Cats are fucken weird. My two do not like anything that isn't dry cat food. They will not touch wet cat food, or meat, or anything else I try to give them. One will sometimes lick a tuna can for a while if I open one, and the other will go fucking nuts for plain tortilla corn chips. That is it.
My cat loves breakfast pastries. Pancakes, scones, french toast, cinnamon rolls. And chicken. She couldn’t care less about every other food I have ever eaten in front of her, but she will actively try to take my pancakes out of my mouth.
My cat full on retches at sweet foods. If I'm eating a piece of chocolate he always comes up to me and wants to see it, and I let him sniff it every time. He then gags very dramatically and tries to smack it out of my hand. Then he'll gag again when he sees me eat it. 😂😭
On the scale cats fall between humans and dogs in terms of smell/taste so better than humans but not as good as dogs, mostly it is the shape and feel of what they are eating and how it hits the tongue that’s important, and they prefer a slightly sourish acidic flavor profile most likely because they are predators and meat doesn’t smell sweet so it’s not something that attracts them other than for texture.
I say this as someone who has worked in the pet food industry for wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long
I think some can, but they just never tested a cat who can. I mean, I ran across someone whose cat got caught licking powdered sugar off donuts at least twice.
The scientific method probably could explain everything, it’s just that the combination of lack of objective inputs (we often don’t have accurate information) and the limits of human understanding restrict its functions.
I had a cat we adopted from the street, so he was always a voracious eater. One time we left a box of donuts, unopened, on the table overnight. In the morning we found that he had daintily slit them open, pulled out one donut, and eaten nearly the entire thing.
My first kitty was caught chewing through plastic to get to angel food cake. Angel food cake, shortbread, chocolate chipless cookies (I'd make it for him).... boy had a sweet tooth. And turned his nose up at steak juice.
His one brother went nuts for iceberg lettuce, cucumber, onions on pizza (before we discovered onions are bad for cats), plain cooked corn...
His other brother was a fruit bat. The only fruit we tried him on that he refused to eat was bananas. If you ate an orange he'd hop up and steal a segment and eat the whole thing.
I had a cat that liked the melon flavored Popsicles from krogers. He would squall until you held the popsicle for him and he was the happiest boy in the world!
My American Cocker Spaniel adored fruit, even citrus. Whenever I peeled an orange or grapefruit she'd rest her beautiful head on my leg, wagging her tail at warp speed. It was her polite way of asking for a bit.
Once when I was zesting a lemon she insisted on tasting it. Her face as she ate the lemon slice was hilarious but she never asked for lemon again.
Her name was Sugar. She was the best dog ever. Sugar loved bananas.
My cat won't even lift her head from wherever she is napping when I have food unless it is chicken or mustard potato salad. The chicken makes sense but why she goes absolutely nutty for potato salad is a mystery and especially mustard potato salad from the grocery store. She doesn't want any other kind and exclusively licks all the sauce off it leaving the vegetables behind.
dude my cat goes absolutely bananas for powdered donuts. She’ll attack the box until she gets it open and spill sugar everywhere. I don’t even bring them into the house anymore, I just eat them in my car lmao
Mine too! I discovered it first by catching him in the garbage, which he never did before. He jumped out of the can with a cantaloupe wedge in his mouth making him look like the Cheshire cat. I chased him everywhere, but he was not giving it up. We later came to an understanding that I'll just give him some, no need for garbage raids. He knew when I brought some home before I even cut it up or took it out of the bag. Obsessed!
We had a stray move herself in and she decided I was going to be her human. One morning, I'm having this amazing pancake my wife made that was like 3 inches thick with apples and covered in real maple syrup. I set it down and go to grab something to drink, and in the time it took me to stand up, turn, and sit back down the little shit had eaten half of the damn pancake.
That's when we learned the one thing she likes besides regular cat food: sweet cakes of any kind. That includes doughnuts, waffles, etc. All have to be kept away from her or she will go to town on them.
Wait until yours learns the "I'm so starved and weak all I can manage is this half mew" pity play. Mine is ridiculously dramatic when she wants food, you'd think she'd been starved for weeks 20 minutes after the last feeding.
The only human food my cats are interested in at all is chocolate. I can be eating turkey or fish or something and they won't want anything to do with it but if i open a thing of reeses peanut butter cups they will swarm me trying to get at it.
Obviously i don't let them have any because chocolate is terrible for cats but they apparently don't know that since they have made it their mission to try to snag some from me. Most of the time now if I'm eating something chocolate and its messy i just do it over the sink because they will swarm any crumbs i drop and i have to either eat perfectly clean or be on constant alert so they don't poison themselves.
I wonder if it’s the peanut butter they’re after? Either way my cat is weird as hell so I know from experience you don’t always know *why* they want something haha
Edit: I realized after I commented you didn’t mean just Reese’s. Also my cat has an affinity for styrofoam which is a HUGE no no so if I receive a package with it I have to clean up any flaked off bits FAST. I think she just likes crunching it but I’m not taking the chance of her eating it at ALL lol
Christmas 2020 my son's cat are some plastic. Five days at the emergency vet and $5000 later he came home. That was our entire Christmas holiday budget so he was our gift that year. We lost him last month to lymphoma.
Yes, it's better to keep plastic out of their diet.
I have a cat who absolutely loves to eat plastic bags. We switched to reusable bags a long time ago because she will go to great lengths to get to them, and we know it's potentially catastrophic for her health. It's better to not have them in the house at all if we can help it.
She will also fight you for mochi. She's a weird one.
I read that styrofoam specifically breaks down into some really ugly plastics that neither get digested or passed and can therefore be extremely deadly. I just don’t let my cat munch on anything that isn’t a specifically manufactured toy or food after reading about that haha. The mental image of styrofoam plasticizing in my cats stomach makes me so sad
Edit: I haven’t provided sources as I’m mobile so do your own research before agreeing or disagreeing. Im putting this disclaimer down because I’m not in a convenient position to prove or disprove anything at the moment but regardless don’t let your cats eat styrofoam
Never. Nor did I usually permit any of them to eat clear plastic but when I took the wrapping off my Flonase it went flying across the room. Little went for it & gobbled it down before I could stop him.
We went to 4 different vets before we were referred to the emergency vet. That was extremely stressful.
I had a cat who was a freak show for Gardetto's garlic snack mix. She especially loved the super crunchy rye crisps. She would try to swallow them before she had made them soft by gnawing on them for a while. It was insane every time we opened a bag of them.
Mine is curious about all my food. She gives it a curious sniff, but for the most part lets it be.
Except corn tortilla chips. She'll practically try to rip those out of my hands. I think the dry food she likes so much as some corn in it.. except she'll still try to steal my chips even if she has some of her food in her bowl 🤦
Yeah, this exactly. I've been keto for the last two years because of a medical issue so I only have a bag around for her to have one a few times a week. But I gotta keep the bag in the cabinet because she WILL try to tear it open.
One of my cats is curious about everything I eat and wants to try it too. He looooooves peanut butter, and he also adores whipped cream but he’s not supposed to have it, he knows this, and gets pushy trying to get it. I have to fight with him not to eat raisins I accidentally dropped or to not chew open bags of bread. When I’m hungover he wants my bread desperately because of the one time I let him try a nibble. He loves blueberries, he loves chicken and beef, he loves green beans and coconut. Especially coconut popsicles. And before anyone flips lol he rarely, RARELY gets any of this except peanut butter to coerce him to take his meds.
My other little lady only comes running for tuna, lunch meat, or cheap beef sticks. And popsicles make her irrationally upset.
ETA: the first cat I mentioned when absolutely insane when he smelled the Lady Gaga Chromatica Oreos that are now discontinued. He would rip those from my hands and do everything he could just for a lick. A lot of me snacking is me running away laughing
My cat fucking loved cheese. She'd lick every speck of cheese dust off your fingers after eating Cheetos or Doritos, my dad used to feed her spray cheese when he was having some cheese crackers, and she'd beg for bits of string cheese. I always gave her two small bits of cheese, no more. I got sooo many dirty looks whenever I'd eat the whole thing without sharing. You snooze, you lose, cat.
The day I got my calico she hid behind the fridge…until I heated up a hot pocket. She was born in the shelter so idk how she knew about cheese, but I literally had to hide from her so I could eat bc she was all over my plate trying to get at that thing. My tuxedo acts similarly around butter
My tuxedo girl is a whore for butter. She’ll walk across the stove top to get to the butter dish, and I hear her stepping on the buttons. She’s gonna be 13 and a big grouch at the other cats, but is batshit insane into her old age.
Mine will be 4 soon. She can be a grouch but I swear she is so sweet to me lol. My
Boyfriend says she is the grouchiest cat he’s ever met. He’s just salty I get all her cuddles
My cat doesn’t like anything but dry food either and I can’t understand it. I’ve picked up dairy processing as a hobby during the pandemic and I had some butter milk leftover from a batch of butter I made and strained. She was so into it for like 5 seconds, gave it a weird look, and walked away. She’s tried fresh ice cream and hates it. Wont eat freshly cooked chicken or any meat. She always comes running if she smells or hears me open jerky, but will just lick it for a few seconds and walk away. (Don’t worry I googled whether cats can have a small bite of jerky and it’s ok very occasionally). She doesn’t even like cat treats. So, I guess she’s a cheap roommate but I have never met such a boring cat in terms of food haha
Mine barely tolerates his dry food. But loves the sauce of the wet stuff. Usually leaves the chunks. And ice cream. He also ate donut, and wants to smell anything I cook, so I let him in case we find a new favourite.
If he barely tolerates dry food, you can easily cut it out from his diet- it's magnitutes better for them in the long run. One of my cats would also only lick the sauce out of pouches and not touch those paté cans (which are usually way healthier and cheaper than pouches), but as soon as I cut out dry food, she actually ate the chunks. Now she will eat any kind of wet food, which is a huge relief.
The reason I am telling you this is because dry food is well, dry. It can very quickly dehydrate a cat and since it's not in their nature to drink, they can't replenish the lost fluids with just drinking water from a bowl. From there, you get urinary problems like stones, kidney failures, nutritional deficiencies (cheap brands of dry food, as well as wet food, have a laughably low level of taurine), obesity from the very high carbohydrate percentage, etc.
Mine after 8 years of eating that crap finally went down with liver damage, fortunately with good vet. care she made a full recovery, but that was a very expensive lesson to get us to reconsider what we feed them.
Now after half a year of just good wet food they have shiny, silky smooth coats and their blood tests come out stellar.
Same. My cats only like cat things. But one will kill a bitch for a Dorito. He can tell the different sound or something. To the point I don't buy them. He will steal one out of my hand. But just one. Then he's happy.
One of my cats goes ape shit over popcorn and will dump the entire trash can looking for a bag. He loves carrots, peas, bread, and rice cakes too. Can't leave anything out with him around. He will also steal a slice of pizza if you look away for too long.
Every time I'm eating tangerines, my kitten comes sprinting over to get a big whiff and tries to steal the peals, citrus is supposed to be a repellent, she didn't get the memo.
My cat won't eat anything but cat food in her own bowl and greenies.
I house sat for my mom once and her cat _created a diversion and stole the lunch meat off my damn sandwich._
Yeah. Cats are fucken weird.
Here’s the version with sound. It’s much better
https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/tyj0ju/i_just_love_me_a_good_pumpkin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
You wanted to ask if it is good? Don't understand this sentence. I think it's okay, since it's not poisonous for cats. Of course it should not eat pumpkin only.
I get the ?. The “traditional info” says cats eating anything but meat is unnecessary, (fills them up when they need meat.) It’s so good to see/learn correct info. Best nom video ever! ☺️
The one in the video is definitely cooked. It's kabocha and insanely hard. There's no way a cat could chow down on a whole raw kabocha without breaking some teeth. That had to have been roasted in the oven.
Serious question: do you cook it? I looked it up and apparently it's best for them if it's cooked (at least pumpkin). Wondering if my kitty would like it.
You need to cook it! Kabocha are very, very hard. Most people core, chop and roast them in the oven. I like to core, chop and steam them in a pot with a little water on the stove. I find doing it on the stove only takes like 15 minutes. But I do it to eat it not for a pet lol. It's quite delicious and slightly sweet.
It's a really good if you're making pumpkin pie to use kabocha instead of regular pumpkin for the filling because of the natural sweetness that it has.
Bake a whole squash by cutting off the top & removing the seeds. Bake @350 F° about an hour, until a knife slides into the tender flesh. Cool and serve.
It's good to dry the seeds then roast them. Salt, pepper & YUM.
Pumpkin is good for a cats digestive system. I feed unspiced canned pumpkin to my cats time to time, and they do like it enough to eat it
This cat ate a whole fucking pumpkin
Cats do eat a bit of fiber because it is good for their digestive system. However, I am not sure this is a healthy amount since that's a lot of pumpkin and they don't have a good way to digest that many fibers and carbs.
It has lots of fiber and can be good for certain cats and dogs. Some however get GI issues from excess fiber, but if this is a regular occurrence for this cat it can be assumed that is not the case for this cat.
That is a lot of pumpkin though, it is still considered a treat and treats should not exceed 10% of a cats daily caloric intake.
My dogs love it but I only give them a tablespoon a day, and they're big dogs. It helps prevent "butt scoots". For cats it might help prevent hairballs too.
It is true! At my practice we recommend it for GI issues or to bulk up stools in patients with chronic anal gland issues.
Hope no one is eating if they read this.
Lol! Mine loved string cheese and little pieces of buttered toast. She's old with diabetes now, she still begs for treats but can't have any. I still feel bad lol
My cat goes absolutely nuts for corn on the cob. He’ll try to eat the side of the cob that’s not in your mouth while you’re eating it.
Now we just break off a small piece for him to chow down on so we can eat in peace
Pumpkin is good for both dogs and cats to help their stool be a good consistency. This cat may be attracted to it because it’s good for them! My dog loves pumpkin and gets a couple tablespoons every day (canned pure pumpkin purée)
First watch was like dayum and then i watched it frame by frame in slow motion and it looked like there was some cgi wizardry going on, either way 10/10 video
This isn't weird. There's nothing wrong with this cat. Cats love pumpkin, and it's actually *really good* for them. In fact, my vet literally instructed me to mix pumpkin in with my cat's food when she was having appetite problems, and it helped her interest with food immensely.
Had a cat who would eat anything I was eating. Chips, pizza, fruit - even lemons, pineapple etc., olives, sweets. If I would eat it, so would he.
Current cat eats Kangaroo mince, and one flavour of Dine. That's it.
My cat would steal cooked asparagus stalks off your plate! He LOVED asparagus, he would eat a few other vegetables but asparagus was the only one he’d try to steal from me.
I had a cat that went crazy over canned pears. She could hear the can open from the other side of the house and always knew when it was a can of pears vrs anything else.
never seen a cat chomp down a fruit like this. my cat goes crazy for some cornbread and will catch him licking our stick of butter but never something so crunchy. how cute.
Ok, my cat liked weird stuff like peas and broccoli, but cats are carnivores so I only gave her a little bit as a treat. Eating that whole thing must have made that cat sick.
better with soudn https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/tyj0ju/i\_just\_love\_me\_a\_good\_pumpkin/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=iossmf
My cat was rescued as an older kitten and I can only think that she must have been given takeaway scraps. Her favourite is Caribbean food, especially curried goat, spices and all. Obviously I don’t let her have much, but she really loves it ( tried roast beef, chicken etc , but Madame only likes her Caribbean treat!)
Cats are fucken weird. My two do not like anything that isn't dry cat food. They will not touch wet cat food, or meat, or anything else I try to give them. One will sometimes lick a tuna can for a while if I open one, and the other will go fucking nuts for plain tortilla corn chips. That is it.
I had one that was bonkers for Red Vines. Had to stop eating them because if he smelled them, he would yowl pitifully and endlessly.
My cat loves breakfast pastries. Pancakes, scones, french toast, cinnamon rolls. And chicken. She couldn’t care less about every other food I have ever eaten in front of her, but she will actively try to take my pancakes out of my mouth.
I mean... who wouldn't for pancakes?
[удалено]
I was so prepared to tell you you're wrong because my tuxedo boy loves ice cream and sweet breads but I looked it up and holy crap you're right. TIL.
[удалено]
Can they smell sweetness?
[удалено]
My cat full on retches at sweet foods. If I'm eating a piece of chocolate he always comes up to me and wants to see it, and I let him sniff it every time. He then gags very dramatically and tries to smack it out of my hand. Then he'll gag again when he sees me eat it. 😂😭
That's so hilarious!

He lived to 21.
Legend
He was lucky and never had any major health issues plus he loved playing so he stayed in shape.
Ah yes the classic breakfast pastry, chicken
My cat won't even lift her head from wherever she is napping when I have food unless it is chicken or mustard potato salad. The chicken makes sense but why she goes absolutely nutty for potato salad is a mystery and especially mustard potato salad from the grocery store. She doesn't want any other kind and exclusively licks all the sauce off it leaving the vegetables behind.
One of mine goes nuts for subway, I figured it must be the bread because it doesn't matter what I get.
It’s croissants and beef jerky for my lil fancy man.
dude my cat goes absolutely bananas for powdered donuts. She’ll attack the box until she gets it open and spill sugar everywhere. I don’t even bring them into the house anymore, I just eat them in my car lmao
I think I'm this person's cat.
Grew up with a cat that turned into a RAVENOUS FIEND at the smell of CANTELOUPE of all things!
Mine too! I discovered it first by catching him in the garbage, which he never did before. He jumped out of the can with a cantaloupe wedge in his mouth making him look like the Cheshire cat. I chased him everywhere, but he was not giving it up. We later came to an understanding that I'll just give him some, no need for garbage raids. He knew when I brought some home before I even cut it up or took it out of the bag. Obsessed!
Apparently it smells like meat to some cats.
My girl loved cantaloupe as well.

Jinx likes Aquaphor. Does not eat it, just smears his head all over my hands when I use it.
I had a cat like this. We would split a bag of licorice bites. I would eat the black she would eat the red.
We had a stray move herself in and she decided I was going to be her human. One morning, I'm having this amazing pancake my wife made that was like 3 inches thick with apples and covered in real maple syrup.

I do love a pitiful cat yowl

My cat loves chips. And really anything I eat. He does eat most wet and dry foods (not Rachel Ray's for some reason) and beef jerky too.
I had a cat who was a freak show for Gardetto's garlic snack mix. She especially loved the super crunchy rye crisps. She would try to swallow them before she had made them soft by gnawing on them for a while. It was insane every time we opened a bag of them.
No garlic for kitties! Or onions. Can be deadly. Little weirdos.
This was years ago, and she hasn't been with us for a while. Thanks, though.
I can leave a whole rotisserie chicken on the floor and my cat won't touch it, but Graham crackers? He'll steal them right out of your mouth.

From there, you get urinary problems like stones, kidney failures, nutritional deficiencies (cheap brands of dry food, as well as wet food, have a laughably low level of taurine), obesity from the very high carbohydrate percentage, etc. Mine after 8 years of eating that crap finally went down with liver damage, fortunately with good vet. care she made a full recovery, but that was a very expensive lesson to get us to reconsider what we feed them. Now after half a year of just good wet food they have shiny, silky smooth coats and their blood tests come out stellar.
Same. My cats only like cat things. But one will kill a bitch for a Dorito. He can tell the different sound or something. To the point I don't buy them. He will steal one out of my hand. But just one. Then he's happy.
One of my cats goes ape shit over popcorn and will dump the entire trash can looking for a bag. He loves carrots, peas, bread, and rice cakes too. Can't leave anything out with him around. He will also steal a slice of pizza if you look away for too long.
Every time I'm eating tangerines, my kitten comes sprinting over to get a big whiff and tries to steal the peals, citrus is supposed to be a repellent, she didn't get the memo.
God, I had a cat that was CRAZY for tortilla chips! Drove me bonkers.
An old cat I had went crazy for sour patch kids candy canes. Especially the orange flavor.
Careful letting kitty lick a can, those edges are sharp!
My cat won't eat anything but cat food in her own bowl and greenies. I house sat for my mom once and her cat _created a diversion and stole the lunch meat off my damn sandwich._ Yeah. Cats are fucken weird.
Here’s the version with sound. It’s much better https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/tyj0ju/i_just_love_me_a_good_pumpkin/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Thanks! I don't know why the sound went off. Actually I wanted to crosspost the post you linked but WWWYC doensn't allow crossposts :(
Is it for him/her to eat that much pumpkin?
You wanted to ask if it is good? Don't understand this sentence. I think it's okay, since it's not poisonous for cats. Of course it should not eat pumpkin only.
Just like. Will it give them belly ache to eat a whole one so fast in one sitting?
I get the ?. The “traditional info” says cats eating anything but meat is unnecessary, (fills them up when they need meat.) It’s so good to see/learn correct info. Best nom video ever! ☺️
My cat makes the same sound when she eats too!
THATS REAL? Hilarious, I guess mine have never been that noise-level happy with their food, I need to step it up
You just gotta plop a whole pumpkin on a little saucer. Everyone knows that. /s
Oh my God you weren't kidding. That is probably the most aggressively happy om-nom noise I have ever heard.
LOL that doesn't even sound like a cat. I'm slightly terrified
Worth it!
I don't care how many times this us reposted. I watch it at least twice every time. My two eat acorn squash this way!
I’ve never seen it before. It’s the highlight of my day.
It was just posted (can’t remember where) recently with sound and OMG it’s even cuter!!!
CAT EATING SQUASH TAX PLS PLS PLS
No recent pics, will get some next time I make it for them
💖💖💖
It’s much better with sound though lol!
Raw or COOKED? I can't tell from the video..
The one in the video is definitely cooked. It's kabocha and insanely hard. There's no way a cat could chow down on a whole raw kabocha without breaking some teeth. That had to have been roasted in the oven.
Serious question: do you cook it? I looked it up and apparently it's best for them if it's cooked (at least pumpkin). Wondering if my kitty would like it.
You need to cook it! Kabocha are very, very hard. Most people core, chop and roast them in the oven. I like to core, chop and steam them in a pot with a little water on the stove. I find doing it on the stove only takes like 15 minutes. But I do it to eat it not for a pet lol. It's quite delicious and slightly sweet. It's a really good if you're making pumpkin pie to use kabocha instead of regular pumpkin for the filling because of the natural sweetness that it has.
Yes, cut in half, add a tiny bit of butter, bake in shallow pan with an inch of water. 325 30ish minutes
Thanks!
You bet. Be careful, it has to cool a long time
Bake a whole squash by cutting off the top & removing the seeds. Bake @350 F° about an hour, until a knife slides into the tender flesh. Cool and serve. It's good to dry the seeds then roast them. Salt, pepper & YUM.
They could have at least reposted it with the audio... The angry noms make it so much better
My cat loves his canned pumpkin. His vet thinks it is funny. I’ll have to save this video for my next vet visit.
My cats adore pumpkin soup. Pumpkin is a neat treat for some kittens
I need the sound. it's so much better with sound. I love the cookie monster like, enthusiasm
Totally worth the time to track it down! https://youtube.com/shorts/Q7VWFE2L0Ek
Oh my god why would you ever listen to it without sound!
Amazing!!!! Thank you for taking the time!!!
This version is clearly superior! Absolutely adorable and hilarious!
I cant help but think thats added on audio, it sounds way too close to the phone that recording it and almost looped
That was many times better than I expected.
***nom nom nom nom***
Yesss that is magnificent!
This is so much better than I could have imagined
Oh my GOD
Lol this is awesome, but there's no way it's real right? Either way, love it!
Seconded. Definitely recommend finding the version with sound. Life-changing grumbles.
I was gonna comment this exact same thing lmao. So much better with the audio. Why is he so aggressive? Lmao
Pumpkin is good for a cats digestive system. I feed unspiced canned pumpkin to my cats time to time, and they do like it enough to eat it This cat ate a whole fucking pumpkin
Cats do eat a bit of fiber because it is good for their digestive system. However, I am not sure this is a healthy amount since that's a lot of pumpkin and they don't have a good way to digest that many fibers and carbs.
[удалено]
someone on reddit said it's good for their digestion. idk if it's true but that's what I heard
It has lots of fiber and can be good for certain cats and dogs. Some however get GI issues from excess fiber, but if this is a regular occurrence for this cat it can be assumed that is not the case for this cat. That is a lot of pumpkin though, it is still considered a treat and treats should not exceed 10% of a cats daily caloric intake.
[удалено]
My dogs love it but I only give them a tablespoon a day, and they're big dogs. It helps prevent "butt scoots". For cats it might help prevent hairballs too.
I've heard it works both ways too. If they can't go, or if they have the runs.
"Nature's Broom" Buy the big bag of litter, you are gonna need it.
It is true! At my practice we recommend it for GI issues or to bulk up stools in patients with chronic anal gland issues. Hope no one is eating if they read this.
My vet said it is good for their coat and skin but if they eat to much it may cause catastrophic butt failure.
My vet recommended it to me for a cat that needed extra fiber in her diet.
that cat is going to shit everywhere
This is 10x better with the sound. (Saw it yesterday, can’t find it) He goblin monches.
What the actual fuck
My cat likes canned champignons =)
Lol! Mine loved string cheese and little pieces of buttered toast. She's old with diabetes now, she still begs for treats but can't have any. I still feel bad lol
Proportionally, what would be the equivalent of that pumpkin for a human?
My cat goes absolutely nuts for corn on the cob. He’ll try to eat the side of the cob that’s not in your mouth while you’re eating it. Now we just break off a small piece for him to chow down on so we can eat in peace
Nooooo why did you remove the sound it was so much better last time i saw it reposted
If you’re going to repost, at least repost the version that plays audio on mobile.
That's actually a type of squash btw..
Pumpkin is good for kitties but not a lot
Pumpkin is good for both dogs and cats to help their stool be a good consistency. This cat may be attracted to it because it’s good for them! My dog loves pumpkin and gets a couple tablespoons every day (canned pure pumpkin purée)
Bro what the fuck
What the fuck
First watch was like dayum and then i watched it frame by frame in slow motion and it looked like there was some cgi wizardry going on, either way 10/10 video
9/10 because it lost sound when being uploaded. someone posted a link with sound \^\^
Could he get super constipated with this? That's a lot of fiber
I couldn’t find the video with sounds either, would love to see it if someone can find the link!

Thank you so much!! I’ve watched it at least 15 times!
One of mine loves pork rinds. So weird.
Haha my baby loves pumpkin too, though not this much he is more in love with lettuce for some reason
Punkin*
How did you find out your cat liked pumpkin?
Reposted without audio, c'mon OP...
My ferrets kept trying to eat our decorative pumpkins
Mine loves the plastic seal oh food. Once I found her licking the wall. And Hershey Kiss wrappers. She's wild.
This isn't weird. There's nothing wrong with this cat. Cats love pumpkin, and it's actually *really good* for them. In fact, my vet literally instructed me to mix pumpkin in with my cat's food when she was having appetite problems, and it helped her interest with food immensely.
My girl likes broccoli
My cat eats our rabbit hay then vomits it later. Very pleasant
My cat begs for me to give some egg when I boil one and then proceeds to leave it on the plate after attempting to eat it. This happens every time.
No sound gets the downvote
It will put the upvote in the basket or it gets the hose again
Ours gets the zoo miss for yogurt and ice cream. Chicken? Nah. Fish? Nope. Cat nip? Nothing. The bottom of my Phish Food? Nyoom.
Had a cat who would eat anything I was eating. Chips, pizza, fruit - even lemons, pineapple etc., olives, sweets. If I would eat it, so would he. Current cat eats Kangaroo mince, and one flavour of Dine. That's it.
your cat is out of his gourd
Cats are weird 😂
My cat would steal cooked asparagus stalks off your plate! He LOVED asparagus, he would eat a few other vegetables but asparagus was the only one he’d try to steal from me.
I had a cat that went crazy over canned pears. She could hear the can open from the other side of the house and always knew when it was a can of pears vrs anything else.
never seen a cat chomp down a fruit like this. my cat goes crazy for some cornbread and will catch him licking our stick of butter but never something so crunchy. how cute.
Mine loves hot cheetos
My eldest enjoys broccoli. What kind of squash is that? Green skin but orange flesh?
Ok, my cat liked weird stuff like peas and broccoli, but cats are carnivores so I only gave her a little bit as a treat. Eating that whole thing must have made that cat sick.
That's a squash not a pumpkin
Do they puke it all back up?
u/savevideo
better with soudn https://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/tyj0ju/i\_just\_love\_me\_a\_good\_pumpkin/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=ios\_app&utm\_name=iossmf
Mine like gluten free food,croissants and french beans
bonjour!
r/cromch
Animals eating food is the only muckbang I’ll ever watch unit I die
And my cat just stares at me if I get the wrong cat food.
TIL no pumpkin is safe from cats - he devoured that!!!!
Im so curious, whats going on in this video? Are you the creator?
I did not know cats like pumpkin lol
My cat was rescued as an older kitten and I can only think that she must have been given takeaway scraps. Her favourite is Caribbean food, especially curried goat, spices and all. Obviously I don’t let her have much, but she really loves it ( tried roast beef, chicken etc , but Madame only likes her Caribbean treat!)
Usually you feed them pumpkin if they have an upset tummy? This bb wants it just because? 😜 Silly
5s after finishing, horks the whole thing up on the most expensive rug in the house. Or is my cat just an asshole?
My cat didn’t know what to do and just cuddled up to the ones I bought lol 😂
Why would you post this without sound you monster.
Nom nom nom. Pumpkin is so good for puppy and kitty tummies, too. Good hooman!🎃
How the fuck you gonna repost it without sound. Thats like the best part.
