Do cats eat pears? cantalope?

[KurtNYC]

My neighbor has been putting out pans of fruit and I have no idea why. I wouldn't care but they are breeding 1000s of fruit flies. We have an abundance of skunks lately too. I know racoons will eat fruit but cats?

1. I had a cat that loved canteloupe.

[sadbear]

10. I do think they love the musk melon.

I've had a few cats like that, too.

2. When I was a kid we had a cat that would fight you for a fresh tomato.

I believe he also ate watermelon.

25. My cat loves tomatoes, too -

cooked or fresh. And she likes pumpkin.

5. I had a cat that ate sauerkraut.

She was Siamese, but I think she had visions of taking over the world.

7. I have a dog that eats spinach, sage and arugala

He was begging while I made a salad so I gave him spinach thinking he would spit it out. He loved it.



"Got Spinach?"

9. My two GSDs are

lettuce freaks.

Iceberg. They prefer the crunchy bottom part.

I can't even rustle the plastic bag without one or the other hearing and trying to steal it off the counter.

Yesterday for lunch I made Mr Pipi an egg sandwich with lettuce on it.

Lucy jumped up and tried to snag the piece of lettuce hanging out from the bread slices.

11. my cat eats anything that doesn't eat it first.

When I was a kid, we had a cat that LOVED corn on the cob. When my mother put up corn for freezing, that cat would be right at her side, looking up, waiting for an ear to come her way. Mom would cut most of the corn off the first ear, but would leave a little on it for the cat, and put it in the cat food dish. That crazy cat would go after it hammer and tong until she got all the good corn off it, then lick the cob until she decided she'd gotten all she would get.

14. My late cat Charles loved corn on the cob, too.

He also loved to chew on the husks.

Strange creatures.

12. Our cats love to lick the cantalope rinds after they are cut,,,,

but I have never seen them begin eating the flesh.

They do LOVE marshmallows though!

They lick them down till there is nothing!

13. I once knew one who ate broccoli

oddly, he weighed well over 30 lbs.!

[TuxedoKat]

15. I had one like that too!

But she only weighed six pounds.

16. Could your neighbor just have an uncommon love for fruit flies??

If you look at them close they can be cute.
Well, the ones that are homozygous with the cute gene, at least.

17. My cat would shred my face for cantaloupe.

He also attacks for lettuce, vegan cheese, and rice dream ice cream

[awoke_in_2003]

18. Sure they do...

especially when you tell them not to

[zen_bohemian]

19. Mine don't eat fruit, but they do eat cherry cheesecake and olives

[amerikat]

20. I had a cat that loved cantaloupe. Skunks also

like sweet fruits. I have skunks on my property that eat the pears in my neighbors yard.
Sometimes the pears lay on the ground and ferment. I believe this is where the term "drunk as a skunk"
comes from. Skunks are cute to begin with....when they are hammered up they are hysterically.

21. my persian would wake up from the deepest sleep

for cantaloupe, pears, and pistachios. wouldn't flinch when we opened tuna.

[Curmudgeoness]

22. I used to put fruit out for butterflies.

What I am saying is that if you don't ask, you may never know why.

My cat just stole some sauerkraut off of my plate at dinner today, so I would not put anything past a cat.

23. My girl-friend's cat eats lettuce

[jmowreader]

24. I had a cat who loved hard rolls...

and a lot of cantaloupe-eating cats.

[Brigid]

26. I used to have a cat that loved orange juice.

I'd never heard of that before I adopted him.

[grasswire]

27. My orange tabby Keiko loved watermelon juice best

But he also loved cantaloupe and avocado

RIP lil buddy
