Thread: Patrick, the sugar nut

Hello,

Things have been great in our kitty household, with Patrick the MC getting along very well with Raffi the Ragdoll.

One thing though...I would think it was quite strange for cats in general to like sugar as I thought they couldn't taste it?

Now, I obviously do not deliberately feed the cat junk, and he has a strict routine with feeding...but if there's sugar abound he goes completely insane.

Ever since we brought him home he gets a spray with the spray bottle if he jumps on the dining table or hassles us while we eat - they have both learned to wait patiently after we eat and they get a treat if they were good. However...not even the spray bottle deters him from sugary food.

I was eating a cookie and he did everything he could to lick my mouth, and I baked a lemon meringue pie a few weeks ago, and he wouldn't stop howling the whole time it was baking...when I was the making the lemon filling, he wouldn't stop rolling around the floor and meowing - it is so bizarre!

Does anyone else have this happen?
