Sometimes I shouldn't own pets.

[moonvoice]

So Glen takes a handful of late night, post-training frootloops.

He says 'go away cats, I'm not giving you any!!!'

I say 'oh just drop one on the floor, they won't eat it.'

He drops one on the floor, and Maybe, who is meant to be on this totally restricted diet, eats it.

So I give up and say, 'oh you better give Moet one too or he'll get jealous.'

Moet also eats his frootloop.

Fucking cats.

*snickers* But Frootloops are teh!awesome, so of COURSE your cats would love them!

Our youngest cat, Elphie, likes ice cream. Our next youngest cat, Gabe, likes... everything. He will literally eat like he's a damned dog, if we let him. But one of his favorite things? shatterpath's buttercream icing [made with Crisco and sometimes a little bit of alcohol]. You know how dogs react when eating peanut butter? That's Gabe with the icing.

And yes, we HUGELY moderate the people food our cats get. These are rare treats. Mostly, they get bits of cooked proteins from us if they get people food treats.

ETA :: Actually, I'd almost forgotten... Gabe also goes SPASTIC for Triscuits, particularly the cheddar ones. And our vet, while initially surprised that he'd eat them, actually gave us the okay for him to have the equivalent of 1 Triscuit per day, because it's good for helping clean his teeth!

See, icecream doesn't surprise me at all, and buttercream icing and stuff - anything with dairy or animal products in it. Moet likes cream / egg / cheese / icecream / cake - anything with animal product, even if ther's sugar. Heh.

Moet and Maybe almost never get people food treats. In fact, it's really really rare. I don't know if - aside from last night (which was an exercise in poor judgement) - Maybe ever has.

We don't give a lot of human food treats to the cats, primarily because we don't want them to think they can get into any food that might be left out. So when they do get it, it's definitely a treat to them.
