My cats are vegan!

[felinelucky]

Of course they're not. But they're absolutely mad for oat milk. We've got into the habit of having catuccino in the morning, aka a teaspoon of oat milk each while I make my coffee. Does this do them any harm, do you think?

They also go crazy for chickpeas and asparagus.

Anyone else's cats have veggie tastes?

I've no particular comment on whether it's good or bad for them but how on earth do they manipulate us into these little rituals! Because they do it so well.

Mine's so greedy he ate a piece of raw courgette I'd dropped on the floor.

My cat loves peas. Her paw will come up and swipe them off the plate, a bit like hungry hippos 😂

she’s fussy as fuck with cat food though 😂😂

Mine loves peas and is also fussy as fuck. And prefers flowerpots to cat beds.

Just give them whole oats soaked in water? My cat's obsessed with oats. Porridge, overnight, muesli (which we don't tend to have in anymore as cats can't eat raisins).

One of my cats used to love broccoli! Very handy when feeding small children who chucked it on the floor!

My dcat has a plate at the table and veg every night....

Our old cat used to love rice pudding

Mango. My old puss loved fresh mango and would stalk you if you ate it.

Tea - she'd dip her paw in my mug of yeah like those old cat food ads on TV then suck it dry and try for another dip....

I can't wait to try them on whole oats and peas!

Mine have trained me by hopping up on the counter, doing that friendly tail waving thing and rubbing their faces up against the oat milk carton.

My old cat used to steal chips from my plate. If we had fish and chips she'd ignore the fish.

Mine is a fiend for baked beans, inexplicably. He will steal them right off your plate if you're not careful.

@OpposableThumbs2 mine do the same with any circular receptacle!

Will definitely give the soaked oats a go.

One of my cats liked cooked chestnuts.

I've had cats that are cream crackers, dry cereal and one that lived carrots and peas.

And yes they trained us all to their requirements.

My Iris (RIP) was a devil for baked goods and would chew through tinfoil to get to them.

Sybil loves porridge. You couldn't possibly risk leaving an unattended porridge bowl on the table on our house. Her routine is to polish off any leftovers from the breakfast bowls every morning.
She quite likes cornflakes as well.

My cat eats the middle out of cucumbers. I don't know quite how but he leaves the skin.

Actually Karl was very keen on porridge too, as a kitten, but he's less bothered now. (And he no longer stands in his food bowls 😁)

One of our ex-cats liked chip shop chips. Another would lick out a bowl of Heinz tomato soup, or tomato pasta. Weird.

I have a carb fiend. Bread, cake, weetabix, chips...

Also love rocket

I occasionally let him lick a piece of bread to death, but other than that I don't indulge him.

Someone needs to tell them that they’re obligate carnivores 😁

I’ve had two vegan cats (obviously 99% carnivore vegans) who loved olives, popcorn and crisps 🤪

This was her trying to mug DH for his ice cream.

As ever, he capitulated. He was appalling at saying no to the 3kg mini-Hitler.

Growing up, we had a cat that went nuts for polo's, to the point where we had to give him his own. He also had a thing for vicks before it was as potent as it is now. His sister had a thing for chocolate digestives and would go nuts over elastoplast and emery boards.
My mother had a cat that would get his claws and teeth out if there was lettuce about.
I've had cats that like :
Baked bean juice
Peas, sweetcorn and rice
Chips
Raisins.
My current cat likes cheesy wotsits and evaporated milk (not together). She has a saucer from an espresso coffee set and I dribble a blob about the Size of a 2p.

Remember cats scavenged around humans because it's easier than hunting. That said some well fed pet cats are pretty keen hunters for fun (not the lazy creature we had who was sick after most non cat foods)
