Thread: Chocoholic Maine Coon?

I'm new here but have been reading your stories here for a while. My Kenny who will be one year old this month is a chocoholic (which means he fits in pretty well in this house!). We NEVER give him chocolate to eat but I swear he can sniff it out from 100 yards away! He has been know to open a bag, get a chocolate bar out, unwrap it and start to eat it before I discover him. Yesterday, he rummaged through my indoor bin, found a packet that had two stale chocolate biscuits in it, grabbed the packet in his mouth and charged downstairs obviously planning to open it up to get to the chocolate.

Has anyone else found this with their Maine Coons?

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!
