Food Anomalies

I had always thought that cats didn't care for sugary items. We have about
150-200 hummingbirds that we feed every season. My wife was mixing the
boiled sugar/water concentrate and Rambo started drinking the concentrate.
He also likes popcorn, peanuts, cashews, wheat crackers, turkey bacon, home
made biscuits, etc. He reminds me of Stasher, if I ate something so would
he.

Sneaker needs a bite of whatever I'm eating, but his talent shines with
pastachios. He will take one, crack the shell and eat the nut.

Cats can be sugar hounds. that is why leaking radiator fluid is so dangerous
to cats and dogs. It has a sweet taste and it attracts them

I've had a couple of cats who liked potato chips, one who liked popcorn,
several who'd eat a large enough portion of ice cream to set them
shivering, and one whi, when sitting on my lap, will hoover up any stray
cookie or cake crumbs I spill on my chest while snacking in front of the
TV. As to sugar-water, I never tried any of them on that (but they'll
certainly drink the standing water from any dish I leave in the sink,
even though their own water dish is on the adjacent floor).

One lesson I've throughly learned from living with several generations
of cats - no matter what categorical statement one makes about "all"
cats, there are always exceptions!
