What a complete load of rubbish...I had a cat that liked sweet food. She enjoyed licking the dessert bowl after I had finished :) Sweet food included custard, mousse, ice cream and angel delight...everything a healthy cat needs :)

My mum's cat, Flossie, used to dash into the room as soon as she heard anyone unwrapping a Quality Street. She'd go mad until she got one of her own. Perhaps it was the chocolate...

Re: Why cats don't go for sweet foods
 

Blimey, I never knew that.... although I was aware that chocolate contains chemicals that are potentially toxic for cats.

Come here, Dougal, and eat some of this Spira :naughty:

I had a cat that liked sweet things :confused:

Oh, Dougal is the name of our cat, in case you wre wondering ;)

Well, of you were testing whether or not it liked chocolate that's okay, but if your testing the toxic chocolate bit, naughty ;) :D

Heh, it's my missus' cat and I'm not too fond of him, so I'll leave that up to you to decide. We don't have any rivers near-by so I guess the Spira will have to do!

My cat is like a dustbin - he eats doritos. :erm:

Re: Why cats don't go for sweet foods
 

Don't worry about the cat, but I'd be really scared of your dustbin, if I was you! :Yikes:

A cat can never become vegetarian, whereas a dog can!:scratch:

I wish I was a cat then. I just love chocolate and I wish I didnt have this need for sweet things so much.

Our two will eat anything, pizza, curry and chille being amongst the weirdest stuff so far... :erm:

Re: Why cats don't go for sweet foods
 

My cat is a freak then. She loves chocolate and other sweet stuff... :erm:

My mum had a cat that would eat cucumbers (except for the seeds in the middle).

My old cat used to be obsessed about peas........peas......why :erm:

Re: Why cats don't go for sweet foods
 

Well, in the immortal words of John Lennon, we should all 'Give Peas A Chance' :D




I'll be off

Re: Why cats don't go for sweet foods
 

Well, my cat is rather fussy about food.

He'll eat most food that us humans eat (but does prefer meat), loves cheese, isn't too bothered about sweet stuff (he will eat it, just won't bother if there's something more interesting). He'll kill for fish or chicken flavoured biscuts though (little red packet).

Of the various cat foods we have tried, he doesn't like any branded food (except felix), he also likes Sainsbury's Paws cat food, and will tolerate Morrison's own brand cat food.

Oh, and he will only drink water if he can nick it from the dogs' bowl, and won't drink milk out of anything apart from a saucer.
