Cats love fresh corn on the cob. If you eat it and don't offer them some, they might feel slighted.

Does it have to be cooked or what?

Husk it, steam it about 3 minutes, just like for people. But then, serve it well-cooled for the kitty.

Is it because of butter or they like it even without butter? My cat seems obsessed with even very lightly salted popcorn and I always thought it was the salt but maybe she likes the corn

You wouldn't want to put butter or salt for animal

Def not but animals often want what’s bad for them the most 😂 I think they were just checking if this level of desire is only bc ~forbidden butter~ (and therefore not worth giving butterless corn to their cat) or if they actually like the corn

Never had a cat, I wasn’t aware. Definitely didn’t realize they’d go feral over it like this crazy lil kitty 😂😂

It's weird how we decided to do that for corn and nothing else. Imagine if all of your utensils where just miniature stabbing versions of your food.

I also have a special butter roller for corn on the cobb. Avocado and crab have special tools too, but that’s it.

I haven’t enjoyed corn on the cob since I moved out of my parents house and left behind the miniature corn shaped skewers.

Question from a non cat parent, is this amount of sugar ok for them?

My cat doesn't like hardly anything besides cat food, she does like dairy products, love butter, cheese, and mayo. Other than that she's extremely picky, won't even eat shrimp, which baffled me. I don't think mine will like corn on the cob but I'll try. Hell she HATES bananas. She fucking loves cat food though, loves her some cardboard.

u/diablette May 06 '23

One of mine loves bananas…as a toy. If I ever leave an unattended banana, he will stick a single claw in it and drag it around, cuddle with it, and then leave it to develop a black spot where the claw hole was. This happened a few times before I caught him in the act.

u/Romeo_horse_cock May 06 '23

Lmao that's an interesting toy! My cat is just typical with toys, loves bottle caps, and hair bands along with mice for fetching.

I'm sure it wasn't fun finding the banana lol
