Do your cats get into YOUR food???

How adorable! My cat, Big Man, loves to eat peppermint candies. It has a cat nip effect on him. Cause when he gets the candy, he hugs it with his paws, smelling of it and rolling over and over in ecstasy! He does the same thing for actual cat nip, so I'm guessing there are mint leaves in the cat nip. What fun!

Our cats are very spoiled and will come right up and try to eat out of your dish if you aren't watching. They love cheese! and meat too.

I'm lucky. My cat won't eat anything but cat food. The only people food I would have to worry about is tuna. She won't touch chicken or any other kind of meat. She'll sniff at something I"m eating, but then she'll usually shake her head and jump down.

My cat loves when we eat ice cream or cereal. She can be in another room or in a sound sleep but she knows when you have either of those. She will sit and wait until you are finished then she will get a little milk or a little of the ice cream. She does love a hand out but she is a picky eater when it comes to human food. She has never gotten on the counter to tear into any food. I find that very unusual that a cat would love cantaloupe and watermelon, sounds like my kind of cat though, he and I could have sat out on the back patio and gone to town on those two. hahahaha

My cat, Whiskers, likes to eat some kinds of people food, but I mostly keep them away from him and have trained him not to eat them. This is because it is actually very bad for them, especially milk. While many people give milk to cats and they love it, cats actually get more suffering then enjoyment out of a bowl of milk. Some advice to you is to do the same with your cat, she could suffer greatly from eating all that food.

I have a few cats and each have their own likes and dislikes. One loves to chew through the plastic bag of soup noodles to chew on the crunchy uncooked noodles. What a mess! I have another one that will knock you down to get to the milk when your pouring it in your coffee. I have another that will jump on your chest to get to french fries and she also loves popcorn. Go figure.

No, my cats don't bother any people food at all. I have them trained to stay off the counters, tables, etc. Only if I'm sitting on the floor watching tv will they ever bother my stuff. If I get up to go to the restroom and forget my cup of tea on the floor, they will drink that. I think a cat drinking hot tea is kind of weird lol.

We have a bread box and it's been left open a couple of times and in the morning we'd find the bag was torn open and bread crumbs was found all over the counter. Having 10 cats, we don't know who did it. I have a few that love butter too and at breakfast time, I have to have butter on my plate to give them or they'll drive me nuts till they get some. Do we love our fur babies or what? lol

i used to have a cat many years ago, called tinker, she was half feral, but big and black and white and fluffy. she would literally take fruit cake from your hand and she would murder for a dunked ( it had to be dunked) digestive biscuit. she loved cold tea as well. the present collection of 5 cats that own me at the moment, are the biggest scroungers in the world. they love cheese, bread and butter, biscuits, and would literally steal the dog food out of his bowl if he let them. the smallest one, felix, has been found with her head in someones teacup, if they leave it by the side of their chair, drinking the cold tea. also many many years ago, when i first got married, my mother in laws cat would steal raw uncooked potatoes out of the saucepan before she had put them on the stove to cook.

I've had many Cats in 50+ years, in fact I can't remember a time without at least one in the house. I've seen them beg or steal many human foods including the 'killer' chocolate and we've had several who wouldn't touch anything except meat. I've yet to meet a cat that wouldn't eat any meat offered unless it was off. I only have to offer one a tiny piece of any meats I'm not sure of and if they turn their noses up I throw it away! The weirdest though is one of my present companions, she's the only cat I have ever known eat most fruit and salad vegetables raw. We can't eat salad in peace when she's around! She eats house-plants too and I no longer have them inside. As I have a dog who loves them too we have to be careful to keep certain things from them. She also loves milk but I give them all Goats milk as it's less likely to cause lactose intolerance. Most cat's have it to some degree. I've been lucky, I've never had one with the leather addiction but I've met plenty through work and showing cats! I say lucky because marking the leather I don't mind but why do they always have to puncture it with those claws? I no longer wear a leather jacket when I'm working! Although your cat may love those doritos and the other snacks, please don't give them to her. What she loves is the cheese flavour she doesn't know that the rest of the ingredients could be bad for her! Never give cereals to cats especially corn, they can't digest it properly.

My youngest cat begs for food from both my hubby and me. My hubby used to give her pieces of his deli meats when he would come home for lunch so, every time someone opens the meat drawer, she will follow them around in hopes of getting some turkey. I have a spoon rest on my stove and, I have caught one of my cats on the stove after dinner, licking whatever utensil I left there when I was done using it to cook. The hubby and I have to be careful not to leave a plate or bowl of food on the table unattended because any one of my three cats might get up there and start eating from it. Anything dairy catches all of their attentions. I almost had cat spit in my Onion and Chive Cream Cheese spread the other day when I turned my back to grab something as I was getting ready to put some of it on my bagel. I caught her in time. LOL!

We don't have official cats but there are a lot of stray cats in our house. They like going through the garbage and it makes a lot of mess. So our helpers decided to just feed them our leftover food and they've been happy about it for the past month. Anyway, it irritates me when the stray cats lick food off my plate! It's so gross! And when they grab uncooked meat from our chopping board.. ew.

Hehe. My cat Kujo, loves bread. He will try to get into the bread so we have to keep it put up. That is the only thing he has ever tried to get into. He will get up on the counter because he wants to play in the sink. Drives me nuts! he will also try to get in the trashcan but never eats anything. I guess he just likes to make a mess of things. Another thing that drives me nuts! Sounds like your cat keeps you busy!

My Cat is SEÑORITO CARRY, he´s very problematic, when he trait drink your milk, first he play in the plate of milk and run for all house T_T. But when is cat food (not milk) he eats your food with calm, he adores these!!!

I think that most pets like titbits of our food. My dog at least used to do that too. After devouring his dryfood he always waited for my small titbit. It was like eating sweets for us after a heavy meal. At least I always look for the deserts on the menu first. © ronaldinu 2008

When i was young we had a cat that would steal whole loaves of bread and pack them off under the bed to eat them. Now the cat i have eats my beef jerky if i buy it and he can find it but he doesn't mess with anything else!

My last 2 cats will not eat people food. Horray!!! I trained them that way. From the beginning, they have been fed only dry cat food, so that is all they would eat. Our next door neighbor has a cat who likes to eat plastic. Any kind of plastic that he can sink his teeth into. Sometimes he cuts his mouth and more, but he still wants to eat plastic.

My cats and dogs are human food thieves. I also have to keep the bread put away. I freeze mine because I only eat fresh bread. I don't like it if it's day old. I'm picky. Freezing keeps it fresh until I finish it. G-d help me if I forget it on the counter. It's gone. My cat Tiger loves Pringles and other potato chips too. She also loves Bisly. Bisly is yummy snack food made from wheat. They come is all sorts of shapes and flavors like barbaque, falafal, onion etc.

My cat likes peanut butter, bananas and split pea soup...thankfully not all together. I grow mint too, just for my cat to roll in. Catnip is in the mint family, so I guess that's were the attaction comes from. Pizza is another 'treat'. I once had company over to watch movies and we got a party pizza, which I left in the kitchen for people to serve themselves. It's a good thing we got one piece, because the next trip into the kitchen found a licked-clean pizza bread & a happy cat washing her face. The replacement we ordered was kept in the livingroom, much to her frustration...lol.

That is too funny because I had a cat that used to eat donuts too. He would paw the box open and lick them all to the point where you could not eat them!! I have a cat that doesn't like to drink from a bowl!! No wait let me correct that, she WON'T drink from a bowl!!! She has to go into the bathroom and drink from a very lightly running tap. It is so funny to watch because she will test the water first with her paw and then lean down with her back feet on the edge of the sink and the front paws in the sink to drink the running water like it is a fountain!!! It's hysterical. I love cats they are so inventive!!!
