Is there anything she won't eat?

A couple of times a month I'd give her a few sips of milk as a treat.
Somtimes I'd say to her out of the blue (while we were snuggled on the

She'd immediately jump down off the couch and lead me straight to the
kitchen. Right to the refrigerator. LOL

You can't tell me cats don't understand what we're saying. Persia
certainly did. :-D

Oh, they UNDERSTAND us just fine - it's just that they usually don't
care! (Unless it's something they WANT to understand.)

No, they don't understand YOU, Evelyn, because you are at least three
bricks shy of a full load.

What's YOUR problem, moron? (SFAIK we've never had any conversation
until you began to insult me a thread or two ago!)

I've had a couple of cats that loved tomato sauce, but only a few,
most wouldn't come near a tomato.


Many years ago when we had Gaz and Issi I got sent a voucher for a free tin from a new range of catfood, which included tuna in tomato sauce so I thought as it was free I'd see what happened....

The food dish was eventually found twenty feet from where it had started having been licked all the way- they loved it! The same range came up with a turkey with cranberry sauce as a Xmas special....that time I can't remember if we ever found the food dish!

Sweep used to love tinned sardines or pilchards but only in tomato sauce.
It was very useful when I needed to give her pills because the strong
taste hid the taste of the pill.

The strangest food obsession any cat of mine had was
a tortie who lived with me for quite a few years,
and would always want to share my asparagus, eating
2 large stalks.

But one was Cheez-it fanatic, another would just about
kill for a slice of bread, and others were as strange.

That's WHY we love them.

Food obsessions can be startling. Once, many years ago, we had four
cats and a dog. At dinner we had peas and mushrooms in butter sauce.
There was a small amount left over - not enough to save. I put the dish
on the floor, thinking the dog would eat it. One of the cats got there
first. When I checked later, the peas were still there, although the
butter sauce had been licked off of each of them, but what surprised me
was that the mushrooms had been eaten.

I had a post a while ago about "Warning: there are peas in there".
Some cat food I bought thought that it was a good idea to include a
few peas in each can. I have no idea why, it was supposed to be a
healthy food. Anyway, each and every cat simply ate around the peas,
leaving a few bowls, each with one or two totally clean peas left
behind.

Dave had ravoli for breakfast nothing fancy just a tin of Heinz so he ate it amd the next thing he looks round and the white bits of Spirit's face are red. She then proceeded to go to sleep on the plate.

I got in thinking given how fluffy she is (I swear if I shaved that kitten she weighs 2 ounces she is mostly fur) I might have to cut the tomato sauce soaked fur off or even worse give her a bath....

You could have eaten your dinner off the plate apart from some bits of cat hair she'd licked it totally clean before sitting on it

Dave says she was purring up a storm when licking the sauce up and seemed very happy about it...Me? I dug the tin out the bin to make sure it didn't contain anything she shouldn't have eaten. It does contain a tiny amount of onion so now I am worried about that.

She of course gaving stuffed her face on her breakfast then tomato sauce was ready for supper

Don't you just love it how they can pick out what they don't want to eat, and leave them behind?

Cats aren't supposed to eat onions?

butter sauce had been licked off of each of them, but what surprised me
was that the mushrooms had been eaten.

My Zeke used to have a thing about the entire yeast/fungi phylum.
We would occasionally try to make stir-fries using Chinese-style
dried mushrooms, which you need to soak for a few hours before
cooking. With Zeke around we had to secure the bowl somehow or
they'd be gone.

Some of his other favourites were licking yeasty beer off the neck
of a bottle after it had been poured, ditto with bottles of tamari,
and anything with Marmite in it. His bottle-licking technique was
surprisingly elegant - he'd sit up straight on his haunches and
wrap both front paws round the bottle to stop it tipping over.

The most startling one was when we had some guests round and they
each had a bit of torrone (Italian chewy nougaty stuff) with their
coffee. One of them put her plate down on the floor. There was a
streak of black fur and Zeke was out of the door with it. We found
it underneath the piano a few weeks later.

You hear noises, bunkie? Get help.

EvelynNarcissistGamble(Divesforturds) has more than a few screws
loose.

A troll who hates cats posts a flame; I insult him, and Evvy flames
me. Does that make sense to you? Because if it does, then you don't
belong in here.

I have never insulted her before these last couple of posts; hence,
she must be delusional.

No, they aren't. Onions (and garlic) can be toxic to cats. There's all
sorts of info about what human foods cats (and dogs) shouldn't eat.
Chocolate is a biggie, too.

I knew chocolate was a no-no for dogs, but I didn't think that was true
for cats, also. (Never read that garlic and onions had any deleterious
effect - some of the pricier moist foods contain them, IIRC.)
