Why do cats like cake

[soupyspoon]

Ive had a couple of cats now that like cake

I always thought they didnt have a sweet tooth or couldnt taste sweet or something
This one literally went in for the kill on my slice of cake on my plate.

Your lovely cat looks exactly like my Pumpkin

He loves a bit of pancake, or softie (bun)

Other than that he is the fussiest, strangest cat I’ve ever known! He will only eat kitten food, and he either devours it, or have a week or so of just having a mouthful here and there. He has access to dry food too.

He won’t touch anything like freshly cooked chicken, or a bit of tuna, and just because he likes Felix Salmon in the morning doesn’t mean he’ll like it later.

He is the sweetest, happiest, most loving boy ever though, and we just adore him!

My cats will eat anything, literally have to ensure no food is left out! Particularly funny though when we see the tomato stained paws of one of them and know they’ve been at the lasagne!

I also think it is the fat or the eggs they go for.

I don't drink milk so I don't routinely have it in the house, but if I have some in the fridge, mine will come in from where she has been doing an impression of a tabby puddle in the street and cry piteously for some.

She does get some but I have a couple of tiny dishes, so less than half a ramekin.

How funny! I wonder what it is about marshmallows.
(Very apt user name btw) 😀

Watermelon. One of my cats will lick at watermelon for ages.

And the pair of them love the milk that's been in cereal. Otherwise they won't touch it.

Our little house panther likes meringue, Tuc biscuits, cheddar cheese (has to be cheddar), and shortbread. And I found out he liked pizza when I turned my back for a second to get a drink and turned back to find his little kitten face firmly planted in it.

Other cats over the years have loved cream, custard, yoghurt, leek soup, steak and turkey but this one can take or leave a lot of meat.

My recently departed panther loved avocado!

One of mine will take a few bites of anything. He is well fed and spends time outdoors.

I remember a few years ago I was going to be really busy one Sunday so decided to roast a pork joint early, i was going out to see my mum for a few hrs so when it was ready I had a check round the house for our cat nala, she was nowhere to be seen so sat it on the hob ro rest while I went out. I came home and there was nala sat in the middle of the kitchen enjoying my roast pork. Wee basted. Had to run to the shop to find another one to cook. I'm still seething.

One of ours loves banana bread, as we discovered by the tiny teeth marks in the end of a freshly-baked batch one day. She now expects ‘her’ slice each time anyone else has any, and has been known to swipe it out of hands if you’re not eating it quick enough!

I didn't think they did until many years ago I made a batch of fairy cakes, put icing on the top with a cherry and left them on the side ready for when my parents were coming round for tea and cake.

When I next went into the kitchen, he'd eaten all the tops of the cakes, icing and cherry too.

He also ate tinned sweetcorn that was on the side once too.

Strange cat. 😸

our cat will eat anything from cake to curry, Chinese to chips mind she is 21 years old so cannot have done her any harm

One of mine will literally try anything. If it’s good enough for humans then she’ll give it a go! She was disappointed with cucumber though. But she definitely eats cake!

Mine are interested in anything we are eating. Especially cheese.
They get really close and look at us like they are starving.

Mines never got near a cake.. yet.. but goes beserk for strawberry ice cream.
