Thread: What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever seen your cats eat?

Where do I begin?

My lot, Storm and Lola in particular, love crisps and will climb up onto your shoulders and pat your hands with their paws as you eat them! They also eat cereal, beans, pasta, prawn crackers....anything that isn't nailed down is fair game for them!

When some of mine went into a cattery, they all decided to eat the silicon sealant from the internal plastic and the cattery owner didn't realise until all these bizarre white lumps started appearing in the litter tray!

Beans? Do they also get the common side effects from beans?

Bruiser loves watermelon.Tries to take it out of my mouth.

I thought wheetabix was odd, but brocolli and celeriac are a different class of odd...

And how's for odder still... Freyja won't eat raw mince beef, and I assumed she'd lap that up!

Both of ours love toast or muffins, but of course they will only eat it if its given to them in tiny pieces! I must show them how big their teeth are one day! As soon as Hector hears the toaster pop he is round your feet chatting away to you being all loving he is so shallow bless him.

Gryfn loves drinking my coffee... and he's tried to help himself to a few things...

Hehe, I've discovered the MC liking for spaghetti, when they thieved some off the dinner table. So I cooked them some beef mince and put a bit of chopped spaghetti in it! Crikey, it was like getting the kids' tea, (not that I have any actual kids).

This is the first time in my 20 years of cat ownership that I've cooked dinner for the cats. I think about what they might like at dinnertime, and shop for it specially. Could be fresh chicken, beef, or fresh fish scraps from the fish van. Failing that, it's a tin of sardines. All topped off with kitten bics. Am I going soft?

Larry and Monty absolutely love to get their noses in whatever we're eating. If they don't actually want to eat it, they'll happily take it away and play with it (fight over it!). Sometimes they surprise me though, for example the other day Monty pinched a leftover slice of steamed green bean...and ate it!

Yep, I think he does. That is so weird.

Since we have 3 rabbits as well, I have often seen our cats try some of their daily vegetables... Apart from that, the strangest thing they once tried to eat, were olives...
