(25,970 posts)that there is no food that some cat, somewhere, won't eat.
I had a cat who went berserk for canned sweet peas, spearing them individually on a claw and lifting them to his mouth.
There is one exception, however: citrus fruits. It appears to be like kitty kryptonite.

She also ate sweet corn off the cob. When my mom would start to can corn, cutting it off the cob, this cat would show up at her feet, and look up at her while Mom was cutting. Mom would leave a little bit on the ear, and set it down for kitty, who went after it hammer and tongs! really funny to watch!

(22,270 posts)I have had 3 tuxedo cats who all had a huge thing for corn on the cob. It was so funny.
One of them would steal the cobs and hide them behind furniture. We'd find them when we moved things around looking for lost remotes etc.

(115,831 posts)He also liked the husks, maybe even more than the corn itself. I'd be husking corn and he'd twine around my ankles begging for a husk, which he didn't really eat much of but mostly just chewed on. Same cat who'd tear open plastic bread bags in order to gnaw on the crusts.
Strange creatures they are. Another one liked to chew on the rim of a metal waste basket until his teeth clanked. I never understood that at all.

Never thought to check if she'd like bananas.

(22,270 posts)He went into the garden and bit chunks out of the tomatoes. We thought it was rabbits until we caught him at it.
One time I made him a Faux Bloody Mary : a goblet of tomato juice with a stalk of celery in it.

(4,723 posts)I let my cat smell a banana before I eat it, if she is around. She recoils in horror from it every time, and makes a disturbing face

(38,187 posts)The neighbor's cat also hangs out at my house and raids the bird feeder to eat peanuts and peanut pieces. There is also a silver/gray fox that likes dried fruit, bird seeds, and peanuts. I think every animal outside likes the peanuts I put out for the birds. Niko is an inside cat only, but his eye cross when he smells peanuts and he won't quit meowing and going crazy until he gets one too, lol.
I once had a cat, named Sid, who liked cantaloupe.

She would almost attack them in a way that cats react to catnip. She never wanted to eat them though.

My cat would sit on my shoulder and eat the corn on the cob from one end while I ate from the other end. She liked to head butt my cheek while we were doing that ❤️
She loved cantaloupe too.
And shed come over to face me and meow when I played guitar and sang.
Sweet girl.
