Cat eating weird stuff

[heather sullivan]

one of my cats, Moses the Devil cat, prefers human food to cat food. he likes pizza, bacon, sausages, curry, chips, eggs, left over milk in cereal bowls, bread,(that we put out for the birds), yorkshire puddings, mash, in fact anything left on a plate he will stick his face in it! We think he was owned previously by an elderly lady who died and who fed him on tit bits. He was left parcelled up in a cardboard box at the local PDSA, 14 years ago.

For my dinner last night I had  chicken tika and si did Astrophe.  Now thats strange. 
He kept looking at me so I dipped my finger in the curry and he licked it clean  so I put a couple of pieces of chicken on a plate woth some rice and sauce. It was gone in two minutes.  Zoonie wasn't interested.
 They both like mashed potato though. Go figure

Now there's a thought, if they're not too expensive I think i'll invest in one, be nice to know what the little butter is up to

Hi,

I know, lol.  I don't know where he hides it, or perhaps it's a ploy?  Try and look as skinny as possible and i'll get more food?    As it is he's 13lb and not an ounce of fat on him. 

He also mooches food from his ginger mates' house as well as hunting anything he can catch, he has been spotted disappearing into an abandoned factory in the early am, probably for a furry takeout  not too pleased about that but at least I know he's properly wormed, still it does worry me where he's getting to

You should get one of those cat cameras that fit to his collar and I think you can get one with GPS so you can track him.
He is gorgeous

Since the fish food is mostly fish I guess it is quite tasty to cats! The dried mealworms are kind of roasted and also taste a bit like pork scratchings to a cat I imagine
Ours will try anything. Hamster food, dog food, plants, veggies, - if it smells if food they will give it a go! Monty is mad for ice cream and tries to open the freezer to get it!

When I lived at home my parents had fish and both their dogs and cats liked the fish food. So must be tasty.

Holly used to love fish food. Many years ago I used to breed tropical fish and everytime I fed them she would have some. I once found her on the floor with an empty tub she had eaten it all. 

As for insects,  thats what they would eat in the wild as ferall cats, easier to catch than rodents and birds and full of protein so it won't do any harm.

Well cats catch and eat flies and other insects so maybe thats the link.

I think we need to see pics of MR Huge

Hiya,

Does anyone else have a cat that will litteraly have a go at anything?  Merlin already likes fish food.  My hubby was filling our bird feeders in the kitchen and some fell on the floor.  Quick as a flash Merlin got there and scoffed it, I mean dried insects???  What's that about? 

He is a big boy and has a big streak of maine coone in him, but insects?  Yuk, to top it off he watched my hubby hang the feeders, climbed up the fence, hopped up the tree and tried to rob the feeder!! 

You'd think I never feed him, but he gets at least 4 pouches of good quality food a day, has access to biscuits & water 24/7 and also finishes off what the other cats leave, his appetite is eye watering. 

I can't even go in the kitchen without Merlin sounding like a foghorn - he has a voice to match his appetite - HUGE!!!!!!
