What does your cat like eating?

Mine has disappointed me a little as she's not into seafood (I'm pescatarian, I had visions of us sharing prawns).

I read some cats love broccoli, she doesn't.

She loves ham, chicken, cream, cheese.

Although she's normally really gentle and is not a huntress I had to abandon a mini cheese last night as she got really frenzied when she saw me eating it and demanded it. Quite ferociously.

Mainly gourmet, currently hassling me for a third pouch.

He likes beef but not steak, sometimes bacon but never sausage.

He mainly likes chicken, Guinea fowl, ham.

Does anyone's cat like broccoli? Couldn't work out if this was nonsense or not when I read it as mine's a Dr Seuss cat in her eating habits

Cat 1 used to especially like Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream - I used to let her lick the lid. Cat 2 eats anything not nailed down except C0-op own brand cat food

SisterCat - Tinned red salmon, cheese (but only certain types), egg yolks, chicken, milk and cream. I have never had a cat that would eat prawns - they just play football with them!

She catches mice, but never attempts to eat them! In fact, she caught a baby last night!

BrotherCat - anything, including road kill!

One of them is the perfect weight per the vet, while the other is "handsome but fat!" Surprise, surprise!

The only thing mine doesnt like is bananas. He would eat everything else given half a chance. He is very greedy and overweight, its a constant battle to watch his intake. He loves lettuce, porridge, ham, bacon, cheese......

No longer with us but had a cat that used to like eating peas and shredded wheat. Also liked to eat dog food and trained any slow eating dog to eat faster and to finish their meal instead of picking

Both of mine fancy the dog food at the moment, particularly the Chappie which the dog is turning his nose up at! I have to watch that! Other than that, CandleCat1 likes most things, but can't be arsed to catch anything, as that requires him to make a physical effort. CandleCat2 catches, eats then pukes back up whole mice, birds etc. They aren't too keen on fish if I give it to them, but don't mind if someone else does. They both like to lick the end of my ice cream out of my bowl, but CandleCat1 does it with more dedication. Neither of them, despite what the dog thinks, wants his manky, half-eaten bone...

Literally the only thing mine has turned her nose up at is royal canin kitten biscuits. The most surprising thing she has enjoyed is raspberry jam.

We had a cat that would eat anything off your plate. She once dragged and entire pie off my sister’s plate. Fatty likes plastic and the dregs of my tea. Snorg loves baked bean juice.
