Encore tuna fillets. There have been serious spats over the remains, even when I'd split it in 2 and given them each half at a good distance apart.

Any meat trimmings, but especially from pork tenderloin. Apart from that, always Dreamies!

My boy loves chicken, but drags it onto the rug to eat it there Grin

ReginaaPhalange · 21/11/2021 18:28

The fish from the fish and chip shop (minus the batter). We have to give her a tiny bit otherwise she just stares and meows loudly at you! Or sliced ham!!!

ItsSnowJokes · 21/11/2021 18:32

Literally any floor food dropped from young children. I have a labrador masquerading as a cat I am sure of it. Don't let the face fool you. She has high meat content, organic food, fed on demand and will still eat literally everything else at 5 months old she has eaten mashed potato, peas, chips, ritz crackers, pasta, ketchup, baked beans and a brussel sprout. This is despite me really trying to just keep her on the organic food.

Tuna and salmon cream

supremelybaffled · 21/11/2021 18:44

Sardines.

I've also discovered that many cats are also very partial to swiss roll.

sageandbasil · 21/11/2021 19:01

Ham and edamame beans. He loves them!

Fluffycloudland77 · 21/11/2021 19:06

Roast Turkey thigh joints. I nearly bought one again but it sends her loopy. She’s like a demented animal.

Soubriquet · 21/11/2021 19:08

My Chinese chicken chow mein and chicken fried rice Angry

She will literally hover inches from my plate in the hope she can swipe something without me spotting

I have to throw little bits of chicken on the floor to get her to leave me alone.

Then I have to have a separate little pile for the dogs to have a couple of bits too. It’s a wonder I manage to get any of it

QuestionableMouse · 21/11/2021 19:11

The freeze dried chicken and duck treats. She's mega fussy.

cliffdiver · 21/11/2021 19:15

He's partial to Pringle crumbs.

They have to be salt and vinegar.

NotMyCat · 21/11/2021 19:18

Custard. Or milkshake

Greek yoghurt. She will be fast asleep upstairs but as soon as she hears the scraping of a spoon on the empty tub, she teleports to your side. She's not even properly awake sometimes.

Heinz tomato soup is popular with black and white cat.
Grey cat practically fights me for my porridge bowl.
Tabby boy loves dreamies and isn't overly fussed by human food.
Ginger kitten isn't a human food fan at all.

thefirstmrsrochester · 21/11/2021 19:25

Tuna Mayo, if I make myself a tuna Mayo sandwich and hope to eat it undisturbed, I have to sneak away behind a closed door to eat it.

Cat soup. My cheeky girl shuns her normal fare to hold out for cat soup. She can recognise the size and colour of the packets into the bargain.

I am always rewarded by her rolling about on the floor in delight at being given tuna Mayo or cat soup.

Years ago we adopted a stray. She liked virulent purple black cherry yoghurt and vindaloo curry. Separately.

My Maine Coon would've killed her granny for roast chicken. The breeder warned us, and at 4 months she could sit up and beg. At 20, she was still capable of sticking her claws in my thigh if she wanted something off the kitchen table. I'm left handed, and when there was a promo we used to buy a whole shoulder of pork. There's me at the kitchen table, razor sharp boning knife in hand, she realised I'm left-handed and she used to sneak up and stick her claws in, to make her present felt. She'd lost a few teeth by this stage, so by the time I'd got to the rolling and trussing stage of boned shoulder joints, I used to cut off a bit of meat and skin with a nipple attached and throw it for her. She'd dash off to fetch and gum it to death for about 10 mins. She liked raw meatball mixture - pork, parsley, s+p, lovage and dried bird's eye chilli flakes. Like the stray with curry, I thought offering her some would keep her at a distance. Used to start off with about 80 from a kg of mince. Between dh, dd, and the cat, I was lucky if about 30 made it into the fridge. Obviously as a conscientious cook, I had to taste test a few....

NeverDropYourMoonCup · 21/11/2021 19:40

The freshest, lightly cooked seafood. So much so, if she isn't being a right pain in the arse, I'm instantly suspicious and probably won't eat it.

She's a geriatric fluffball who frequently has to be picked up and put in front of her bowl to remind her to eat. But a freshly cooked prawn, cod from the good chippie, a lightly seared salmon or tuna steak (preferably sushi grade) or meltingly delicate mackerel? She launches at you screeching and will attempt to stick her fluffy paws into your plate or bowl in a cackhanded attempt to steal it from you.

The other things she will deign to eat match up with the other cat's favourites, being largely raw meat - lean beef mince rolled into marble sized balls, venison trimmings went down very quickly yesterday, the scraggy bits of chicken breast or rump steak strips. They will both enjoy some egg yolk from a poached or fried egg if it's made available DP leaves his plate on the side instead of washing it up and she's a bugger for trying to knock the butter dish lid off when she thinks nobody can hear her out there.

His kryptonite food for some reason though, is chip shop chips. He loves them and leftovers have to be binned within seconds to stop him getting his teeth into the things.

How odd. I have that exact cat, who loves that exact brand of yoghurt and you even have 'his' towel in the picture too Shock
FelicityBeedle · 21/11/2021 20:07

Ok it’s not his favourite but I’m sharing this picture far and wide, yes he actually eats them

TheLongRider · 21/11/2021 20:09

It's an M&S towel and Lidl yoghurt but she's definitely a girl cat! Unless you happen to live in Ireland. She did have siblings when we adopted her from the DSPCA.

My cat loves a tiny bit of butter. She also loves the special cat yoghurts!

ISpyCobraKai · 21/11/2021 20:11

My Eponine adores mushrooms, she goes mad for them.
