Vegemite (Australian Marmite)
Antiseptic cream
Olives (Not the black ones even though they are the same just bleached!)
Beer


Any others?



(Just to add I don't feed him these items just that he's had occasion to taste them!)

Current kittens haven't developed anything too odd yet except:

Tissues
Cotton Wool
Tin foil - noticed over xmas if there was an ungaurded mincemeat pie dish where it would be carried off and the game of chase the kitten around the dinning room table took place.

One of the old cats liked:

Ear wax - would actively try and lick inside your ear and if you scratched it would go mental on your finger.
Garlic
Bread
Doughnuts
Garlick & coriander naan bread - but didn't like other types of naan bread.
Lemonade - preferably diet type.

We had a siamese that went mad for stilton and also avocados. Great character.

Our one loves paper bags to sit on for some reason.

And boxes to climb in, as well as your pants to climb into whilst sat squeezing out a No. 2.

hehe I had a cat that would ONLY drink out of the toilet. I bought fancy fountain water bowls, etc, but nope. Being a knob, I ended up having a toilet that ONLY he used, as I didn't want him drinking out of a toilet that was being used.

Interesting as ours will only drink from the bath tap and will demand it be turned on at a trickle! If we don't then that's when the toilet is utilised!

Sitting in a cardboard box and chewing off the sides.

Feet up and peering into the toilet as I pee in it.

Jumping up behind me and sticking her head down the toilet as I am sitting on it.

Scratching round her food bowl.

Meowing like mad for about 15 mins before she goes to the litter tray.

I have 2 cats but only one does the weird stuff.

Have two Birmans. One loves the smell of chlorine, the other likes pickles and will play fetch for hours... Both love sitting in boxes (don't all cats?).

My cat tries to eat any plastic that's crinkly, I used to smoke and he loved the plastic wrapping on fags, he's now moved onto balloon string. Weird.

He's partial to crisps and chips sometimes as well.

Frazzles.
Doughnuts, preferably Blueberry or Raspberry.
Earplugs. Can't leave them out, or chewed ones will turn up all over the place. Including embedded in litter.
Tin foil.
Straws. Go mental for them. Including pulling over any drinks, just to get the straws out.

We have 3 ragdolls, they all have strange quirks. Élan likes red wine, orange juice and gravy. Elise likes Sellotape, licking the glue and our kitten, Zephyr, is just bonkers and likes causing mayhem.

Toes. If you should stand bare foot and ignore Scraggy he will lick your foot and then decide to chomp down on a small toe. Fortunately he's had a lot of teeth removed so you just get a bit of a gumming.

Plastic and tinsel. Christmas was a constant round of taking it in turns to seperate the cat from the tree to avoid massive inpending vets bill to remove bits of semi digested fake tree. She pulls all the baubles off and runs off with them as well.

Cardboard boxes create huge excitement and can be hidden in so efficiently that pouncing on an unsuspecting passer by becomes a great and never ending game. She does look down the toilet when I'm having a wee, peer into the bath while my missus is in it (but not me!), eats Doritos and peanuts and would rather drink water out of a pint glass than her bowl and will tip it over to get to it. Likes beer but not keen on coke.

Megan would happily eat rubber bands and the little wire twisty things that come with new mains leads. I remind her that if she tries it it will be vet time.

I had a cat that liked to chase string. When she caught it she would bite off a couple of inches and eat it. The next day, in the litter tray, it would be like a string of black pearls.

Another cat had a thing for green grapes. Give him one and he would play with it happily for ages.
