    Default My cat loves green smoothie!

    I have to laugh. My siamese cat just fought me over my green smoothie (banana, mango, spinach and kale). I let him lick the glass when I was done. I'm not sure if banana is good for cats? But I bet he'll be a healthy little guy if he eats my raw food (though I do know cats are carnivores). Any other wierd things your animals like to eat? :)

    My mom's cat LOVES green beans. She'll beg for them and if my mom sets down a plate of leftover meat and vegetables or something, she'll ignore the meat and just eat the beans! In the summer she buys pounds of them at the grocery store and the little cat will have them polished off within a few days.

    hm... my baby doggies will go outside and chomp on grass or veggie greens, but they won't eat veggie greens purchased from the grocers.

    Default my angel....

    .....loves peas. He's been known to eat lettuce or spinach. The fun thing about peas, is he can chase them around before eating. Anything to make the time pass in the house. My turtle loves broccoli and asparagus.:)

    I have 2 cats the same age and the boy is much more aggressive about my food. He'll usually try to eat most things but he has a love of bananas. I mostly let him just lick the peel. And he went crazy for my smoothie! I'm gonna make fresh pea soup tonight...I think I'll see if he likes to play with peas. That's too funny about the cat eating all those green beans! I'm surprised they don't make her sick. We used to let our cats out to chew on grass when I was little and they always threw up.

    I don't have a cat, but a dog who is super picky. My son's bringing his dog over for next few days for day care, so I will leave some smoothie in a bowl and see if he licks it up. He eats everything. My son refuses to feed this dog healthy but he gets it here. Oh, he loves Alissa's calzone crust that always breaks so I consider it a cracker. It's me, not Alissa. Delish too.

    How quite with all these pets!

    My little dog just loves carrots. She'll do everything for them! In fact all the tricks she ever learned I taught her with the help of carrots Whenever you cut them up she will be there within seconds, she always hears it lol Cukes, peppers and peas goes down as well.. Fruit she has never touched though!

    Fly forever free!

    Iīve heard somewhere that citrusfruits are really dangerous for cats to eat,
    that they might die of it. Donīt know if it is true, but you might wanna be careful about that. Iīm pretty sure they avoid it by instinct. Cats usually run away at the smell of lemons and oranges. Donīt know about bananas and mangos though...
    I once had a cat who loved cucumber! But he also loved milkchocolat and cheesesnacks, that couldnīt have been so good

    I looked online at what is bad...though I pretty much usually avoid giving them most things to be sure. It said onions and garlic are very very bad and tomatos and of course chocolate. I believe there were some others listed too. I didn't see banana. But just in case, he isn't getting much more than a couple licks! He'll have to deal. ;)
