Welcome to Gaia! ::

Is there something you've eaten that your cat(s) also like to eat ? (ex. a snack you bought, cooked meal, raw fish, etc.)

Chelsie LOVESGoldfish crackers... the cheddar ones. She can smell them from another room. 4laugh

Boo likes to beg when I eat italian food. I think its because cats love garlic. Also she likes to sit on my lap and try and eat my sandwich with me. When Bootsie you had to be careful when you made sandwiches. If you turned around to get anythign she would steal the meat and cheese right off your bread and eat it before you realized what had happened.

Whenever we open a can of tuna, we put it on the floor so they can lick it clean. razz All three of them love tuna.

Autumn and Misty are also fond of salmon, but Callie not so much. Autumn also likes lunchmeats.




What is it with animals and cheese, anyway? My cats like to lick the cheese off our plates when were done with our mac & cheese. And when I was staying with my friend, her two dogs would always come running and start to beg when I got out the cheese.

when i first got mitts, i didn't feed him any people food for a whole year. i think it worked, because he's not interested in anything i eat now. sure, he'd sniff every now and then because he's curious, but soon he loses interest and walks away. the closest he's ever gotten to eating people food is plucking a kernel from the bowl of popcorn that i was eating. i guess the salt interested him. but he just licked at it a couple of times and then abandoned it.

because of grumbles' past, i think food is food for her, so she would bug me every now and then when i am eating. she used to munch on slices of bread whenever i make sandwiches and turn my back for only five seconds. she enjoys scraps of meat of whatever i'm eating. she is developing a liking for cream-based sauces as well.

oh, and grumbles loves loves loves beef jerky. she'd eat the whole pack if she could. that was the only time i've seen her to be so persistent. she climbed up on my lap and waved her paws at me and looked at me with big, pleading eyes. when i finally offered her a piece, she happily took it in her mouth, climbed down to the floor, and munched on it with more patience than i'll ever have for beef jerky.

i did have to give up my tuna water (i like including them in the tuna dishes i make) for mitts and grumbles. they love tuna water. it's like their special treat whenever i make tuna mac & cheese for myself.

One of my parents' cats (Phoebe, the purebred they adopted from a shelter mentioned in another thread) stole a brownie from my mom when she was a kitten (we'd noticed that kittens tend to have an affinity to starches that they outgrow), but if you say the "c" word (chocolate) around her now, her ears will perk and she'll give you the eyes of pathetic-ness. We usually cave and let her lick a little off our fingers.

We think Phoebe was introduced to potato chips by her original owners, so she always appears when she hears the crinkle of chip bags, although she gets very affronted if they're of the reduced-salt variety. rofl

They'll all eat your standard meats and fish, and Sephie has a particular love of dairy, so of course she's the only one who's lactose intolerant (we put that together when she stole some pink yogurt of my sister's, and then promptly puked up pink creamy stuff). So every so often she gets cheddar flavored cat milk, and she'll eat the remnants of my mom's oatmeal, and if we're having soy cheese with something we'll let her have some.

My boys have the starch affinity something awful (if I leave a bag of bread out they'll chew through the plastic and then eat the bread stare ) and when we have certain meals we have to close them out of the room because they'll just be awful about it. They're both super curious about a hot oven, but the frantic smacking with a hot potholder while saying "shoo!" has managed to convince them that maybe exploring the oven is a bad idea (although when I cook things I have to fuss over with the oven door open, I just kick them out of the kitchen and make my husband watch them, but with the small stuff it's too much hassle).

Recently my calico cat Minnie begs when ever we sit down at the table as a family since we tend to eat food with meat (turkey chicken beef) when we do eat at the table.
And since she tends to be more loving towards my dad than we allow her to stay and get some table scraps.
The black and whites tend to beg for food from my mom when she does not want to share.
Another favorite "human" food they all seem to like is cheese slices.

Odin will paw at any foodstuff that is in my hand. XD
