What special treats do your kitties like?

[BreweryYardRat]

Mine (well sort of mine, they live with my mom) love the usual list of stuff: shrimp, chicken, turkey. However, one of them will try to scrounge bites from anything she sees on the table, whether it's a bowl of black bean soup, a plate of broccoli, or a bowl of ice cream.

We used to have a cat who loved cantaloupe, of all things.

1. I have a cat that likes any kind of melon

and many tomato products -- salsa, spaghetti sauce. My other cats are picky and the only human food they like is cheese.

[BreweryYardRat]

3. I think all cats like tomato products.

Mine love the stuff.

[Heidi]

44. I wouldn't allow my cat to consume any tomato product.

11. I forgot, one of my cats likes Junior Mints

I don't let her eat them but she licks the box and plays with it. When I am eating the mints, she is constantly trying to get the box away from me.

[Maineiac]

2. We do not give our cats "people food"

but our orange tiger stripe cat will jump on the table and munch on canned peas if we don't keep an eye on him.

[LeftyMom]

4. Tofurkey and vanilla soy milk. Jesus, even my cat's weird.

:eyes:

[stuntcat]

21. you DID raise a wierdo!

:rofl:

[REP]

5. Scallops, Cake

Every now and then I'll bring home a piece of cake from a bakery, and many of the cats act like I brought it home for them. It's weird. I once had a cat who LOVED Hydrox cookies; I'd buy my once-a-year package and she'd tear apart the package and gorge herself on them.

Thomas is a cat who pretty much likes catfood and not much else, but boy does he love scallops and calimari; I found that out when I dropped some of mine on the floor one day and he hoovered it up. When he feels poorly, I make up a batch of scallops and calimari for him. Yes, he's a little spoiled, but he's a very sweet cat.

6. Don't have a cat now

but an old cat of mine was completely unable to resist these


No matter the consequences (an entire summer of being attacked by the parents) he was just unable to resist eating baby blue-jays. He didn't like people food, he was a great hunter. He'd only give us the parts he didn't like when he caught something (usually feet, tails, and beaks when he got a bird). Anything that was smaller than him was fair game (baby bunnies, squirrels, lizards, rodents, etc).

[kedrys]

7. Each one has his or her own

For Evie, it's breakfast. Eggs, bacon, breakfast bars, kashi cereal...you know, breakfast. :)

Imhotep likes beef fajitas (no cheese) and roasted chicken. He'll beg for the latter.

Neutrino and Quark like itty bitty pieces of hot dog.

The other guys like regular kitty treats, thank Bog.

Plato likes me to blow on his nose so he can get a whiff of what I just ate. He's not necessarily interested in the food itself, just what I ate. It's weird.

[fizzgig]

8. one of my cats

who lives with my dad loves pickles but won't eat chicken, she'll also chew through the bags of bread products and chow down if we leave them on the floor while we put groceries away.

at home, my sweet fat girl goes batshit over french fries and once tried to swipe an onion ring from my hand.

[AwakeAtLast]

13. I have a cat that tears through bread bags, too!

Any time we are eating any kind of bread product, she's right there waiting for her bite.

Both of mine will wait patiently for the ice cream leftovers. :)

[Archae]

15. Oh yes! Ice cream.

If I forget to leave the bowl on the floor for the cats to lick, I get a dirty look that can melt titanium. :-)

[KiraBS]

31. I used to have a cat visitor that would raid our cupboards...

My house was part of his manor... we would find a mountain of Co-Cat dry biscuits on the kitchen floor often.

[femmedem]

25. I have one who eats the bread bags, too.

He doesn't like the bread. Only the plastic. :( We have to hide all plastic behind closed cabinet doors.

For treats, both he and my other cat LOVE freeze dried liver.

[BreweryYardRat]

37. Ugh, our Persian did that.

And our house was a mess, so she could get hold of plastic really easily. You'd chase her off one bag and she'd go find another.

She finally grew a brain stem and stopped after getting major surgery (including spleen removal) for the consequences.

[China_cat]

9. I had a cat who would fight you for bites of

Pupperoni...the dog treat. Absolutely loved the stuff. We lost her last year. She was 23 and aged out of the system.

[Archae]

10. Both my cats love tuna...

Which is only natural, but Erin goes nuts over the yolks of hard-boiled eggs.

I give him a quarter or half of one on occasion.

[ThatsMyBarack]

18. Mine, too!

They always know when I'm about to make a tuna-salad sandwiches, and they BEG me for bites of tuna!

[Archae]

27. Bats have sonar, cats have "tunar."

I don't even have to have the can of tuna out of the cupboard, and both my cats are at my feet, begging. :-)

[carly denise pt deux]

12. My cat goes crazy for green olives

She can smell them when I open the jar and she begs for one.

[stuntcat]

26. sTranGe

neato.. but strange, I think.
This is all making me want to go try out everything on them to see what they like :crazy:

[zanne]

38. I had a cat who did that!

One Thanksgiving, I had the table all set. The turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, three different kinds of vegetables, and a pickle plate with olives on it. I was in the living room trying to get everybody to go into the kitchen to eat, when I hear giggling. I got to the kitchen to see my cat on the table, devouring the olives. No turkey dive. Just olives.

[Critters2]

14. Marinara sauce

If I'm the only thing between Calico Sophie and a dish of spaghetti sauce, my life ain't worth a plug nickel!

[Poiuyt]

16. My cat doesn't like eating broken glass

Otherwise, everything is a treat for him.

[AwakeAtLast]

17. If mine smell yougurt, butter, or bacon they come a-runnin'

One will take the yogurt container with her to get as much out as possible!

It's too funny!

[slj0101]

19. Turkey bacon, pork chops, popcorn, Doritos,

the condesation off the sides of a water glass...

All of these are accidental discoveries. The Dorito thing was an accident. The SO was eating them one evening, and the cat kept bugging her for one. She gave him one to shut him up, thinking he'd hate it.

He didn't.


And he gets table scraps on special occasions (holiday dinners, when we have company, etc).

[GenDem]

20. My cat's favorite treats are the ones she rustles up herself

She finishes everything but some of the internal organs.

[KiraBS]

33. LOL

Mine did that alot... she would leave the bits at the bottom of the stairs so give us a morning surprise.

[AirmensMom]

53. LOL!

:rofl: That's Sylvester's favorite, too! Crunches like popcorn! :9

[MistressOverdone]

22. Empty tuna can

[Kali]

23. corn chips

have to watch her about corn - she will get into the dog food (corn based) and eat that - and of course hack it back up on my bed.

[Roon]

24. Those tiny cans of cat food,fancy feast

Barney and Morrison won't eat human food but Daniel will! So, every know and then I will cook her up a chicken breast. She loves it!!

[idgiehkt]

28. 23 hours a day of bedrest

That's about the only treats they get. Because any others, they'd have to move to make use of, and that would be taxing.

[KiraBS]

29. My cat...

The one in the picture below died in January. She was 20 and I miss her but it was inevitable.
As for treats, she was a demanding so and so and so. She was always looking for food from the table.
It is was chicken, turkey, fish or ham, she want nuts for it, she liked green veg it is had melted butter on it. She loved ham best.
And she loved breakfast food such as toast or cereal, if you ate cereal she would what the leftover milk and bits at the end, she would clean the dish.

I had another cat that loved crisps and ice cream (not together)but we were poorer then so he got less treats.

[SOteric]

30. Dried Shrimp

He'll practically do cartwheels for them.

[anti-everything]

32. One of my cats loves cheese,

the other one is kinds strange, he likes pickles, jalapenos, and Guinness. He also once stole a whole slice of pizza from my girlfriend.

[Kajsa]

34. Darwin likes Kefir-plain, lowfat Kefir.

he also loves ranch dip made with Kefir cheese.

If I put the bowl of dip on the table, he'll eat over
half of it when I'm not looking.

I don't leave it unguarded, anymore.

[GoneOffShore]

35. One of ours did too

And another was a freak for olives!?

[KiraBS]

36. Oh and these things were demanded,

so not exactly treats. She would campaign with maximum noise and disruption, she was relentless.

[Norrin Radd]

39. My cat is obsessed with wheat grass.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

40. Mice

hahahahahahah....

[SeattleGirl]

41. Potato chips!

My oldest kitty loves 'em! If I have some, I have to share with her.

[Drum]

42. I don't presently live with a cat,

but I think they like





I didn't make this .gif, but I do love it so.

[querelle]

43. Doritos

My late kitty Gizmo loved Doritos. I couldn't open a bag of the things without him running from where ever he was in the house to beg for some. He would actually drool while he gave me this pleading look. He would only eat two or three and then go away satisfied.

I sure do miss him.

Q

[RumpusCat]

45. McDonald's French Fries and Ben Gay

Not together, altho' he might like that even more! He LURVES the fries from McD's and goes nuts when I bring them home (it's not often). When I put Ben Gay or a similar product on my legs he tries to lick them and will roll around on the couch where my Ben Gay'd legs were. :crazy:

[MonkeyFunk]

46. mole-bellies

[applegrove]

47. Salmon. My dad gives them salmon.

[ganeshji]

48. Cats are so strange sometimes.

I have one cat who eats olives and blueberries, the kitten likes cheerios and pig's feet.

[unpossibles]

49. my cats like chips/pretzels and cheese

seriously. They usually don't eat it, just lick some salt or sniff and the dog comes by and finishes it off.

But both cats have been known to steal a potato chip or tortilla chip from the bag.

[astral]

50. Shrimp! And . . . . canned asparagus?

My cat goes bonkers for shrimp. I occasionally buy a pack just to give him some for a treat for a few days since I don't buy meat for myself and he's relegated to canned / dry cat food most of the time.

I had a previous cat who went nutso over a can of asparagus, til I finally had to give him some and he was crazy for it so I give it to my current cat too if I happen to open a can. He likes it, and also will eat a few canned green beans but generally is more interested in his canned cat food than in what I am eating.

Once when he was on my lap I was crunching some plain Ritz crackers and he begged me for a bite, and ate one or two nibbles but that was it.

[scarlet_owl]

51. Nico likes anything out of a bag, like potato chips, cheetos, etc.

My stepmom had a cat who liked cantaloupe.

[Jamastiene]

52. I have a cat that goes nuts over Mexican food and

Italian food. Her special treat is Chicken and rice soup when I cook it. Actually, all my cats line up on the kitchen floor and wait when I start cooking. I believe they would hold plates and spoons if they could. They know when I start cooking even before I have all the ingredients out of the cabinets and fridge.
