he is nuts for it, what treats does your cat like?

We had two cats they both craved venison. One would gently claw your hand and pull it to her mouth when you feed her deer meat off your plate. She would eat cooked onions, carrots, cooked greens.

The other one liked raw green veggies, and knew the sound of the cellophane wrap on the lettuce, boy that would send her running for the kitchen meowing until you gave her some fresh lettuce. She would pick out the just right green leaves and eat them, and wouldn't eat the others. Often she would get her one claw in the sink drain to fish out that just right little shred of lettuce that was stuck there from washing up veggies for a salad.. Silly cats..

My male cat loves Cool Whip, cream cheese icing (he will practically mug you for the icing on the carrot cake!) and banana pudding as well. Girl cat is a veggie lover,...... goes wild for diced up cherry tomatoes, asparagus tips, lima beans and blackeye peas.

One of our 5 yr. old cats begs us several times a day for us to hold an ice cube for him to lick down to our fingers holding it.Robert

Bacon, Pumpkin or Squash & any bread product, sock fuzz & threads ( not particular of what type or color) & mineral Oil!
Got to love them!

oh yeah, my hair... Tigger vacuums up any that falls on the floor and he will chew on my pony tail!

Just make sure your cats don't get anything with onion or garlic in it, it don't take much to make them sick and any significant amount can easily kill them!


Hey Mary how is Tigger doing these days?

[MaryB]

Skin and bones but still kicking... vet is clueless as to what is wrong. Friend thinks old age just hit him fast, he was a big cat and they can age quickly. Still spoiling him as much as I can.

my daughters tom made 19 and 1/2 years old. he was the smartest and at times meanest cat i ever saw. but he loved my daughter and she loved him. he never lost a cat fight and helped her grow up. dogs walked way around him.

Our indoor cat (11 years old) went into a downhill weight loss..rapid and unexplained...he was active, ate like a horse and no other symptoms...turns out it was a hyper thyroid condition that is very common in "mature" cats....we had 3 options..first was to just let "nature take it's course" but it would have led to his shorter life...second was to give him a pill to counteract the hyperthyroidism but that pill was an absolute every day kind of thing and he's not a pill taker and that would have been impossible...third was to have him treated with radioactive isotopes where they inject the isotope and it kills the thyroid problem...cure rate is over 90%...but it is expensive. There is also surgery but our vet said it's not a good option and the results are poor so we didn't even consider that.

We figured we would do something rather than just letting him waste away ....we looked at the hassle with the pills and also the cost...we opted for the radiation treatment...he went in for about 4 days and after it was done we had to follow some strict rules as he was radioactive and needed to be isolated and cared for...

So glad we did the radiation...it's been a year..he's been gaining weight steadily and is about to the weigh he was a couple of years ago..very healthy and happy and we think it was the right decision...costly and lots of work for a month after but well worth it all.

We have a black, skinny, big eared , little fellow that likes to eat raw chopped GARLIC ! When I'm chopping it up for a dish I have to race to get more in the pot than he he can eat. That's just weird!

He was tested for thyroid and it came back normal... all metabolic tests are normal.

Green olives and the juice

Yeah, My tuxedo cat too, what's with that ?

She also likes tomato type sauces, will lick any plate clean that had a saucy tomato dish on it. Also Raw Squash and Watermelon...will lick and lick and lick. and then will eat leftover cooked squash.

My other cat, a Calico-tiger blend has NO special likes...unless you count grasshoppers. When She is in the garden with me (only time she is outside) She'll catch hoppers, then play with them til they are near dead, then eat 'em...crazy !

Tigger is an olive eater too, plays with them for awhile then munches them down.
