does anyone's cat eat weird things?

Question

my cat is weird. She eats steak, chilli, ramen noodles, apple cider, and quite a bit of other stuff. What weird things does your cat eat? what are cats absolutely not supposed to have?

Answer 1

Hi there....many cats will eat just about anything their owners eat if given the chance as they do not know what is good or bad for them...they'll even ingest antifreeze. However there are many human food ingredients which can be very toxic to cats such as garlic and onions which cause Hemolytic Heinz Body Anemia...salts causes electrolyte imbalances, etc. Here's a sample list of foods that are toxic to cats and why: http://www.peteducation.com:80/article.cfm?cls=0&cat=1276&articleid=1029

Also feeding table scraps not only may produce a finicky eater but is one of the leading contributing factors for cats who become overweight and other associated medical complications. Please see the following article: http://www.peteducation.com:80/article.cfm?cls=1&cat=1397&articleid=833

Answer 2

I don't have a cat, but I have a dog who'd make your cat look absolutely finicky. She'll even eat the pickles off of White Castles. She eats anything you'd give her, as long as it's human food. The only thing I've tested on her that she doesn't like is bananas. We have to be careful though--she's diabetic, and all she gets is the last bite of anything.

I have 3 cats,2 of them only eat cat food but 1 likes tuna and cheese and margarine.I only give him little bits though.

Answer 4

My cat goes nuts if there is a bag of cheetos around- we have caught her in our pantry with the bag on the floor- only her back legs and tail hanging out....pretty hilarious. Has done that since she was a kitten. My husband had a cat who loved corn chips. I guess they all have their quirks, lfe on science diet would not be a life I would want to live either!! :)

Answer 5

My cat ate a pickle once, a small slice from my hamburger I don't like pickles much but forgot to order it without. I took the pickle out and set in down and he ate it.

Answer 6

my cat would not eat anything but catfood, which i thought was good so i didnt have to worry but my cat gettin into my plate when i need a refill. i always offered him food off my plate but he would smell it and walk away. one day i was was eating some roast beef with some chipotle sauce i got from costco. he attacked it. i put the chipole sauce on other things to see if that was what he liked. this stuff was like crack for my cat

Answer 7

Chili pork rinds, saltine crackers, peppered beej jerky. They are not suppose to eat anything but their own cat food. But so far all my cats are still healthy. Supposedly dairy products (milk) is especially bad for them. Don't know why, but that is what I have always been told and for that I don't give them milk.

Answer 8

My cat used to eat raw endives with mayonaise and was completely crazy for melon. She was and is healthy like hell, so it must not harm her. She's actually retiring in my parents garden since I moved. I think this fresh veggies and fruits for her belong to the past now, I don't know, should check.

Answer 9

Only one of my cats is like that. She'll eat spaghetti, salad, olives, etc. She wants whatever I'm eating. If I turn my back for one second she will make her move for my dinner.

And no she is not under fed, She's a little chubby girl.

Answer 10

That's not weird. My cat eats q-tips, newspaper, that little plastic thingy from the top of milk gallon caps, carpet fibers, strings.
