What strange foods do your pets love?

Misty loves carrots, grapes, raisins and bananas.

I just found Cider trying to snatch a raisin from my cup.

Do your pets have any strange tastes? (Poop from your other pets don't count!)

If I left one on the counter he would attack while I was at work.....working at the stem end until he could scoop out the flesh.

Our dog loves fresh peas, and is already prancing around the garden where the pea plants are just barely peeking above the soil.

I must have been writing my post as you were writing yours. I have never heard of another cat loving canteloupe.

And bananas - but they have to be just passed green or she won't eat them.

treat for cats. I read in a book on pet nutrition that it's a good additive to their regular diet (I always thought they liked it because the texture is like raw meat)!

I've met up wards of 20 cats who all loved canteloupe...

She also likes olives, dill pickles, and plain romaine lettuce. No other melon but cantalope, though. I guess she's not so strange, as I see all these other cantalope cats here.

And basically anything I eat (except bread). But he'll come running from anywhere when the knife goes in the canteloupe. And I can never leave tomatoes out. I think his favorite delicacy is lizard tail. Always saving lizards from his ferocious jaws, and they are almost always missing their tails.

I used to have a cat whose favorite was fresh banana nut bread. Had it wrapped in aluminum foil on the counter one night. The next day not a crumb left but shreds of aluminum foil all over the place. That one LOVED bread and hated fruits.

and corn.

I like it but can't imagine any fur-critter loving it. Good taste!

including fruits, berries, and vegetables. According to my 9 year old daughter, though, he only eats green beans on Thursday! ;-)

Considering he's a dog, that's not a real surprise. But, he LOVES vegetables. If we have salad, he requires lettuce. He loves grapes, bananas, and apples. He also likes tomatoes, popcorn, pickles, and yogurt. And, of course, Kleenex and toilet paper.

Basically, he's a fluffy black freak of a dog, but he's very cute, which saves him from being left at the curb on trash day. :P

a stick of licorice every night. Let me tell you he doesn't let me forget. He will sit looking at the candy can (yes a candy can near the TV, I have a real sweet tooth) a lets out this low bark until he gets his piece.

carrots, apples, bananas, watermelon, raw potatoes,grapes, grapefruit, and oranges. Also, peanut butter.

Murphy loves popcorn, toast and any kind of cheese.

Cindy sticks with the fruit and vegetables.

If they hear me scraping carrots,they run from wherever they are in the house and sit in front of me until I give them a piece.

loves Parmesean cheese, pizza crust and is addicted to
ice water.

KC

loved Fruit Loops. She taught herself to pick up the box, tip the Fruit Loops into her mouth, and set the box back down without spilling any. She also loved cheetos, cookies, salad, hamburgers with all the trimmings, and chocolate birthday cake. :)

And just last night, spaghetti (no sauce)

on edit: It's a CAT

Makes them crazy like they are eating catnip.

My cat Zoloft goes nuts over the water from canned sweet peas. He refuses to drink unflavored water.

By ball python liked gerbils.

Fish food is kinda weird, I think. For that matter, so is cat food.

The cattbutt would go crazy fot potato chips.

Who knows?

A mirror response here. Dry dog and cat food, even goldfish pellets. He especially enjoys Pounce chicken treats.

When he was 2 and we were at a friend's house, we caught him at the dog food bowling munching out! Sheesh what a weird kid.

If you opened a bag anywhere in the house, she's come running.

The dog just loves Chinese takeaway- especially pork lo mein.

Which is a shame, because he totally can't digest it and always barfs it back up.

But then Fox barfs a lot. In fact, he wrote a poem about it:

The Great Wheel
By Fox

The more food smells like ocean fish,
The more I long to snarf it.
And once I've snarfed up all its bits,
Then do I long to barf it.
And when I've barfed up what I've snarfed,
I snarf the barf, and then
From snarf to barf, and barf to snarf,
And back to barf again.

Your poem, while disturbing and practically vomit inducing on it's own, is the funniest thing I've heard all day :7

He is quite a prolific writer:

From the time the peas start growing til the end of fall, any time we go outside she'll follow us to the garden and eat as many as we'll feed her. She grabs them out of your hand so hard that I've given up holding them for her cause she's nipped my fingers too many times.

She doesn't really like them cooked though. Only fresh.

I kid you not.

My dachshund loved ice from my glass. He didn't like ice straight, but only with the flavor of Dr. Pepper on it. He also loved puffy cheetos too. I miss Dudley.

Ewwwww - my samoyeds love cat poop.

Good thing the cat is no longer giving out tootsie rolls...

EVERY dog loves those nuggets.

The day the cops bust into her lonely nest
in the cheap hotel up on Hollywood west
July 29

She'd been lyin' there for two or three weeks
The neighbors said they never heard a squeak
While hungry eyes that could not speak
said even little dogs, they gotta eat!

chorus:
She was a winner that became a doggie's dinner
She never meant that much to me
Whoa oh poor Marie

Marie Provost was a movie queen
mysterious angel of the silent screen
And run like the wind the nation's young men steamed
When Marie crossed the silent screen

Whoa she came out west from New York
but when the talkies came Marie just couldn't cope
The public said Marie take a walk
All the way back to New York

Those quaalude bombs didn't help her sleep
As her nights grew long and her days grew bleak
It's all downhill once you've passed your peak
Marie got ready for that last big sleep

The cops came in and they looked around
Throwin' up everywhere over what they found
The handiwork of Marie's little dachshund
That hungry little dachshund!"

WE don't really like tomato so when we get fast food sandwiches or salads we give him tomatoes. Right now, I am giving him a little of the microwavable popcorn that I am eating and he really enjoys it.

She goes nuts when she sees it and tears right into it. She also loves cauliflower. Another bird, who now lives with my ex, absolutely loves my mother's pizzelles. He's also been known to eat fried clams.

If you are eating a cracker beware, she will try to snatch it right out of your hand.

Grover LOVES radishes--- the long, white, icicle variety. Who knew? :shrug:

A couple years ago, I dropped a bottle of Frank's. She attacked it, rolling it around the floor and lapping up what spilled out.

What kind of dog is she?

He is 14 1/2 and his eyseight and hearing sadly are almost gone, but the sniffer seems as good as ever.

Whenever I'm indulging in a Klondike Bar or three, Awsi plants himself beside me and waits for me to dump the wrapper in the trash. At that point he'll frantically tip the trash can over (left paw only, only lefty in the family other than myself!) and retrieve the Klondike wrapper, licking it relentlessly before tearing it into a thousand pieces. Awsi seems to prefer the Heath variety.

Otherwise, he'll devour almost any green veggie but green beans are clearly his favorite. When I pour lefotver stew into his bowl, Awsi will carefully lift out all the offending mushrooms and dump them on the floor before proceeding.

My clever little apricot poodle also does not like his medicine, pills the vet prescribes from time to time. He'll separate and spit out, even when I wrap the pill in fresh lunch meat or choice beef. I have to pry his jaw open and jam them in.

squash, carrots, green beans, peas, onions...I swear, he's be a vegitarian if I would allow it! Most of those veggies are in his "spot's stew" (www.halopets.com) and he picks out the veggies in particular. He's also into chocolate, which he shouldn't have! Puck also likes raisins, but in general, she's a health food nut (only really likes the expensive stuff from the health food stores).

Here's a couple of pics I took today (they are so happy to be back together after Puck's surgery!):

They love carrots, peas, potatoes, peanut butter anything, lettuce, eggs, crackers, and of course any meat.

My dog eats ANYTHING and then poops a kaleidoscope if I don't watch her closely. I have to keep a supply of rawhide bones on hand or

of Puck's habit of eating brigt orange foam ear plugs and then barfing them up! I really have to keep them hidden.

SiouxJ's dog used to eat a kaleidoscope of inedible things as well. She called the colorful after effects "Disney poo", lol!

also rags. His poop was multi-colored. My new dogs don't go "Disney Poop." They are surprisingly good about not swallowing their toys. They still eat them but they spit out the bits. I always find it amazing how they seem to know what is edible and what isn't.

Oh and Boris likes to lick anything made of metal. He's always licking Natasha's dog tags. Maybe he has a mineral deficiency? I won't tell you what Tasha likes to eat. It's too gross for this early in the morning. :puke: They both like to lick lotion off my hands when I put it on too.

kiss me after he eats them for 3 days....and my lab loves to eat whole oranges peel and all

Crazy dog!

that would dig potatoes out of the garden and eat them.

Loves ear wax.

If you rub the inside of your ear she gets up and starts trying to lick your fingers.

What can I say--he liked his "soul food"!

bagels a whole lot. You wouldn't think of them as being a dog favorite. Otherwise, Reba likes most of the usual things. She loves junk food.

... but his starchy side has taken over and his favorite people meal is cheeseburger macaroni hamburger helper. :wow:


:hippie:

He liked it just as much as meat. :shrug:

And loves Bluebell Vanilla. Last week he snatched an ear of corn from the pot while it was still cooking. Damn cat

as long as they think it's "people food". Therir favorites are baby carrots. Careful with the grapes, I have heard that large quantities of grapes can be toxic to dogs, (raw onions and chocolate too!)

After reading what you wrote I searched for it. This link shows that grapes OR raisins can cause renal failure for dogs with as little as one serving:

dog food, and our dog loves grapes.

Charlie loved doughnuts and baked goods, especially chocolate eclairs. One day I went out. When I came back I eventually realized that Charlie had made a slit in the cellophane window of the eclair box and neatly slit 4 eclairs and licked out the custard.

My daughter's Walker Hound is used as an indicator as to whether the stuff in the dishwasher is clean or dirty. If Bailey licks the dishes, they're dirty. If she doesn't, they're clean.

My dog came from a grower friend of mine, (a Fox terrier) and when I'm smoking, he always comes around for me to blow him a hit of my sweet organic smoke, he adores to get high, then lies down by the wood stove and relaxes,...I give him his favorite food every now and then, a piece of choclate cake or tablespoon full of choclate ice cream...and once in a while a tiny little piece of my pot brownies, and he's just wags his tail, sits by the wood stove and is in total bliss...if he hears me nibbling on another brownie he's right next to me in a flash with his big brown eyes wanting more...but I never give him more then one small morsel once in a while. He's a very, very smart, happy, seven year old dog.

I discovered that one night when I was cooking a tofu and vegetable dish, dropped some on the floor, and they came running and gobbled it up, and started eagerly begging for more. I mean, granted, it was already almost fully cooked in soy sauce, but come on. They're CATS. They also enjoy corn, and Rocky (one of the cats) tries to drink everybody's alcohol whenever I have a party. I love my funny, weird kitties. :loveya:

She will go as far as to hop on the desk of chair and bat them out of your hand as they go to your mouth.

Among other things, I've caught him eating the cat's poop and puke, used femine hygene products, and guinea pig droppings- I must admit that the dog's penchant for GP droppings is kind nice since I don't have to go on GP poop searches every time I take the little piglet out. :crazy:

I've even seen him (the dog) eat his own frozen "poopsicles". I mentioned this to the vet and he said it had to do with the dog not getting enough nutrition from the regular store bought dog food. We now buy $40 dollar bags of Eukanuba every three weeks -which has helped stop the dog eating his OWN poop, but he still likes anything else disgusting. I've never had such a disgusting dog.
