Thread: scrounging odd foods!!

Amazing, I will have to see if Oscar starts squirrelling things away!! He also drinks water from our drinking glasses too, could this be the start of the water obsession MCs have??!!

Could be, but having said that all my moggies have been partial to a drink from a glass of water on the table. Laggs and Monty love a dripping tap and Monty especially will watch one for ages. Laggs is more interested in stealing the wet dishcloth and running off with it. They are a bit wary of the bath taps though, as they make a hissing noise which they don't seem to like. Also they are a bit confused over the empty bath v. the full bath with person in it and steam coming off.... not worked that one out yet!!

Little cheese snack things too and cheese too. Hector has also nibbled rice from dads plate too but stopped when he tasted the garlic chilli chicken left overs! I dont blame him for that!

Bubba (RIP) was a chow hound. (sorry...)

He'd gobble down most anything he saw anything else eat.

It's tough to ignore a 25Lb cat who is demanding a share of what's on your plate.

From your lap.

The only thing he didn't like to eat was mushrooms. He'd spit those out to the side...

25lb cat!! Would love it if oscar got that big RIP Bubba, sounded like a an amazing cat xx
Giving Hector a head rub while in the bath sounds like a purrfect way to relax!!

all of our cats like to help themselves to things... and love crisps..... including the moggies...

gryfn tried my coffee one day, and kept coming back for more...

Larry likes to get his face in my teacup and will drink some if it's not too hot!

When he has been given (or has stolen) a titbit he takes it in his mouth and runs off with it. When Monty comes up to investigate, Larry makes a terrible growling noise! (and vice versa). It's the only time they growl - when there's a morsel of food at stake (even though there's always some dry food in their dishes). I guess it's their survival instincts being played out. It's so funny to hear it!

We have learned that it's wise not to give them cheese crumbs...afterwards the smell is terrible and enough to clear the room...(if you follow me).

I have been giving Oscar little bits of cheese to nibble on, but havent noticed the smell, Yet, but i have now been warned, thanks!! lol

Hahha.. this thread is great and reassuring. This week, Chester has discovered that he likes: pumpkin soup!!! He has been known to go crazy when there's cheese around and he loves trying to get his paw into my porridge!

As I lean over to get items from the fridge, he now climbs onto my back to inspect what I retrieve!

There seems to be no flies on a maine coon, does there? especially where food is concerned, they wont miss a trick!! Today I have discovered that Oscar likes strawberry yoghurt, a little bit of biscuit, a sniff at a water melon, and my daughter spilt a little blackcurrant squash on herself, which he was also happy to lick up, ohh the joy of having an MC!!
