Re: Your cats around human food


Leo is a nightmare when it comes to human food. As soon as someone walks into the kitchen thats it Leos there and walkin all over the surfaces before you have got in there!

While your making something he'll jump up on the counter, we put him down as soon as he jumps up and this will go on forever!

Then while were eating at the table he'll jump up and try and get as close to the food as possible, again we keep puttin him on the floor.

Re: Your cats around human food


Our cats don't bother that much about human food. They each have one thing that they really like (human food) though and will go absolutely mad for it!

With Mouse, it's strawberry jam.....doesn't matter what it's on, if she smells strawberry jam she wants it! When I have strawberry jam on toast I can't let it out of my sight as she'll sit on it whilst licking all the jam off......makes quite a mess!

Miw is a real oddball. She loves olives! She goes absolutely NUTS when we bring out the olives......she'll stick her head in the dish of them and lick and chew at them. When we give her one, she rolls around on it like it's catnip and licks and chews and just adores it!

Re: Your cats around human food


Those are both fairly amazing things for cats to really like, Tina! I'd love to see a video of Miw with an olive!

Su-ling my sealpoint loved olives! He'd sit on the armchair with my Dad waiting for his olive from the martini! But spit out the pimiento! One year a friend gave him a small jar of olives for Christmas...he was a happy camper!

Re: Your cats around human food


Open a tin of ANYTHING with a tin opener and Smudge is there! I have to show her the contents to prove it isn't Tuna. If it IS tuna she has to have some.

If we have fish and chips from the chippie, Tolly comes and sits on a vacant chair at the table and waits.... and glowers.... and eventually gets a bit!

Re: Your cats around human food


Misty will swipe anything out of your hand if she gets the chance... she will try most things.. Chloe is a little fussy.. she likes ham or raw chicken if I am in the kitchen preparing food.

I caught Chloe eating processed peas recently .. that was funny!

Re: Your cats around human food


My two both LOVE human food... and will do just about anything to get it! I cannot leave ANY box/bag/container of food out or they'll knock it off the counter & chew through it!

I've taken to putting them both in the bathroom while I'm cooking 'cause they double-team me. Jumping up on the counter, while I'm pushing one off, the other snags something out of the bowl, then vice versa!

They'll eat salad fixings too - I was astonished! They'll both eat tomatoes and cucumbers, and he'll eat lettuce too! Also, cantaloupe & apples!!

I think that's very odd BUT they are great pre-washers for my dishes!!
