I should have named my cat Twinkie
I got 4 cats, 3 meat-eaters and THIS ONE -











He goes ape shit over these little cakes. He also likes corn muffins, biscuits (he only nibbles on the tops of them) and pie crust. My mother made sweet potato pies for Christmas and made the mistake of not putting them in the fridge. The next morning we found the foil covering the pies on the floor, cat footprints on the pie filling and the sides of crust GONE.

I've had animals all my life and I NEVER had one with a craving for starchy foods. Does anyone have a pet with starchy food cravings? This can't be normal!

1. My cat is cuckoo for Ritz crackers
Sometimes she just licks the salt off of them, sometime she munches on the whole cracker.

5. Both my cats love yogurt
but neither will eat cooked or raw meat, fish, cheese or canned cat food. Just the dry stuff.

Oh, and they nibble on the wheatgrass I grow for them.

6. I know cats that like a little white cake and pastry,especially if it has
animal fat ingredients,and good cantaloupe,green beans,peas,lima beans,and broccoli,and their mother looks just like your cat(but she doesn't seem to care for the vegetables or cantaloupe).

9. My cat goes nuts for donuts...
I found this out the hard way. Little bastard snatched one right out of my hand.

But looking at those pictures, I'm just reminded of that Simpsons episode where Apu yells "Silly customer...you cannot damage a twinkie!"

10. I've got a salad eater.
Believe it or not, the only "people" food he begs for is lettuce or other green leafy veggies.
