Oh, and Edward loved strawberry milk and smoothies.  And procesed meat (sandwich stuff) - so does Georgie.

Not found anything odd that Mags likes so far - unless you count the fact that he'll eat virtually anything given to him - he's only been here 18 months, so there's still time.

George also like sage & onion stuffing.

Vlad loved pretty much anything edible - wolfed it all - he'd been a stray for a good while, so I think he just couldn't believe his luck that he had food he didn't have to hunt.  He also liked potatoes.  Preferably roasted in veg oil.

Amber likes chinese I think. Put it this way she dug the rib bones out of the bin one time and everytime I have a chinese she sits closer and closer to my plate.
Mogs is convinced she likes anything I have on my plate but as its usually salad I get the 'youre not eating that youre having me on' look
love

My bridge baby Rosie  loved pancakes.

Pod like lots of stuff inc pizza, marmalade, he will swipe at the toast to get it.
He will have his paws in the breakfast bowl to get at the cerial. Mick often stands to eat his breakfast  :-: whils pod is yelling at him.
But its his own fault as he gave pod a taste in the first place. He will also swipe chips off ya plate.
I can be sittin eatin someting watchin telly, and a paw will appear  :sneaky:
Pod wants to taste/sniff at everything i have. His midle name is russle, coz he hears a packet open & he is there, even from a deep sleep.
Rolo yesterday decided he wanted the pastry off a pork n pickle pie. (and flora)

Splitpin likes hola hoops (ready salted)

 :rofl: :rofl: @the jam tart

Jess is quite particular but he does love mash potato and fish cakes

Milo however will literally eat anything. We've caught him lick plates in the kitchen which have had curry on, I think Milo will kill for a poppadom he is always trying to sneak off with one. He loves crisps, biscuits and yogurts if you're eating Milo will be your best friend. I've always put it down to him being a stray and not knowing where his next meal is coming from.

George likes curry. 

Not allowed it, of course, but he is a cat, so occasionally he manages to sneak under the radar...

My little sami when a kitten would walk up and down your arms and across your shoulders to get to the cornflakes soaked in cold milk.  As soon as you swopped hands he ran back up the arm and down the other side, and yes I did try standing up but that got painful as he climbed up.  He also did the same for cheese, crisps, butter, in fact anything he thought he might like, no matter how many times you showed him he wouldn't like it at all.

Byron loves prawn crackers and Schui likes banana.  Not weird but they both have cat milk every morning but Byron, who can't have cows milk always waits for just a little spoon of my milk from cereal at the end - it's barely worth it but she's so eager you'd think she was getting the world bless her!
Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

Not exactly weird but .... we had roast chicken last Sunday, for lunch .  What we hadnt eaten was left in the kitchn to cool off 

When I went to put it away later, I was sure that I had left some slices along side the meat, but there were none.  I didnt think much mor about it ....

We  had the rest of the meat, cold, with a salad, a day or two later.

Ive just found the source of a funny smell in the hall - an elderly  piece of chicken .....

So not only did we indeed originally have slices still cut, we may well have eaten cat licked, kitty slobbered chicken .....

Oh well  :rofl:

I left McLaren in the kitchen for five minutes on his own this evening and when I came back in found him running around with one of my Cadbury Roses in his mouth, luckily still in tact in it's wrapper.  :rofl:  Don't worry I know the dangers of chocolate and cats - I think he thought it was just a nice toy to play with.  Obviously chocolates have now been locked back in the cupboard - maybe it was his way of telling me I had eaten enough. :rofl:

Odd taste in food

I was eating my lunch today and Kylie was really curious, I told her there was nothing she would like (  :shy: ) as she doesn't eat ham etc. Anyway, I let her sniff my ham sandwich and offered her a piece of ham anyway but she didn't want it. I wondered if it was the butter she wanted. She was still "being my best friend"  :evillaugh: - the only other thing I had was a jam tart so I let her sniff it so she would leave me alone. She started licking the jam. Not just a bit - she had a really good go at it  :Crazy:
