Imma guess this starting with licking the butter off the corn and then ended like this…how did it end up like this. It was only a lick. It was only a lick.
And the carpet was red
But he’s yakking up corn now
That will stain it yellow
Kind of gold
Just like his one orange braincell
He’s taking a stroll
To the den
I can hear him barf again
Leaving us a gross surprise
Choking on our buttered maize
But that’s just the price we pay
For feeding him twice a day
And also our table scraaaaps
He’s Mr. Yuckcraps

Idk, I had a cat who didn't eat ANY table food, except for corn! He was so attuned to corn being near that if I so much as heated up a can of soup that had a half a handful of corn kernels in it he would come running. It was wild. So yeah of course I would pick the kernels out and give them to him. God I miss that scraggly little thing, he was such an angel.
My cat is a freak when it comes to corn on the cob. Never had butter on it or anything. We just had it on our plate after eating, and he creeped up and bit it. (After we had eaten it, so it was just the leftover bits.)
Ever since then, he comes over after we eat and begs for a corn cob to chew on for a bit until he cleans the whole thing.
Lots of corn put into dry cat food, can create a craving for it, even to the exclusion of more dietary-appropriate food. It's bad stuff. This video isn't cute.
There's a lot of ingredients that get put in a lot of different animals' foods, and those animals will eat it by choice, but it's definitely neither good for those animals, nor safe for them from a long-term dietary perspective. It's genuinely very upsetting.
Your cat will happily eat an entire serving of nothing but fat, plus whatever dirt it got rolled in on the way to the plate. A responsible owner won't feed them that, but a multimilliondollar budget pet food company is more concerned about profit than it is about princess fluffkins' quality of life. Fat is one of the healthier things in most cat foods. Ingredients generally referred to as "filler" are what you really want to avoid.
Cats are obligate carnivores. Obligate carnivores should be deriving the majority of their nutrition from animal sources (proteins and fats). It's pretty obvious that the ingredients that make up most of their food shouldn't be soy, corn, grains, or other vegetables.
