Salmon

Smokey: Sandwiches is cat food. Pizza is cat food. Ham isn't cat food but I like it anyway. And I love cat grass.
Nocturne: Food Is Crunchy. (has eaten chips and snubbed meat for being insufficiently crunchy)
Tyche: I LOVE COFFEE AND BEER!!
Kumani: I love to eat my own fur. *barfs*

Lesley - 16 Aug 2005 11:03 GMT Redunzel- Anything a cat isn't supposed to eat or a hoomin for that matter eg small change, a metal pan scourer (she bit a chunk off of one!), cigarette ends, cellophane oh and ham of course
Sarrasine- Ham, Tiramisu (she licks the container clean), corned beef, sweetcorn
Isis (RB)- Fried fish
Fugazi (RB)- Fried fish batter, doner kebabs with chilli sauce
But the winner
Speedy Joe (RB)- apple cores (they had to go brown first), crisps, brown bread (not white health conscious kitty!), chips from the Chinese takeaway, chicken curry and rice (also only from the takeaway), frozen giblets, cheese, porkpie, spaghetti bolognaise

Hazel Baker - 16 Aug 2005 16:58 GMT Hi, I'm one of your lurkers....mostly because I have no way of showing photos as I'm on Webtv. Our house is run by Thomas, an 18lb gray lovebug with some tiger markings. He loves geranium flowers, also marigolds.... needless to say I have given up on floral bouquets of any kind. He also likes Cheeriots (with milk) I truly enjoy this Forum! Hazel Baker

You don't need a way to show photos to be able to take part in discussions, this is a text only group anyway. I look forward to reading stories about Thomas.

There's only a couple photos of my crew (none of Spotty), since I don't have a digital camera and can never seem to get film developed. We'd love to hear about Thomas, so post more when you can find the time.

Both Frank and Miranda like tinned maize (sweet corn). I discovered that Frank likes it when he was a young lad. I was opening a tin, and he came running, thinking it was a tin of catfood. I said, 'You don't like this' (famous last words with cats) and gave him one kernel. He ate it. I gave him another. He ate it. He would have eaten as many as I would have given him. The same was later repeated with a tin of peas, a tin of green beans, and with uncooked spaghetti. When he was young, he also used to eat lettuce.
Then there were the garlic cloves that had spent a little too much time in my fridge and had started to sprout. I planted them in a pot and used the sprouts for salads and sandwich topping. But then Frank discovered the sprouts and started eating them. Preferably early in the morning, and then he would come and breathe on me while I was still sleeping. Have you ever smelled garlic breath on a cat? Eeeeewwwww! And his poopies stank of garlic as well. So I threw out the sprouts.

Fleas don't like the smell of garlic on the cat's fur.
