Well, after all these weeks, I have to say Kazicat tops the list. Vegemite!? Those of us who don't live upside down dispute whether it's edible for humans.
I've heard it's nasty stuff, but that's what the Aussies say about our peanut butter....
I'm not from Australia or USA so I'm not really biased http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif but...
Vegemite is delicious, it's a yeast extract with a high salt content and most cats love it
Peanutbutter, don't let the Aussies fool you its more popular here than Vegemite! (and one of my cats likes it too)
okay - we have to defend the good old vegimite - in small amounts, for humans its delicious although I admit it may be an acquired taste (like olives?). Apparently its very popular among cats and dogs as is peanut butter. I confess to being pretty fond of peanut butter too and I have a friend whose cat loves it!
My cat knows when I open a yogurt container and waits until I am done to lick out the container. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
My cats like to lick the bowl of my ice-cream. He loves it, he makes his rounds by getting my whole family's icecream!! HE also likes to throw around q-tips, then he trys to eat them. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/tongue.gif
One of my cats, Hollow, LOVES to eat crickets... but the problem is, whenever he gets one, he ALWAYS throws up... YUCK! Grem Lynne, another of my cats, loves to catch the crickets, but doesn't eat them- instead she puts them in my malamute's food dish! LOL
------------------
Kodak Moment the malamute/husky, Keesha Marie the cocker/field spaniel?, Fuji Film the chow/aussie?, Secretariat and Grem Lynne the unrelated brown tabby and white DSH, Hollow and Sparky, father/daughter black DSH, Cheyenne Autumn my pride and joy TB, Matastar's Morning Star my Rocky Mountain horse colt, and the birds!
My old cat, Blueberry, liked to eat dresses, period.
Raspberry like to eat raw meat and cornbread.
Tabby likes cat food. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/tongue.gif

Maddie loves Pistacchio nuts. She is really good about not eating stuff. But once I offered her a pistacchio and she loved it!
My boyfriend's cat Tardis will eat anything! Carpet fuzz, earings, berrets, rings, pencils, underwear, socks,etc. Recently, while we were gone, he pried open a can of cat treats and ate all of them. And some of the container. Apparently he didn't bother to chew, because when he threw them up again they were whole. He tried to eat them again, but we intervened.
My cat would like to eat lint from the dryer (we do not let him)!! We make sure when dumping the lint out not to drop any otherwise kitty scoops it up!!
my cat shadow eats anything that is a liguid!!! i onca gave him a bit of my freeze and he ate it but i stopped cuz it has a lot of chemicals!!!!!! i als ogave him yogurt, honey and vanilla icecream! only to taste ! my cat won't eat any wet food unless you give it to him from you're hand !!!!!!

We put some hot-dogs on the BBQ a while back and made baked beans, and our 6-month old orange kitten came around begging for food as he always does. I pinched off a tiny piece of h.dog and handed it to him. He sniffed it but would not eat it, and kept staring at me. Finally I just picked out a bean and gave it to him, and he LOVED it- kept asking for more! Now when we have beans, whether it is baked beans or navy beans or whatever, he gets a few. But only a few! If beans effect cats the way they do humans, it's probably not a good idea.....
My big orange cat Murf loves anything with mint. He nibbles the mint plant in the garden, which is good for his digestion.
But he also likes the mint in certain medicines like astringent face cleaner or Absorbine Jr., a rub for sore muscles. These are definitely NOT good for his digestion! So, if I want to use those products, I have to wait until I'm away from the house. Otherwise, I get a sandpaper tongue bath.
And, when I use mint flavored toothpaste, he always waits for a taste. I just put a tiny bit of foam on my finger and he licks it up. Not enough to harm, just enough to satisfy. What we don't do for our pets!!!!

My feline friend, Greymeow, would try on any human food. He has been found eating chestnut cake, chinese herbal jelly, coconut milk, etc. In order to make sure he doesn't miss any good food, he sniffs everything you bring out from the kitchen, especially the fridge! He has once tried the coffee but he didn't like it. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
Several months ago, I fell and hurt my cheek. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/redface.gif I was told that the mark would soon fade away if I rub some vitamin E into it. So I brought home a bottle of vitamin E capsules. I was surprised Greymeow came running when I was applying. I let him taste a little and you guess what, he licked it onto his fur! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
My Thelma likes bananas and kiwifruit ... just to poke her teeth through, however. (She loves the texture of the skin.) If you peel the banana and offer it to her, she has no interest. But I have to store my bananas inside a cabinet instead of out on the counter! She is also a big fan of lettuce (as a toy) and real mayonaisse (no "fat free" for her!)
Thelma also loves my body lotion. It has a pump dispenser, and she loves to lick the little bit that clings to the pump. I have to push her out of the way in the morinings to use the sink.
My Weezie loves plastic bags, rubber bands, and the plastic "ends" of band-aids. I have to be very diligent about keeping these away from her, particularly rubber bands. She will unzip my mother's purse, pull out her wallet (which she wraps in a rubber band) and carry it down the hall in her teeth.

I found out what my cats won't eat. Apparently Haggis is to nasty for my cats. I got some at the Scottish festival, tried a bite, barfed, then brought the rest to my cats. They turned thier backs and wagged thier tails as if they thought I was trying to poison them!
HAGGIS!! :eek: You really thought they would eat that!?!? :confused: ;) :D
What is it??? :eek:
You don't wanna know! :eek:
Cinder & Smoke is right! My husband is part Scottish and I am familiar with Haggis although have NEVER eaten it (and never will)!!

Yeah, Haggis is just going to far apparerently. They have since forgiven me. Haggis is the scottish version of chitlins
More like "gag"is
Haggis!?!? Vegemite just fell to number 2.
My sister once spilled a packet of chocolate raisins on the floor. We only got half of them back, Sam turned into a small vacuum cleaner and polished off the rest! I know it's not good for them, but fortunately there were no ill effects.
We also have to be careful with silver paper, like chewing gum wrappers, kitchen foil etc. Silver paper balls are about the only toy he's not scared of, but he has to be supervised, otherwise he runs off to his food-dish, has his dinner and eats the silver ball for dessert.
Jake LOVES Doritos and any type of cheese. He also likes to eat bean sprouts but only with terryaki sauce! And of course likes to eat anything furry - I made the mistake of buying him one of those little balls of real fur on the end of a string. When I tried to get him to play with it he wasn't interested in the least, but when I put it down, he snuck over the minute I wasn't looking and stole it. As I watched him I realized that really he was just trying to cram it in his mouth (he was pushing it in with his paw) I had to actually pull the string to get it back out!
Now I keep it in my coffee table drawer but I realized that he figured how to open it from the bottom and he keeps tring to steal it and eat it! :eek:
:eek: my little "Charlie" loves to eat Mac & Cheese with me, (Maybe it's the milk!) :confused:
Our "middle child", Abby, absolutely LOVES Spaghettios with meatballs. At first I thought she wanted just the meatballs, but she eats the pasta and the sauce, too. Trouble is, she can't keep the sauce down. So, when I make them for myself, I take a little out and rinse the pasta off so she can enjoy. (She likes it this way, too!) She also enjoys licking the edges of beer bottles. Weird cat! (So thing she's so cute!)
Okay, I'm a baaaaad cat mommy. Both kids enjoy chicken buritos, so there are times when the three of us are in my chair chomping on buritos. (Fortunately I'm the only one in the house that likes shrimp buritos, however odd this sounds to others! Go figure.)
BeeBee (Rainbow Bridge) had her favorite foods - anything with a tomato base like pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce, green beans, and ranch dressing. Trixie likes to lick the plate if there is a tomato sauce, too, but then she tries to "cover" it like it's a litter box!
Misty goes crazy over turkey. When I made a turkey the first thanksgiving we had with her I had a good laugh. She just kept meowing and caring on so I put a piece of turkey on her plate thinking well she must be hungry. Well she woofed that down and begged for more. I think she ate more than I did. Now it is funny if she smells turkey she is a beggar. She likes turkey.
My cat Tigris drinks Budweiser! Its not like we let her or anything, but if someone spills beer on the floor, she'll come and lick it up. Now tell me that's not strange!
Spencer, I died laughing at that cartoon and had never heard of "Get Fuzzy"! Thanks for turning me on to it.
As to odd ingestions, my cat has never been fed anything but kitten/cat food (Iams). I'm probably paranoid, but don't want to risk health problems by introducing food she shouldn't eat. (Hey, not that she doesn't sneak that bit on the floor here and there and there is that matter with flies and other bugs.....I could call her "Renfield")... On one occasion, before her spay appointment, we were told not to feed her the night before. We had let her play with these little "fake mice" that look real.....she was so hungry she chewed the fur and skin off the little plastic mouse body...everything came out "in the end" but she was rather sick the day she came home from the vet hospital until she "purged" the offensive material. Poor boo boo kitty
She was very unhappy with me because I wouldn't let her play with the mice any more unless closely supervised, but mommy cat knows best! :o
Tom loved green beans, bananas, and peas.
Max loved cinnamon rolls, orange juice, and tea.
Clarice loves anything salty!
Tinker loves corn and crackers! She woke us up one morning by banging a door. She had opened the cupboard and the door shut behind her. Well, I suppose she had been trapped for quite awhile b/c she had chewed open a new BOX of ritz crackers, dug out one of the plastic packages, OPENED it, and helped herself to a feast. There were sooooo many crumbs inside the cabinet! :rolleyes:

Noah likes to eat things that aren't food! I just discovered that the plastic coverings at the end of my shoe laces are gone! :rolleyes: He likes to eat feathers, litter shavings from the bunny cage, alfalfa hay, paper, anything small!!
As far as food, he liked the honey roasted soy beans I gave him yesturday! :)
I have to be really careful with my garbage bags and shopping bags because Elvis loves to chew on them! I think I'm going to have to buy one of those garbage cans with a lid and a pedal at the bottom because I'm sure that the plastic is not very good for him.
Silly kitty. :rolleyes:
Thelmalu,
My Weezie has the same garbage-bag fetish. The pedal-type garbage pail has worked well to deter her.
If Elvis can get into drawers and cabinets (like Weezie does) ... consider getting a grocery-bag dispenser that you can hang from a nail (the fabric kind) or mount to the wall (the plastic kind.)
Good luck,
Dianne
