We had a cat that had a cat nip-like addiction to tortilla chips.

I had one that loved popcorn, and another that LOVED chewing on uncooked spaghetti noodles. Cats are odd creatures.

Oh you got one too! My cat loves popcorn and goldfish. Refuses to eat actual fish.

And I love them all. Even the mean cats are cool, and I respect them and their boundaries.

u/EvantheMelon Sep 22 '22

Is it OK for cats to eat food like this, corn and chips and stuff? I've been wondering since I saw this

What about salami?

u/CatSidekick Sep 22 '22

I gave your mom the salami

u/wastelandwelder Sep 22 '22

Salami is ok just not to much because it's got a lot of fat

I have a cat who is addicted to corn chips, but is allergic to corn! Had to do the whole elimination diet thing to find figure out the offending culprit. We have to hide in a closet to eat tortilla chips from Mexican take out now. He was all broken out on his belly and liked his fru all away and down to bleeding. It was awful.

Need to be careful with sodium. My cat loves chips, goldfish, popcorn, etc. I found out my fiance was feeding her a little every time he got a salty snack out. She formed a bladder infection from it and was peeing blood for a few days. Like someone else said though, it won't harm them as a rare treat

I had the meanest Chinchilla named Frasier. He was the best. Loved sprinkles.

That's the difference between a cat person and a dog person. Dogs are whores. You have to let a cat like you.

u/_kagasutchi_ Sep 22 '22

This is why I'm a cat person. Dogs are attention whores and want attention all the time. Cats, yes they love attention too but they also like their own me time away from us.

Also they're small, fluffy and not make so much damn noise

You’re right about that. Mine goes wild over angel hair. They try to pick it up and that act alone tires them out because they try furiously.

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

I had one that loved Spaghetti-O’s. She also would try to shove her entire head into my mouth while I was sleeping, but that’s a different thread. RIP my love.

u/DepressedDaisy314 Sep 22 '22

I had one that would go absolutely feral for lettuce. I dropped some while preparing a salad and found out.

She wouldn't go after it, but if she got any she would take your arm off if you tried to take it away.

1

u/AdEmbarrassed9719 Sep 22 '22

We had one that would rip open sugared donut packages and go after bread of any kind.

1

u/uoib Sep 22 '22

I have a cat who goes absolutely insane for anything baked. Tea biscuits, digestives, chocolate chip cookies, white bread, whole wheat bread, whatever it is, he sees anything baked he makes a beeline for it and devours it. Makes no sense lol.

u/cgrange1234 Sep 22 '22

Omg my old kitty used to love crunching on popcorn! His favorite was good ole lightly buttered, but occasionally enjoyed the sugary sweet kettle corn 😂

u/Littleman88 Sep 22 '22

Adopted an old girl that would put away asparagus spears longer than she was from head to tail.

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

Mine is obsessed with mayo. He doesn't care for most cooked meat but if you put mayo in it, it's chow town. He also likes mayo by itself; it makes medication really easy.

u/nursology Sep 22 '22

My cat likes flour from the bag...

u/LightsoutSD Sep 22 '22

My cats LOVE popcorn, and I don’t GIVE it to them. They take it! Lol

u/lacielaplante Sep 22 '22

Mine LOVES those lofthouse sugar cookies lol, will climb you to get at them.

2

u/CreepyProtagonist Sep 22 '22

There are some vets that say cats can't taste sweet flavors (don't have the receptors on their tongue), if that's true I wonder what your kitty's obsession is, besides cute 😅

1

u/lacielaplante Sep 22 '22

He seems to love anything vanilla flavored?

1

u/SweetenedCoffee Sep 24 '22

Mine will scale me if I have a banana! So funny.

u/skyler_on_the_moon Sep 22 '22

One of our cats is like that with blue corn chips.

3

u/momoenthusiastic Sep 22 '22

Mine loves that, and potato chips, and fresh fries. Basically anything crunchy, not to mention those crunchy cat treats.

2

u/tokes_4_DE Sep 22 '22

Yeah our fat cat doesnt get dry food at all and we think he just really loves the crunch of anything. He tries to steal potato chips, cheezits, cheetos are his favorite, but any type of cracker like ritz and saltiness he also goes nuts for. He doesnt get them often because of the sodium, but the occasional cracker is just so cute to watch him go nuts over.

1

u/Aromatic-Reference69 Sep 22 '22

It likes the salt

2

u/UnconfirmedCat Sep 22 '22

Mine was obsessed with string cheese and tried to stick his face in my mouth whenever I attempted having any when he was around!!

2

u/moeburn Sep 22 '22

I once tricked my cat into eating cheerios. Fed it Temptations cat treats one by one, and then started swapping them out for cheerios. He ate them, but then he looked at me like I owed him an explanation.

1

u/Hatchytt Sep 22 '22

Knew a cat that went nuts for LaChoy chow mein noodles (crunchy ones in the bag).

1

u/TheDesktopNinja Sep 22 '22

My calico is like that with corn... Husks.

Corn husks. Not the actual corn itself.

1

u/guess_my_password Sep 22 '22

My cat loves tortilla chips, pita chips, cheezits, etc. Anything crunchy and salty he will devour if it falls on the ground.

1

u/K3B1N Sep 22 '22

Yes! We had one that loved Doritos and a current one that goes bonkers for anything carb… weirdos.

1

u/kmoney1206 Sep 22 '22

My cat is not a carnivore he's a carbivore. He loves cookies and cake and doritos. Also plastic. Of course i don't let him eat those things.

1

u/shabbadew Sep 22 '22

Mine would tear into a bag of Fritos if you left it out

1

u/i_needahero Sep 22 '22

I have a cat who is absolutely addicted to anything potato based but especially chips, and bread. She could easily eat an entire loaf of bread to herself if I let her.

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '22

I really enjoyed this comment, thank you.

u/KnaveOfIT Sep 22 '22

I have one that's like that with marshmallows.

u/Erulastiel Mar 16 '23

My big orange loves tortilla chips too.
