Do you think it's funny that our cats just love to eat all kinds of breads and biscuits?
I'm so dead serious about this. You see, it's been bugging me for a long time that 2 of our 4 cats just love to eat breads and biscuits but they still eat the usual cat food. So, haha, my question is do you think it's normal for them to eat those kinds of stuff?

- My cat likes lemon drizzle cake which is weird
- It's not normal than you're allowing to eat this - why are you? Cats are obligate carnivores and bread provides ZERO nutrional value to them. It's also loaded with carbohydrates which can make your cat obese. Stop feeding it to him. So no - I don't find it the least bit funny that you're feeding your cats human foods that aren't good for them.
- Yeah it's totally normal. Most cats love people most food. Just not most fruits and vegetables. But one's really weird and she eats lettuce. Just make sure you don't give them too much because it could be bad for them.
- Cheese biscuits, crisps (potato chips). A cat will gannet just about anything. Mine even had (stole actually) a brussel sprout at Xmas.
- I don't think it's amusing at all. You need to stop them doing this. Human foods like bread and biscuits contain ingredients that your cat cannot digest and ingredients which are of no nutritional value to your cat. Bread and biscuits are basically carbohydrates (complex and simple) as cats are obligate carnivores their bodies do not need these things. Both types of carbs will lead to your cats metabolism getting messed up, they will put on weight and possibly become diabetic. In cats, diabetes is very difficult to manage and it's a disease that leads to many, many serious physical ailments and eventual disabilities (blindness and neuropathy being just two) Get some healthy high protein, low carb treats for your cats and use those to treat them. Don't feed them tidbits of human foods as treats. Keep bread and biscuits out of their way by putting them away. Make sure your whole family is on the same page about this. Other human foods which are bad for cats are any member of the onion family, this includes garlic. They are deadly toxic to cats and are contained in many human processed foods, both whole and in powder form. Keep your cats on the cat food and cat safe treats and you should have healthy cats. Why risk their health when it's so easy to keep them well?
- My kitten likes pizza crust. My other cat bites into the ramen noodles in the cupboard, and twice he has eaten a brussell sprout. A Brussell sprout!!
