What does your pet eat that they are not supposed to.

(31,516 posts)I don't think a few licks will hurt her. My current kitty doesn't eat anything really strange, but a cat we had when I was a kid loved tomatoes.

(13,583 posts)Us kids didn't like them and fed her enough under the table that she got to like them and found the source! It was really funny. My dad was confounded. What could be scarfing his prized tomatoes like that? He found several stumps, still on the plant. Then he caught her in the act! It was about two hours before a Trixie proof fence was up!

What does she really eat that she's not supposed to? Anything in my cup or on my plate that she can get to before I move her away.
