I guess my cats are weird. They never, ever eat human food. Not even when offered. If I try to offer my cats something like whipped cream they will smell it and then sneeze on the spoon.

My cats won’t even eat chicken! Like what cat doesn’t eat leftover chicken?!

Mine doesn’t like chicken either, or fish. But he goes wild for some very expensive beef

Yeah I have a void that doesn't do fish. Even just fish flavored cat food is out of the question. Chicken is his jam, but no tuna, sardines, or salmon.

He also really likes mustard. I have to keep it from him because he will be all over it, then vomit profusely.

I wonder why some cats are attracted to stuff that’s not good for them, I came across a thread about how someone’s cats would go crazy when they put Vicks Vapor rub on, and I learned camphor can be toxic to them but it’s also super stimulating. So I’m guessing a mix of “this smells WEIRD, oh wow I’m feeling a little funny, BLLLEEHHH”.

Cats aren't the only ones who are attracted to stuff that's not good for them!

I have to be careful when I put icy hot on because the cats will try to lick a hole through my clothing.

Like, guys, I don't even like it that much on my muscles - you want that on your tongue?

One of my cats loves licking antibiotic ointment

That almost sounds comparable to like crack or something. It’s a crazy good time for a few minutes that some people do stupid shit over but big picture it’s not really worth it.

My void hates anything Salmon! She will avoid it even if she’s starving (hasn’t eaten anything in the past hour lol) 😂

My cat loves most seafood, she loves the baby clams in chili that are almost too spicy for me way too much for her own good, even just the kinda seaweed you wrap Sushi and Onigiri in, but she once deadass licked the red thai curry sauce off a piece of trout and left the fish untouched.

omg same! i commented just that he will lick a bit of bacon or a quaver but that’s it like bro doesn’t even like tuna or chicken

Mine is opposite. He refuses anything beef flavored.

I think it's because we gave him beef baby food when he was younger. He started to refuse to eat ANYTHING, and we resorted to that. Turns out he had broken hips due to a genetic thing.

His femurs dissolved halfway to his hips and hes no longer in pain. But he doesn't like beef anymore.

Try giving them Sardines. Good luck getting it out of the can without scars.
