What the?! Weird fave foods.

I had a horse that would eat oranges, peel and all. And would just about mug you for spearmint lollies.

One of my cats loooved crocoodile sausages - he only ever got them at the Easter Show, but every year, when you showed him some sausage, he would start yelling and madly pacing until he got some. Didn't eat ordinary sausages though.

We discovered this when white pepper was put down to stop him scratching up a section of carpet. He was found rolling around in it purring and then washing himself before dong it all over again.

Doesn't like Cat-nip though?

Some fun stories here!

I've heard of parrots/budgies like spicy foods, never cats!

Do anybody's birds like cooked noodles?

I'll have to try the pepper for my kitty that isn't affected by catnip. She doesn't have the gene for that aphrodisiacal reaction.
She gets by without it though.

My dog adores chicken curry, and pizza crust and cheese on toas and will beg for almost any human food but I guess she was fed scraps before we rescued her. She likes cooked veg if it has gravy on LOL but although she once begged for banana she wouldn't eat more than one piece

My oldest ferret will do anything for mint-choco-chip icecream. The next youngest is crazy for pepperoni. (I have 4 ferrets) The youngest two are gals and will eat just about anything.

My cat is nuts for soymilk and I can't eat a bowl of cereal in peace unless he is convinced I'll leave a little soymilk (I drink the vanilla flavored Silk brand) in the bottom of the bowl and give it to him when I'm done. Its gotten to a point where if he so much as sees me with a bowl he follows me around until he is satisfied that I don't have soymilk or until I give him some. He is unaffected by catnip as well.

We once had a cat that was crazy about salted peanuts in the shell. She could be asleep in the farthest corner of the house, but as soon as you cracked the first peanut shell, she was there before you could get to the third one. She would sit politely and watch you eat 1 or 2 nuts. If you didn't offer her one, she would reach out & grab your hand in her front claws & guide the peanut to her mouth. Kind of a "This one's mine" gesture. She also really liked cooked green beans.

Posh will do this if I don't give her a tiny piece of my morning soda-bread. she decided this year that St. Patrick's Day is her best friend.

My dogs like guava.

They stole some low hanging guava from the tree that had been wrapped up in a plastic bag to keep the birds away. Who knew that the dogs would get to them before the birds did!?

Then, for some reason, my cat (his name is Puss Puss), loves chewing on plastic. It's weird. On very rare occasions, he has a taste for and a liking to play with orchids at the orchid's expense! :/ Most of the times he's well behaved around the plants though.

I also have a cat (1 out of 3) that LOVES to chew on plastic bags! I freaked out the first few times she did it, thought she was eating it. Nope, she just like the sound it makes when she's chewing it.

There isn't much my animals won't eat. My largest dog has picked oranges off a tree, dug a hole to hold the orange so he could use his front feet to peel it!

And much to my regret, I picked a few cherry tomatoes that had damaged skin and gave them to him. Well, I guess he saw me pick them and decided to help himself. And continues to help himself as long as I'm not looking! Oh, and not to mention his paper fetish! He will beg, very longingly, for the cardboard toilet paper roll! And you better not leave any important papers at nose level, very likely it will not be there later!

My cats will fight over anything that falls on the floor (if the dogs don't get it first!). My oldest cat would actually fight with my african grey parrot, through the cage bars, for little tid bits on the cage floor! (He's the fattest one of the cats, I wonder why!)
I can't have ANY plants in the house, they would be eaten first by the cats and then as they hit the floor, the dogs would finish them off!

My birds love cooked pasta. And they love to play with uncooked pasta! I have one whose favorite thing in the world is pasta and shreds of swiss cheese.

Needless to say, feeding time is easy at my house!
