What's the weirdest thing your cat has eaten?

My RB Meezer Ming was notorious for eating what he wasn't supposed to. Other than the nibbles on the house plants, stealing a piece of meat off the counter, and rubber bands - usual stuff like that - he had a couple that really stick in my mind. Once at a holiday gathering at the house, he drank almost a whole cup of highly spiced eggnog that was left unattended. He was looped, and we were in hysterics watching him afterwards. Eventually, he just conked out and slept it off with no ill effects. But the weirdest was BenGay - he was addicted to it! If I or my ex used it before going to bed at night, we had to close the bedroom door to keep him out, because he would try to lick us all night long. One time he took a direct dose by licking it out of the inside of the cap to the bottle. And he also got caught slurping tinsel off the Christmas tree like it was spaghetti, so we had to quit using tinsel because he just wouldn't leave it alone. He was my funny boy, and all this had no bad outcome, and he went on to live to the ripe old age of 20!

Coco Puff loves romaine lettuce. As soon as he hears me tearing it for a salad, he jumps up on the countertop. I tossed the bottom pieces in the sink and he jumped in and started eating. Actually, I don't think he eats it. He just likes to crunch it.

My RB Puddy loved pizzelles, salt and vinegar potato chips. fudgsicles and Twizzlers. (all junk food)

The rest of the Fur Posse eats fairly normal except for my RB Peeka. She LOVED bugs, especially spiders. Ew!

Snowbelle also eats bugs too, mostly flies. She would chase them around the house until she finally catches them. When we first got her, Snowbelle would like to hop on the counter when my mom would be making potatoes and steal a little bit of it.

My friends cat Gordon is addicted to green olives!

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!!!!!!!!

OMG BenGay!! Our RB kitty CK went NUTS over it! My husband used it on occasion for his back. Once, he had it on, CK came in the room and went crazy, biting the sheets and licking them. It got so bad he peed on the bed, he was so excited! We couldn't get him near it.

On that type of substance-Pinot goes crazy over moisturizer and deodorant. She'll literally try to bite my husband's underarms over Ban Roll On, and she licks me all over after moisturizer...
