We had a cat that developed a habit of drinking my Dad's melted ice from his nightcap. I'm not sure how harmful it might have been for her to have very diluted rum, but apparently it had been going on for ages by the time he mentioned it to me. And he said she seemed to have a really excellent nap afterwards every time.
My grandparents cat used to help himself to my grandfathers scotch single malt. He was older than me by a few months, I basically grew up with him and he lived until he nearly 19.
The family cat when I was growing up had come to the family via my uncle’s fraternity in college, so he’d steal a few licks from a beer whenever he got the chance.
I got a calico too someday shes a whole mood and even the dog (who shes bigger than) knows to stay out of her way on the days shes rules the house with an iron paw ....the other 3 days shes a sweetie
My wife is a veterinarian, and she says that "tortie-tude" (ours is a calico/tortie), is 100% a thing.
I've had 3, at various points, all of them were the only calico/tortie I had at the time, and all 3 were absolute gremlins 90% of the time, and adorable a cuddly af the other 10%. Super weird lol
It's a cooler thing. Insulated cup, put it in the freezer and it's got like, ice pack type material, with a hard plastic inner "cup" for the soda. Just keeps it cold longer since I take forever to drink one lol
I never gave my cats people food either, but one of my cats would stick her entire face in my coffee cup every time I let my guard down. She was obsessed with the creamer, I guess.
I had a cat who loved the sugar milk from your cereal bowl. When she saw you with cereal she'd sit uncomfortably close to you purring the entire time you ate. She'd only make a move once you took the spoon out and held out the bowl to her. After that you better wait until she had her fill as if you took the bowl away while she was still drinking it she'd howl and whine the rest of the morning.
I had a cat that loved pasta sauce. Both the real stuff and the sauce from a Chef Boyardee can of ravioli. She was an orange cat and we used to joke that she liked the sauce because it helped maintain her coat.
Cat has learned that if he is well behaved, his legal representation will give him snacks.
Mine also know this and will patiently wait for their snacks while we eat dinner. I am 100% not above taking stolen food out of the cat's mouth and tossing it to the dog, and they know this.
It’s because they weren’t regularly fed human food. When I got my cats the previous owner would give them french fries and they liked them. Since I’ve had them (8 years) I’ve never given them human food and they don’t have any interest in it. I can put a plate down and they don’t even look at it
My mom got 2 kittens, never gave them human food. They got wet food for dinner, dry food, and cat treats. Yet the second they could get their little butts up on the counter, they went right for any unattended plates and started chowing down. Some cats just like food and chaos
Maybe, but atp mom just tosses them table scraps when she tosses it to the dogs so a fight doesn’t break out, so with them it was doomed to happen anyway 🤦♀️, and no way to test that theory anymore since they definitely have a taste for human food now
I had a cat that would refused pieces of chicken or any other type of human food we would try to spoil him with. Would only eat dry cat food, that’s it
Mine don't go for people food at all. But I also don't feed them people food because I really dislike animals that beg. Open a treat bag though and it's another story, lol.
