Anyone else have a cat that eats cheese?

[underpants]

Our boy eats cheese and eggs. Haven't seen him eat veggies.

He's an older cat and he lost his sister during the summer. We just let him have whatever he wants at this point.

1. Yep.

Cheese and cat farts.

[TexasProgresive]

2. Yes

We've had cats with odd tastes, one liked PB&J sandwiches-just a nibble, some ate green beans and other veggies. My Mom had a Siamese cat that like to take bites out of ripe tomatoes.

3. My cat licks everything, but does not eat it.

She licks:

tuna
salmon
cheese
chicken
beef

She loves tuna water.

4. Yes

Cheese
Avocados
Mushrooms (canned only, never fresh)
Soap (only Ivory, no perfumed stuff!)

5. Yes. Have had two that consider a fingertip dipped in

butter is haute cuisine.

6. Individual cats can have incredibly various tastes

I once had a cat (solid-black male) who loved canned peas. Set some on a dish, he would skewer them individually on a claw and take them to his mouth. The cat I have now can't even be coaxed into eating a bit of tuna or salmon. She would do anything for a cheese cracker, however.

7. I had one that loved sweet corn on the cob!

(cooked, of course!) She had some weird tastes! Even ate green beans (cooked). My most recent kitty loved cheese (American or cheddar; didn't seem to care much for other kinds--smart cat!)

10. I had one that went nuts for cantaloupe

20. My cat Sally Jane loves cantaloupe...

and honeydew melon. She only likes them if they're fresh from the store...and must be cut up in small pieces and then mashed. Spoiled little girl. She's so sweet.

21. Clara only liked the sweet ones

Interesting because cats can't taste sweetness.

8. Both of my cats love cheese!

Shredded Colby/Monterey Jack, I use it in cooking, and the cats love a little cheese I give them.
But only a little bit.

9. My late Tabby loved cheese

I can remember several times microwaving leftover restaurant pasta then leaving the plate to cool while I ran to the bathroom.

Tabby would be eating the cheese by the time I returned. And he LOVED mac and cheese.

11. Friskies has some canned food flavors with cheese

They're called Tasty Treasures.

[jpak]

12. Yes and he loves corn and broccoli

But I don't feed him much of it !

13. The neighbors cats dig me.

One will wait outside the door and dash in when I open it. She knows where the fridge is.

She will eat all kinds of cheese.

14. All of them have. Spray cheese is cat crack& pill delivery

Shaw stole a slice of cheese from cheese & crackers plate last week.😸

15. Our's did

We got the cat when I was a kid.

My mom said we couldn't feed it milk because after the kitten stage they are lactose intolerant.

However, whenever I opened the fridge to make my breakfast, she would be right there meowing.
So, one day I threw her a slice of cheese. I threw it on the floor and there was no messy evidence that I was sneaking my cat dairy.

I did this every day and no diarrhea.

16. A very little cheese is ok

a lot is not.

Our cats declare, "Cheese is what food eats. You put out the cheese. The mice eat the cheese and then we eat the mice."

17. Most of the cats I know like cheese.

It's a dairy product with a lot of protein, which would naturally attract cats.

[FSogol]

19. My experience too. n/t

[mythology]

18. My mom's previous cat loved cheese.

She would come running whenever anybody opened cheese.

I had a previous cat who loved lotion. As in eating it. She would gnaw on the end of the lotion bottle until we would give it a push. It was really strange.

[electron_blue]

22. I did with my first cat until she started losing her fur

She ended up almost completely bald/hairless. The vet said she was allergic to dairy and to remove it from her diet. We did and her fur grew back. Very odd.

[MineralMan]

23. Oh, every cat I have ever owned liked cheese.

Eggs, too.

[Laffy Kat]

24. There is a clinic cat at my vet's named "Colby"....

But everyone calls him "Cheese." Not sure how he got the name, I'll have to ask.
