I haven't even tried those. It's a crapshoot trying to figure
out which they might like.

Sounds like people I know!

Cocoa's all about pot roast, chicken, oatmeal cookies, cake,
any kind of cured meat like salami. Hard cheese. She likes
people food. She gets bits and pieces, I can't lie. Not too
much. She feels she deserves to taste what we're having for
dinner.

Cats are funny.

Not only cats) Poppy has to have a taste of everything she is allowed.
Doesn't do too much for her diet though <g>

Ahh it is Christmas)

Out of 4 ferrets, Jackie (the 3rd one) was the only one I
got as a baby and not an older rescue. Think about it though,
she was taken from the litter and lived all alone in a cage
in a pet store. That's also a rescue, albeit a very expensive one.

Anyway, we bonded immediately and she only always wanted to taste
any new food that I made. The other ferrets weren't interested in
much human food.

Each dinner, Jackie was right there with me, checking out all the
food on the plate. I didn't mind. We shared household germs anyway.
I let her eat what she wanted. She was so cool.

She liked raw corn on the cob.

We got our dog from a pet store. Something I never planned to do,
ever. But we were going to a food/jazz festival and were talked
into entering a pet store. She was there in that enclosure, all
bright eyes and sweet personality. A wire fox terrier, so you can
picture it.

We went to the fair and didn't stay long. I said I can't leave
that dog there. So we went back and got her.

We say we rescued her, also an expensive rescue. Moral of the
story, stay out of pet stores.

Some pets are just like that. I never fed my pets much people
food. This one just always asks.

Ha, she ate off your plate. My pets know Don't watch her eating,
you'll get kicked out. Even Cocoa knows Shoo. Waits around the
corner for me to save her a small bite.

I've always offered my cats some of my food, if they wanted it.
Just a taste, not as a meal. Some liked some things, most just
decided it wasn't worth their effort.

One did have a serious liking for asparagus spears, and would
eat 2 full spears. Another loved Cheetos, and would cover her
face in orange powder. And another wanted bread. he would find
ANY WAY to get it, and if he found a loaf, would rip a hole in
the bag and eat several slices.

Walmart and BJs only sells cases, no Loosies... but Chewy.com beats
their prices and they deliver for free. At the small Tops market in
town they don't sell cases, only Loosies, and there are only women at
the cat foods so I don't mind 'conversating'. It's rare I ever see
men in the pet foods aisle at any store... come to think of it I
rarely see men at Petco either. I don't buy cat food at Petco as
their prices are high but they carry a huge selection of cat supplies
like cat toys, beds, feeding bowls, etc. Petco also has live pets so
if I'm in the area I like to browse the store.

My indoor cats like the Friskies that contains bits of cheese but it's
not easy to find. The ferals eat most any cat food but prefer to eat
what they hunt... I can tell they had a good hunt because when they
return to the deck they don't eat any cat food. Lately the possums
have been eating the cat food on teh deck, what a pain, I wouldn't
mind if they ate but those slobs dump the bowls over. I already
trapped one and reloed it to the dairy farm, it's buddy hasn't been
around since. If it returns the trap will go out again. If anyone is
interested Northern Tool has the best traps, much better than
Have-A-Heart.

Friskies has dry Adult cat food, contains far fewer calories, it's for
older less active cats. Dry cat food is very important for cat's
teeth, especially older cats.
