Thread: Chocoholic Maine Coon?

Bailey haunts me at breakfast time, regardless of what I'm having! Not noticed a chocolate obsession though.

This is called "pica", desire to eat what you are not supposed to. I have never heard or read about chocoholics among cats.
One of my cats eats pages from magazines and catalogs and once ate an important receipt, but never chocolate.

Ours loves to crunch plastic things in his mouth. Bread bags, bin bags, cellophane wrappers.. anything thats like a plastic bag will get "crunched".
Breakfast time.. I have to save a little bit of wheetabix for him else he gets a little "upset"

Hector loves to chew plastic bags in the veg rack, I always find teeth marks in them! Roxy loves to run around with a bag in her mouth (she found my pack of grip seal bags and I keep finding them everywhere!)
Hector also loves custard, ben and jerrys cookie dough, cheese and heinz baby breakfasts! Roxy is a girl after my own heart, toast, cake and pastry crumbs! They both like oatcakes too..........they are a local thing not the cracker type ones they are a bit like a pancake (anyone who really wants to know what they are google staffordshire oatcakes)

Sounds like a lot of MCs will eat anything and everything. Kenny does like to eat all sorts but it's the chocolate that really gets to him - if there's any nearby you can see his nose starting to twitch!

Our MC Whiskey wants to smell everything we eat and drink. He will pester us until he gets a good sniff full. He hasn't found a favorite to eat yet. But he does loves to play with Cheetos Cheese Puffs. His grabs onto them with his claws. Then he will hold up his paw up and flick his paw around until the puff falls off and flies across the room. He will then spring into action chasing it down and start the play all over again. He doesn't have an interest in licking or eating them. He also doesn't have interest in eating Chocolate but he loves chocolate wrappers. He will try his best to jump up and grab the wrapper and run off with it. He loves the crunching noises the wrappers make.

We had an orange tabby Copper that loved cantaloupe. We would place the cantaloupe in a brown bag to ripen. He would eat thru the bag to get to the mellon and practically eat the entire mellon. Thus it had to be rippened in a closed room. You could not cut into a cantaloupe without him getting in the way. Finally, we learned to place him in another room with the door shut until we were done cutting the mellon up. He would carry on in the room meowing and banging on the door (like he was being tortured) until we let him out to eat the skin and any pulp that was left over. His kept him happy while we ate our pieces.

Everyone on his facebook knows that my Buddy had a thing for stealing my chocolate cakes. He loves cheese and has developed a tomato sauce fetish now. (Yes I've even had to put it on his food)
