Re: Human foods?

(Anonymous) 2022-07-08 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
My sister's late cat was a vegetable fiend and a bread addict. Sure, he liked normal cat-attracting foods like chicken and tuna (and turkey-- as a kitten, he got into our house's last ever full holiday turkey), but he went buck wild for green beans, asparagus, corn, artichoke, even cooked carrot. You couldn't have a vegetable in peace. And when he discovered bread, you'd catch him up on the counter where he was not allowed, licking up raw flour... He was also very fond of oatmeal, string cheese (oh, God help you if you wanted to eat string cheese in front of him), and strawberry yogurt-- he WOULD scream if you offered him the wrong flavor of yogurt.

Citrus was the weirdest, cats are NOT supposed to like citrus, but he was built different (and he'd learned that we used a citrus spray to keep him away from things he wasn't supposed to have/bite/climb on, so it was forbidden fruit to him in more ways than one). We also had to work to keep him from serious forbidden things, like onion and garlic and coffee and tea, the little maniac... he lived to be 21, despite a lifelong commitment to finding and eating toxins.

Whipped cream, though... that was his number one. He learned the WORDS, so you couldn't even talk about it without him getting up in your business. Of course he also knew the can-- and could differentiate between the whipped cream can being shaken, and the pam spray can being shaken.

My Momo, who I lost recently, spent most of his life uninterested in human food... unless it was spicy. He always thought he wanted spicy foods when he smelled them. We got so used to being able to trust him as opposed to his brother-cousin, who you couldn't leave ANYTHING unattended around, that one time my sister set down a plate that had had queso dip... poor little guy took one taste and then it was YEARS before he would even accept a freely-given scrap of fish or chicken if it was from a human plate. Of course, once he got over that experience, he was right back to thinking spicy food smelled good...
