I made pasta carbonara tonight. I sat down to cut the peppered bacon into cubes.

[irisblue]

I learned I had to fight all 3 cats for the bacon, pre and post cooked. I knew my dogs LOVED bacon, but the cats demanding it is new.🐾🐾🐾. They still amaze me

[fierywoman]

1. I had a Siamese cat who loved ... cantaloupe!

[irisblue]

3. I made the mistake of teaching the original catpack they could have human food.Majik is last member

Majik gets a teaspoon of coffee cream when I get a cup of coffee. If I get watermelon, he gets some, and shredded cheese is a looonnng demanding wail.
I haven't given the teenage kits human food, they tried grab& go with the bacon. I love bacon, but haven't had it here at home for near a year. The odds are not in my favor in this game.

16. You make me want to have a cat or two again!

[murielm99]

19. I had a cat who liked cooked pumpkin, squash,

tomatoes and cheese.

[TexasProgresive]

21. My Mom had a Seal Point Siamese who would take a bite out of ripe tomatoes.

I specify seal point because they tend to be more Siamesey than other Siamese. LOL
We had a cat that loved peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches.

[fierywoman]

24. Yeah! It was a seal point. Love the way they "talk"!

26. one of my cats liked cantaloupe & green olives. later cat LOVED beans.. stole my pole beans. he

liked tomato juice + my chili. he would eat frozen peas too. corn.......

[samnsara]

2. my 3 dogs ate mud tonight....

[irisblue]

4. Dogs (bunny poop was a high value treat once for the dogs) are gross.

[Duppers]

12. Depends on the pup.

My first Lab and my Border Collie never showed interested in eating any nasty crap. The Lab thought deer poop was cologne, not food.

[murielm99]

18. I have to watch that with our Lab.

She likes to roll in deer shit.

[Freddie]

22. My daughter's Lab

Looks for snacks in the litter box thankfully they have a cat door for the basement.

[KT2000]

9. what is that about?

A neighbor's dog used to do that and I assumed he was really hungry so I got him some dog biscuits.
Why do dogs eat mud?

[appleannie1943]

5. We once had a cat that would try to stick his head in your mouth to get to an olive.

It did not matter if they were green or ripe. He loved them both.

[marybourg]

6. I had a spaghetti lover. nt

[fierywoman]

17. When I lived in Venice (Italy), on the Lido

my older neighbors would cook a little extra spaghetti at lunch time and throw it out to the feral cats. I used to have pictures of wild cats with spaghetti looped around their faces! Cats are great.

[Freddie]

23. One of our cats did too

The late Fred would rub his face against a thing with olives on it but he wouldn't try to eat one.

[appleannie1943]

25. Ours ate them. My mom worked in an Italian restaurant and would sometimes bring a couple home for

my dad and he would share them with the cat.

[japple]

7. I had one cat, 2 dogs and a flock of chickens nearly attack me for

cornbread tonight. Of course it was buttered cornbread!

[Arkansas Granny]

8. When I was a kid we had a cat who loved raw tomatoes.

[Yonnie3]

10. Fresh from the garden string beans were a favorite of my brother's black cat.

I think he got started liking them because of the dab of bacon fat that was put in the pot of beans when cooking them, but he went on to demand raw beans as they were picked in the garden.

Cats, you never know what they are really up to.

[Duppers]

13. Corn.

Grab an ear, remove the husks, and offer the raw, fresh corn to kitties. I was amazed the first time I saw kittens ravish an ear.

[3catwoman3]

11. Our male tabby cat goes nuts for...

...spinach and arugula.

[applegrove]

14. I had pepperets last night (pepperoni). I had to fight off a storm of paws

in attack mode. My cats love any cured meat but I try not to give in. Sometimes I fail at that.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. At my house it's ham.

Milo, a big furry hunk o' purry love, will kill for ham. He'll snatch a ham sandwich right off my plate or out of my hands.

[JayhawkSD]

20. Molly never needs more than a taste.

If I'm having Spam, for instance, she goes nuts as soon as I open the can. I cut off a very small piece and have her sit up for it. She snarfs it down with great enjoyment, gives me a little meow of thanks, and saunters off.

She will do that even if I'm snacking in the living room and she's in my lap. Her little fuzzy eyeballs follow every potato chip from the bag to my mouth, and she will eventually start making moves to climb into the bag. Then I break off a small piece of chip and give it to her, she snarfs it down, then curls up in my lap and shows no further interest in the potato chips as I continue eating them.

It isn't that she decides she doesn't like whatever it is. She eats her taste with every sign of enjoying it greatly.

She's just a little bit of a weird cat. Calico, which explains a lot.
