Weird things your dogs or kitties eat
My dog loves bananas. I have never figured it out. I bring them in the house, he will bother me until I give him one. But I have to peel it. Had other dogs who liked onions or carrots, but bananas???

them so she could lck the whole top off. once she got to the crumby part.... well, it slowed her down.

3. My kitty loves Cheez-Its.
We've always got to be careful when we put them out for a party--she'll just hop onto the coffee table and chow down. :)

5. Green beans, all sorts of curry, corn chips, and chocolate
for my late great Kitten, the World's Greatest Kitten. BEST. CAT. EVER.

And so cute, that even the vet's he went to (men!) all but squealed over him. :cry: I'll never stop missing that little guy.

7. My dog loves fortune cookies.
If we have Chinese, she will bug the shit out of us to give her a cookie. We have a box of them for her on top of the fridge. We say, "Do you want a fortune cookie?" And she runs to the fridge. Does doesn't ever do that unless we have Chinese. She is a very smart doggie.

9. I'm watching my friend's dog...
...and this afternoon he went for my kid's dirty diaper. My dog doesn't seem so gross now (her favorite snank is compost spooge).

10. One of my cats loves tomato sauce
she will lick a pizza or plate of spaghetti clean if you don't watch her. She also can't abide cat hair on the carpet or floor, if she spies it she will eat it. The other kitty, well she is like Mikey she hates everything.

12. Holy sh**, Thanks Heidi
She has never been/acted sick after eating it. I wonder if cooked tomatos are somehow different. None the less thank you for postng that. She will never get tomato anything again. :scared: :hug:

15. I did some further googling around and found
that the vines, leaves and green fruit are poison, nonetheless I've heard about a cat being poisoned from 100 grams of cherry tomato, so The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger will get _no_ part of any tomato plant. :hug: backatcha.

13. Only the tomato vine is toxic.
You can find a list of plants that are toxic to cats here.

16. Thank you.
We have a sizeable vegetable garden, though, and I'm not taking any chances with our boy. :hi: (He's not attracted to tomato fruit, but he loves to gnaw on almost green, grassy and available. :eyes:)

17. Your welcome.
My overlord cat stays indoors, so it's a lot easier for me to monitor what he eats. :hi:

18. I'm sorry your friend
has crossed the rainbow bridge, ps1074. The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger is my Number 1 buddy and means the world to me, so I understand how profound the missing would be. :hug:

19. My cat is addicted to American Cheese.
She howls for it several times a day and won't give up until I get it for her.

And it's got to be the deli kind, not the pre-wrapped stuff.

20. If I wear Ben-Gay, my cats are all over me. nt
No, they don't eat it, but it can be hard to walk with four cats hanging off me.
