OMGawd, I DO NOT believe this!

Hey y'all.

I just made a big salad that had cucumbers in it, right? Well one big circular slice fell on the floor. My kitty Nikita started slapping it around the apartment floor like a hockey puck.

THEN.....just now I heard chomping sounds. I looked under this table, and.....he is EATING CUCUMBER.

Correction, he ATE it. Is this for real? This kitty also jumps up onto the bathtub rim and laps up hot soapy bathwater.

I'll convert him into a rawfoodie yet....:D

My cat loves the inside pea in snap peas. I throw it, he tries to catch it, bats it around the floor for a bit, then eats it. They are wonderful and amazing creatures. Right now, he's basking in the sun.....wishing my turtle would come out and play with him. My turtle who is a raw foodie......he's munching on cabbage right now.

[tinystrawberry]

hehe my cat loves cukes too.

[Weazelchef]

I have known cats to love dried apricots..

haha

[codajess]

My cats like a lot of my food, although it isn't part of their regular diet.

[SmilingRawDancer]

My cats attack our grocery bags the second we sit them on the floor, and they drag out pieces of our greens and chew on them for the rest of the day. And they LOVE corn. They chew on our used ears...haha

I've heard that some cats like to chew on wheatgrass. Anyone tried feeding their cat some wheatgrass ?

[freespirit]

I used to grow wheatgrass and my cats would eat it...then they would get sick.
one of my cats loves avocados. she used to freak out over them when she was a kitten.

My cat likes to eat veggies straight from the vine. She won't eat them any other way. I'll put her leash on her and she'll walk along the Earthboxes, sampling everything.

[Raw Mom]

I feed my cat dropperfuls of wheatgrass juice. For his yucky breath and his red gums.....

[The Forager]

one of my cats, Gray, seems to eat whatever I offer him - rather, he licks it. He likes red grapes, and LOVES corn on the cob. He will lick the cob (where I've eaten - not on the kernels!) to no end. He seriously LOVES corn. Amazes me. The other four don't eat any of my food, lol

[Vegan Princess]

My boy cat loves fruit. I actually have to lock him in the bedroom when I eat watermelon, peaches, banana and plums or drink a green smoothie with banana in it. If I leave him out he will actually get in my lap and pull the plate to him. He freaks over those things! I usually save the last little bit of banana for him and he likes to lick it out of the peel. My girl cat could care less about fruit.

Sometimes you can buy "cat grass"...that is really just wheat grass. It's fine for them to chew...and good for them. But if they eat too much I'm sure it would make them throw up.

My dogs eat alot of fruit. They love apples and peaches, & melon.

[unbent]

I lived on a farm as a teenager and we used to raise and sell sweet corn among other things. We would always husk a dozen or so ears for dinner and one day the dog got a hold of one of the husked ears and started eating it. He would lay on the ground with the ear pinned to the ground with a front paw on either end and started chomping away. After that day we would husk an extra one for him to enjoy. One day I actually saw him (he was a collie) go up on his hind legs and push over a stalk of corn, rip an ear off and drag it into the yard where he proceeded to rip the husks off with his teeth and start eating away. I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. My dad used to tell the guys at work about it and he would mention afterwords that he (the dog) preferred it cooked and buttered. ;-})

I wish I had had a video camera to tape him doing this. I could have won Americas Funniest Videos.

Well, folks....

Tonight Nikita started lapping my steaming hot herbal tea consisting of Valerian and rose hips.

Honestly, Russian cats astonish me. (He's bilingual, by the way. He answers to the American beckoning "pss pss pss pss," as well as to the Russian "kiss kiss kiss).

I remember riding horses through citrus orchards. Some of the more mulish ones would hold up the whole lot of us (we cut through in a single line with permission) as they wanted a few oranges or grapefruit.

Also watched a circus elephant eating grapefruit with great skill. He used his big toenail to cut it open and then used his trunk to juice it into his mouth. The first juicer! Amazing.

[veggievamp]

One of my cats comes out of nowhere when I have tomato anything and tries to eat it. Another liked soymilk when I used to use that in cereal, it was if she knew it was milk in the bowl, she did come from a farm tho.
The funniest was my ex's cat, he loved toothpaste! Trying to brush my teeth while he was crawling up my chest was always fun LOL

[meancat]

I have kitties that will eat all kinds of stuff. My tabby Stinky Bear, will eat raw broccoli and anything else he can get his paws on!


My tuxedo cat, Johnny Cat loves all the veggies off pizza (back in the sad days) until I found out not to feed your cats onions--gives them irreversable anemia. He also loves loves loves green olives! Go figure, huh?


And lastly, my cat Tony Balonyhead, and been seriously checking out my
green smoothies--it wouldn't suprise me to see him start drinking them.

Kitties on all sorts of dry food and canned food, even if it's 'health food' ordered for them off the internet (in other words, the best around, even better than Iam's), still suffer from belly problems, and actually need to throw up. They seem to instinctively know this and eat the grass to make themselves throw up, so I was told many years ago. (Maybe research has since shown different.)

I had a raw soaked cashew accidentally fall on my kitchen floor and my cat hockeyed it only for a second til she realized how good it smelled and promptly ate it! LOL But she's had enuf. I offer them now, and she isn't interested lol.


Back in 1982, I had a cat that loved to eat iceberg lettuce right off my plate if he could get away with it lol That stuff has NO nutrition right? lol Go figure...

[MysticTree]

All my cats like melon and several of them like banana. Pineapple is also popular. I have a picture somewhere. The dog eats raw carrots.

CUUUUTEEEEEE !!!!!

I adore this post ! so cute ! now I just want a cat ! yeeeyyy

[freespirit]

We have a great dane and he eats fruit like crazy...melons are a favorite, and if you eat an orange around him you have to clean up a puddle of drool afterwards. durians, bananas, corn, clementines, grapes, peaches, anything. sometimes we give him lemons- he chews on it for a second then drops it and gets the funny look on his face of someone who just ate something tart...its amazing how much personality animals have.
