After years of antidotal cat research I have also found that most cats LOVE a bit of pound cake, corn/potato chips, and fresh raw corn.

my housemate’s two former street cats are in fine company. cat #1 goes insane for melon (specifically watermelon), any leafy green, and corn, but loves all veggies (not onions/garlic). he also loves to eat dust- yep, big ol’ balls of lint, dust bunnies, hair, paper, cardboard, etc. cat #2 is just ga-ga for yoghurt, any flavor.

my own cat only likes to eat the grass in the backyard. but i wonder, like you all, what it is about melon, olives, etc, that really drives kittehs batty.

oh, and while i’d like to think that most cats know better, there are definitely those not-so-bright ones that like to eat what’s bad for them (onions, hair, what have you). however, not all “human” food is necessarily bad for cats… although…

well, i’ve recently been doing a lot research on cat nutrition for my own edification- it’s worth checking out on your own. there’s rather a lot of data out there to sift through.

My Stink has a thing for grapevines, or whatever you call the thingies that are left when you eat grapes … she steals them from the garbage unless I bury them REALLLLLLY well. She doesn’t EAT them — just plays soccer with them!
On the other hand, she has very “refained” food tastes: she lurves Brie, and French bread [but not the crusts], and chocolate ice cream, and my spaghetti sauce [which is dolled-up Barilla, but she doesn't have to know that], and lots of other non-vet-approved comestibles.

i think the look on the kittehs face in the freeze frame tells the entire story.
look how thrilled he is to have the melon! and if i ever saw a cat-smile that is one! excellent video!

Hello everyone.

I’m sorry for misstyping ‘melon’ to ‘melone’ at video title, my poor English:).

This is real cat, real video and real fruit. I actually want to get more Tuborg (cat name, yes) videos as I saw them on girls phone only, up to few days I think.

And just thanks to everyone for watching it and writing all that comments, you can’t imagine how girls are happy that more then hundred thousands of people saw that video olready:).

Kind regards, Victor

Yeah, I’m also thinking the later consequences of this binge might not be so cute.

I once caught my eldest furball chewing on mango peel. I put that down to the fact that he was a recent rescue then and had probably gotten used to eating anything he could get his paws on, but I suppose it’s like them eating grass and / or is mostly for the water content.

Somebody should do a study: maybe the odd melon slice might be a good idea for indoor kitties who don’t go out and chew grass?

LOL. Awesome.

I don’t know why I typed water melon.

Yeah, I don’t even want to think of the disgusting consequences that would occur if either of my cats ate that much water melon.
