What's your cats favourite food?

Oh dear, being picky about treats doesn't equate with ease of pilling in my case! Leia is impossible to pill; she is a large (14 pound) strong, stubborn cat whose won't power is much greater than my will power... Lucky you!
Give that nice Oliver a pat from me!

Posh will always eat ham, chicken or tinned fish. Although she does get spoiled with a bit of icecream which she purrs for...

Merlin likes all sorts of things: chicken; bacon; ham; raw mince (prev. frozen of course); any roast meat; tuna; prawns; any fresh fish; yoghurt (even the fruity ones!) any spicy or tomato sauce and the oddest I think is sweet corn kernels!

Of course, any of the above are strictly treats other than when he was poorly when I was desperate to find something he would eat - freshly poached chicken or fish was all he would take for quite a while. Such a relief now he's back on Felix supermeat.

My old cat loved peanut butter. One morning I found him jumped up on the table licking it off my plate, so as a treat I used to let him lick it off my finger.

And Chaska loved...spinach?! Very bizarre, but once we dropped some on the floor while cooking and she ate it up so quickly and looked for more. We hardly ever give it to her, she's very fussy when it comes to regular cat treats like meat, hehe. She only likes fish, no chicken.

I just realised my last post made it look like I let my cats eat whatever they want! Both these were by accident, any treats we give them on purpose are all normal cat foods, like chicken or tuna!

The occasional strange treat won't hurt: my Siamese used to love olives! But he always spit out the pimiento!

Roast chicken.
Well... food in general would be more accurate for Mr Gourmand.
The strangest things he eats is chips and frozen peas (they roll in an enticing way and they're easy to pounce and kill) but he rarely gets either.
His standard treat is roast turkey - I use that for his treasure-hunts when he's house-bound for the day. Wards off boredom, gives him some exercise and isn't bad food-wise.

Figo loves all food in general, but he goes nuts when a packet of prawns is opened, same goes for ham, and he paces around and pleads till you give him a bite

Ah, ham! I was feeding a terribly shy little stray who would not come close to me in the early days...until I held out a nice piece of ham; she sniffed and sniffed, crept closer and took it from my hand! The beginning of a beautiful friendship....
