My Cat Trixie Just Ate A French Fry! Odd Things Cats Eat....

[KittyWampus]

My cat Felix ate what was left on a plate of spaghetti once...


Several cats I've known have eaten melon and squash seeds.

I've seen Felix catch bugs and eat them.

In fact, My Dad trapped & killed cats in OZ and upon inspection of their stomach contents found mostly bugs. They also found remains of endangered species of mini-marsupials, hence the need to eradicate feral cats in that particular Wildlife Preserve.

Strange things that cats eat....

[CatWoman]

1. Trinity eats just about ANYTHING

I was eating a banana the other night, and she even begged for some of that!!

[merwin]

2. My cat eats deoderant, but only if it's straight from the pit.

Somehow he doesn't like it fresh.

[shraby]

5. One I used to have ate the centers from

cucumbers. I couldn't put the cukes on the table early while fixing dinner cause he'd get on the table and help himself. He also like the centers of muskmelons and would eat watermelon.

[intheflow]

3. Hands down worst thing: tinsel.

Not so bad going down. DISGUSTING when it comes out and drags around behind the cat!

[KittyWampus]

8. LOL! I Can Picture It Actually...

:D

[deadparrot]

4. Cheez-its.

We had them out for a family get-together one day, and we walked in the room, and there she was, on the coffee table, chowing down.

[Skittles]

6. they like cheese a lot

my cat Clancy favors those Cheetohs Puffs

[Jersey Devil]

41. Yes - my cat is nuts for Parmesan cheese

Any plate that has had the slightest bit of parmesan on it gets a through licking after dinner. Some nights, to stop the annoying begging I just put parmesan on her cat food and watch her go crazy.

[mrbill]

42. snowball loves parmesan

she always get a special offering on italian night.

queso with hot stuff is another favorite.

snowball is a cheese freek.

[trotsky]

7. Canned mushrooms

Had a cat once who could have eaten a whole bowl. When I opened a can, I would give him a couple and also let him drink the water from it.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

15. OMG! My ragdoll does too...she crams my hand in her mouth to get more

[Nadienne]

9. My friend has a cat.

I don't know if it eats anything weird, but she says her cat gets really friendly with a big, stuffed Scooby when her cat is horny...

[ktowntennesseedem]

10. Used to have a cat that loved anything from Taco Bell

[KittyWampus]

11. Sounds Like The Original "Smelly Cat"

gaseous cats are stinky.

[ktowntennesseedem]

40. Oh Yes! That cat broke wind like none other!!!

[MuseRider]

12. Not really odd

but I have been iced in at my farm for 8 total days and nights of the last two weeks so I have spent much more time with my farm cats. I always share popcorn with my doggies at home so I was totally surprised that my kitties also like popcorn. I don't know why it was a surprise but it was. At least they don't try to catch it slinging slobber all over the place and if they don't want to eat it they used it for entertainment.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

18. Iced in for 8 days! I'd be climbing the walls!

[MuseRider]

22. Oh honey, I was

with no internet and only a TV with 4 channels but I did get a good education on what the masses are viewing. Drove me insane though. I did have a really good book and LOTS of work to do but it was very cold and difficult. I am back until the next one though. Hopefully this will spur on my hubbys interest in getting our house built.

[Liberal Veteran]

13. Saurkraut....

One of my cats will eat kraut....go figure?

[sasquatch]

14. I had a tomcat that would eat whole tomatos and green peppers by himself

It was funny becasue he was a tuxedo cat with a white face and it would be red after eating the tomatos
:D

[KittyWampus]

16. Awww! Wish We Had A Picture Of That. ALL My Kitties Have Been

tuxedos or black or black and white.

[baba]

20. I love tuxedos!

One of my kitties is a fluffy tuxedo cat.

I have seen mine eat avocados and yogurt.

[CatBoreal]

17. A roommate's cat once ate an entire ball of tortilla dough...

She was making home-made soft tortillas and went to the washroom and by the time she came back, Pirate had eaten the whole ball of dough.

He was one sick fuzz-nose that night.

[CatBoreal]

19. Also had a cat who ate doughnuts....

would go into the Tim Horton's box and lick all the powdered sugar off the jelly doughnuts and steal the chocolate glaze.

Picture a small kitten making off with a chocolate glazed doughtnut that's about 3/4 of his size.

[KittyWampus]

21. kitty with a chocolate mustache?

too funny.

[CatBoreal]

30. Chocolate 'stache...

...chocolate paw prints, because you know, he had to stalk the thing, wrestle it to the ground, bat it around to let this uppity doughnut know who's boss, before he finally subdued it and put it out of it's misery.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

31. Was he okay?

I've read that chocolate is poisonous to kitties.

[CatBoreal]

35. Had the runs the next day....

but "this too shall pass."

[sffreeways]

23. My cat

loves french fries and just about anything else but lettuce.

My dog eats grapes and peels the skin off somehow.

[OhioBlue]

24. kitty begs for what ever I have

I know i should train her better and not give in, but she has eaten mashed potatoes and lasagna. (maybe I should name her Garfield?)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

25. Your cat is not alone!

Observe:



This is the late great Fergie digging into a box of Dairy Queen fries. He also loved Doritos and cookie pieces (no chocolate for my kitties). When I once dropped a plate of spaghetti on the floor, Ferg was there to happily lick up the tomato sauce.

Monty and Simba also love Doritos and cookie pieces, but their FAVORITE human food is biscuits. They will kill me for biscuit bits if I don't offer them, I'm quite sure!

[KittyWampus]

39. Rest In Peace Fergie... And Say Meow To Myrna The Cat If You See Her

[Dave Reynolds]

26. One of mine likes white corn tortilla chips. /nt

[Cush]

27. my cat (Bear) likes crunchy things

crackers, chips, etc

[KamaAina]

28. Broccoli. And the strange thing was...

Winston weighed well over 30 lbs., perhaps as much as 35.

Maybe it's like Popeye eating his spinach?

[Danmel]

29. My late cat Buttons loved Cold Sesame Noodles

He's sit in my lap and wait for me to finish and he'd lick the plate clean! He also really liked Yellow Cake. His favorite food by far though was turkey. On Thanksgiving he'd sit at the oven door meowing and pacing until the bird was done!

[sakabatou]

32. My cat used to lick newspaper.

[B Calm]

33. The Cats in the Wabash River eat Ivory soap.

[Califooyah Operative]

34. One time I fell asleep after a late night of partying....

i left like 3 chicken wings half eaten on a table. when i woke up there were 3 1/2 inch pieces of broken chicken bone scattered about. My cat ate everything on it including a lot of bone, that was months ago, she seems to be fine. hehe,

[Dastard Stepchild]

36. Jolly Rancher Lollipops...

we have to hide the bag because the two youngest kitties will tear it open and lick all of the lollies.

[KittyWampus]

38. Wow! Kittens On A Sugar Rush... Hide All The Shoes, QUICK!

[Dastard Stepchild]

43. More like hide all the papers :)

They like to chew on paper, and when they are all jacked up on sugar, they tear through my papers and files like crazy.

[Bouncy Ball]

37. Her own puke.

[Patiod]

44. Mine will climb up on SO's shoulders to get at pizza

It's probably the cheese she's after. She'll get up there, and then reach down and try to hijack the slice.

As for eating their vomit, I think it's an instictual "don't want predators to know I'm sick" deal.

[koneko]

45. My two will eat pretty much everything

If it's food, they'll eat it. What freaks me is the non-food items they munch on. Even though I grow that "kitty grass" for them to munch on & they don't touch it, they've destroyed several houseplants that I've left mistakenly in areas they can reach. They don't even swallow, they just bite off the leaves & drop them.

Frankie has a fetish for all things plastic. He loves to eat curling ribbon.

It's Beans who amazes me - she likes to gnaw on things like drawer pulls, my bedpost, door jambs, and anything kitty-mouth sized.

She also likes to pick up my glasses with her teeth & walk away with them until she can't carry them anymore. I've had to start shutting them in a drawer to keep her from taking them in the middle of the night.

[Allenberg]

46. Onions

...which causes bad gas in my kitty. :(

[KittyWampus]

49. You Have My Sympathy... An Oniony Cat Fart Must Be Distressing

[Eurobabe]

47. My cat likes yogurt.

[kslib]

48. Iced Tea.

My cat will stick her head in any glass, but iced tea is her favorite! I got sick of picking kitty hairs out of my glass, so she gets a juice glass of her own now. She sure trained me :eyes:

[liontamer]

50. Bags no really actual bags

One of my cats eats plastic bags (she prefers the thin type) another eats brown paper bags (and cardboard) but all three can't resist chewing on a leather bag.

consequences: plastic vomit, brown paper paste vomit and occasionally plastic poop

They also eat flies when they can but that seems more normal

[KittyWampus]

52. Keep Plastic Bags Away From Cats. One Of Them'll Choke To Death

I have a hard time believing you'd leave a plastic bag withing access of your cats.

PLEASE stop this or one of them will end up choking to death.

[liontamer]

57. she seeks them out

she digs through garbage cans in hopes of finding them, She darts into closets and she pounces you if you come through the door with groceries. We think it comes from her time on the streets :shrug:
My other cats aren't as fascinated by plastic and aren't in any danger. but thanks for your concern :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

60. cos clearly cats cannot find their way into things

honestly :eyes:

[KittyWampus]

61. Cats Lack The Ability To Spit Things Out. And When Something Gets

on their tounge... the only option is to keep swallowing. And if the object is long (like a string) it CAN choke them to death.

My post was pretty common-sensical.

All I can say is, if I could NOT keep plastic bags away from a cat who had a predeliction for them... I either wouldn't bring them into the house or I would MAKE DAMN SURE KITTY DIDN'T GET THEM.

But that's just me.

[Strawman]

51. Larry wants whatever I'm having

he will pretty much eat any kind of food if it is in tiny chunks. He's fond of fries, chips, hamburgers, cheese, pepperoni. I only give him a very tiny amount to satisfy his curiosity though since that stuff is probably not good for him.

[dean_dem]

53. Back when I lived in a much messier house....

...my cat used to eat crusty cheese that had fallen on the floor.


Mmmm...floor cheese.


EDIT: I just thought of one more instance- I was eating a donut, and she was standing in front of me eyeing it. I dangled it in front of her, teasing her with it, and sure enough she knocked it out of my hand and onto the floor. I let her have it though, seemed like I deserved it.

[ironflange]

54. Crackers

One of mine will eat any sort of cracker. Saltines, veg thins, Triscuits, you name it. She will rip boxes apart to get at them. We can't figure out what's in the crackers that she wants so badly. She also goes for anything ranch flavored.

[dbt]

55. The Great Bess, Queen of the Jungle was the runt of her litter.

Her first set of Humans managed to pull her through with a few days' worth of white gravy. After that, she developed a taste for Fritos. When she was full-grown, she became enchanted by Cherry Cheese Pie (recipe from Eagle Brand can label). She would carefully remove the cherries from the top, then eat the filling and crust.

She never showed the slightest remorse for eating "people" food, but she balanced it out by constantly bringing me captured rabbits and mice--which I was expected to kill and eat, of course. FYI, there's nothing harder to catch and put back outdoors than a two-strip chipmunk.

What a Badass Kitty!

:loveya:
dbt

[madmom]

56. poptarts n/t

[Bertha Venation]

58. Harry likes bananas. Daddy likes Doritos.

:bounce:

[GreenPartyVoter]

59. popcorn, spaghetti, tomatoes, snakes, tin foil

62. One of mine likes to chew on the plastic tubing

of my sons nebulizer or the plastic airhoses for the fishtank if she can get behind there. She cant eat them, but it's a pain in the butt to try and give your son a breathing treatment and there's little puncture marks up and down the tubing. Duct taped tubing is not a very efficeint way to administer meds to an asthma patient.
