What's the weirdest thing your cat has eaten?

[Taz_Zoee]

I'm sure Taz has eaten some strange things in his 14 years, but I can't remember anything except bugs. Any kind of bug. When we lived with my parents he got to feast on crickets. Which was just fine with me (I hate crickets!!).

Paizly loves to chew on gift wrapping ribbon. I can't leave anything like that out or she just sits and chews it until it's gone. Other than that, Paizly hasn't eaten anything too strange in her first year. But stay tuned, I'm sure she's going to surprise us someday! LOL

Morgan loves Blistex. If you put some on your lips, it is terribly hard to keep him away from your face and trying to lick your lips.

Oh yes, Moon loves wrapping ribbon!!!!!!!!

Kuhio ~ Canned mushrooms, jalapeno, nachos, cheetos, yarn
Willow ~ Paper, plants

None of the others eat things that seem unusual to me. All my cats have always eaten bugs.

When I was a kid, we had a dog that ate green beans and chewed bubblegum.

MacGyver eats nothing strange, ever. Ming, on the other hand, loves anything plastic! Bubble wrap or bread wrappers are his particular favorites, but anything plastic will do. My boyfriend's two cats love strawberry icecream from Hagen Daz!

My Carly will eat anything and I mean anything. Broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, cole slaw, carrots, corn, mashed potatoes,.........you get the picture. Any human food she will eat.

Mackie absolutely loves yogurt and ice cream. He did eat ribbon one time, but fortunately threw it up!

My rainbow bridge TJ loved, and I mean loved yeast rolls. He was my only one that was indoor/outdoor. I would find him in the trunk of the car looking thru the grocery bags for yeast rolls. I would have to hide them in the oven.

All 11 of them love deli turkey and ham. I really have a difficult time making my husband's sandwhich for lunch daily. The gang is upon me. I try to make 2 to 3 days worth at a time just for that reason.

Of course everyone does the bugs and it is funny watching 11 of them chasing a fly to see who can win the prize.

cat food, people food, bugs, random fuzzballs on the carpet....just about anything that will fit in their mouths, especially Toby's

Lingerie straps were Shahdee's secret treat. I would get a bra or teddy out of the drawer, try to put it on, and then discover it had no straps! I think my Artful Dodger, who could open any door or drawer used to slide the drawer open for her so she could fish them out, then drop them back in when she'd got the straps. For a time I wondered if I was losing my mind, perhaps cutting off the straps in my sleep, because the lingerie was still in the drawer not out on the floor. The thin straps she must have chewed into pieces and swallowed because I never found any evidence and she never blocked. I only understood what was happening when I found a wet bra strap under the bed and then I assumed it was Loki who had a passion for string. The poor guy went through surgery to find all the other straps that had gone missing, I was so sure it had to be him, but they searched him from oesophagus to colon and found nothing. She also loved to eat the middle out of anything made of wool so you could never repair it. The middle of the body of a sweater, or the middle of a sleeve, the middle of a mohair throw. She lived to 17 and died of renal failure.

Teddy adored nuts, especially cashews, and would tear them out of my hand as I moved it to my mouth. He also loved raw oatmeal just dampened with water, and ginger biscuits. His sister, Seshat, also loved oatmeal but it had to be cooked. Dodger had a passion for sun dried tomatoes. Catullus stands on my chest to try and get flavored potato chips out of my fingers. Some of my cats really liked to eat corn-based litter so I had to stop using it.

Filou (an I don't count mango, coconut and avocados) once swallowed a cooked jalapeno when he was a baby. He got a very bad hickup- all the little boy was hiccuping, not just his throat. I was VERY worried as it happened Saturday night of course but he was ok in the morning.
Tigris is good compared to that. The strangest thing he ate was a cold cooked potato. Without sauce
I think a bit of oil for a healthy cat is ok if it is not her standard diet. I would be much more worried with Milly's pieces of string.
Table manners: I am not sure such a thing exists for meezers.... or Abys. Why do you think Juni is called Juni-get-down. Certainly not because her mom never tried to teach her manners

They all love the nachos and tacos from Poco Loco, but that no surprise as Jorge , Janice and Donna day in and day out have one of the best restauants in Hamilton.
