Strange food fetishes

Does anyone else's cat have a strange food fetish? My two new meezers are,

One of mine loves steamed broccoli and also taco chips. Another loves yogurt
but not sure that's so unusual.

Chakolate...

Doc will eat anything I offer him, and I offer him anything I eat except
chocolate and onions. Pi, OTOH, won't even eat tuna - he only wants the
water. He'll eat his cat food, pb, and tuna water. I can't even get him
to taste cream.

Then a couple of months ago, I was opening a can of pumpkin. I always
let them sniff any cans that I open, because otherwise they're quite sure
it's tuna and I'm holding out on them.

Both of my guys went ape for the pumpkin. They *loved* it. Pumpkin!
Whoda thunk it?

Tiger (RB) loved raw potato, everyone in the house learnt to sit down
while peeling potato's .
Kitten (RB) loved raw mushrooms.
Katy (RB) loved egg fried rice
Polly loves pistachio nuts, Liquorice Allsorts and sugar. One day I
caught her licking the sugar of some shortbread and mince pies I had
made to take to college for a christmas/end of term party.
PB, Domino and Tuffty like ginger (crystalised, cup cakes and
biscuits), they also like christmas cake and peanut butter.
Big Tabby, Chocky and Smudge don't like anything that's not fish or
meat flavoured.

well, strange. Cougar has a real taste for vegetables. every week it's a new
one. So far we have broccoli, peas, and raw potato. I don't cook our vegies
in sauce, just steamed, so it seems she actually likes the flavour....so
much to the extent that she tries to nick bits from our plate, and carries
them off growling and glaring at the other cats who just look at her like,
'you weirdo. as if we'd want to eat THAT'. And Mango licks plastic bags. Any
plastic bag. doesn't chew, just sits there and has a good lick. They get a
good quality food (I blend Optimum kitten, Purina anti hairball and Friskies
kitten, in equal amounts) and they get chicken and fish several times a
week. Is there any reason for doing this? do anyone else's cats have weird

Sam loved strawberries.

meee...

wow! i didn't realize cats have such varied tastes

NMR...

They are gods we are slaves we can never understand them :-)

NMR...

That is not strange sounds like a typical cat to me

tastes like this?

Kreisleriana...

OMG, I am not surprised at anything my guys will eat. I already
mentioned the pizza and burritos. Potato chips (most flavors),
oatmeal, crackers, cookies, carrots, potatos, broccoli, all kinds of
cheeses, shredded wheat, mushroom soup. They love the scents of most
herbs-- Stinky practically crosses his eyes and passes out into a bowl
of well- spiced soup.

It would feel very strange now, after 17 years, not to have at
least one cat in the house who would eat raw peas.

Pat...

When I lived in AZ I had a female that loved raw millet.

meee...

Lol!! Just discovered she will eat carrot if broccoli isn't available

My current cats' tastes are pretty mundane, but I've had a couple in the
past with different ideas.

Tawny (RB) had a passion for corn on the cob. He would even happily chew on
a cob where the corn had already been eaten off. He trained the other three
we had at the time to feel the same way. Whenever we had corn on the cob,
whe'd cut off the ends to pacify them while we ate, and then give them the
eaten cobs.

Arky (RB) had a thing for bread. He once chewed a hole in the middle of a
brand new loaf of bread. It was in a breadbox with a magnetic lid that
pulled down to open. He figured out how to open the box. I left the bread
in its wrapper and put it out in the trash. A little later, I heard the cat
door. I went in the kitchen, and there was Arky, dragging that chewed loaf
of bread back into the house.

Skeeter (RB) was wild about Miracle Whip, which I prefer to mayonaise. I
once started to make a sandwich. I had spread the bread with Miracle Whip
when the phone rang. I went into the other room to answer it. When I got
back to the kitchen, Skeeter was on the breadboard, licking the last of the
Miracle Whip off the bread.

Fleagor, Millie, and Ozy like watermelon. Millie and Ozy, and a
couple of others like corn on the cob. Millie likes mashed sweet
potatoes. Last night she ate more left over rice and coconut (with
some pot roast juice) than left over pot roast.
