Cats DO have a sweet tooth!

[Archae]

Well, mine do!

Charlotte loves to clean out Yoplait yogurt cups, and tapioca pudding cups.
(She uses her paw to get the yogurt at the bottom.)

And I don't dare leave any chocolate out, both my cats will eat it if they can get it.
(Which is why I never leave chocolate on the desk if I go to the john!)

1. Cats lack taste buds for sweetness - they can't taste sugar at all.

However, they do like just about anything with fat or dairy, which is probably why they like the yogurt and the tapioca; and the chocolate is oily. I've read that dogs shouldn't eat chocolate, and that might be true for cats also. My cats love yogurt and ice cream but seem to have no interest in chocolate.

2. I used to have a Siamese cat

who would kill you for a donut. I went to bed one time with a paper bag of cider donuts on the table and when I got up in the morning Cato had torn open the bag and taken bites out of each donut.

3. Mine aren't interested in chocolate, but they want anything with a strong vanilla

flavor-- cakes (especially angel food and yellow), whip cream, ice cream, pudding and especially frosting. Just a lick or two and they're done, but it's really the only thing they will become absolute pests over.

4. strawberry pop tart goo

When I was a kid, we had a cat who liked the strawberry goo in pop tarts . . . just strawberry, no other flavors. She liked vanilla ice cream too, but pop tarts! Never could understand that one!
