My cat will not leave me alone
I'm trying to eat lunch -- he wants my Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips. I've never seen him go for anything else as aggressively as he does for these. He's always been crazy about them -- he's 14 and a very big boy. And do I need to mention he's stubborn and spoiled?

3. I have a cat that loves shrimp
She goes crazy for them. She also loves the smell of raw bacon, but I am too worried to feed it to her. I won't even give her cooked bacon. Cats are funny

4. No kidding.
Sun Chip boy (Sam)'s brother, Wrigley, goes crazy for bananas. He doesn't eat them, he just gnaws on them, peel and all. If I forget to put them out of reach, I find them looking like a vampire got to them. They are very odd creatures.

5. My other one is a little garbage disposal.
One time we left a sealed bag of ham on the kitchen table. I came back and found the bag chewed through with some ham missing. :9

12. I had this happen with, wait for it, fruit cake.
The cat in question passed on a year or so ago, at the ripe old age of 18. But she loved fruit cake. I found this out when a distant relative sent a mystery Christmas package, all wrapped up. My wife put it under the tree. A few days later we woke up to find that the mystery package had been torn apart, that there was a rather large hole gnawed into it, and that it was fruit cake. And a certain cat (who was then about two years old) was looking very, very guilty. When she went to pick up the remnants of the fruit cake, the guilty cat made a rush for it - my fruit cake, MINE!!!

The little pirate.

18. That's a new one.
Maybe there was rum in it? Who knows? What a funny story!

8. LOL
Sam doesn't like any other kind of chip or even plain Sun Chips and doesn't care too much for cheese. But Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips? He changes into the Hulk.

13. I once had a cat who really, really loved bread.
We couldn't leave bread out anywhere he could get at it. If we did, he'd tear open the plastic wrapper and gnaw big hunks out of the loaf.

One of my current cats goes berserk at the presence of ham. I can't eat a ham sandwich without shutting him out of the room.

21. Another weird cat fetish.
Edited on Fri Jun-19-09 08:34 PM by Catshrink
Wonder if they were going for the raisins? There are raisins in fruitcake too, right? That's what moondog's cat went for.

22. no, he liked the fatty biscuit.
left crumbs everywhere. The thing is he came running when he heard the opening of the cellophane wrapping on the package, Either that or his nose was acute enough to get the first whiff from one end of the apartment to the other. That, actually, I would not doubt.
