 Last month we launched our new Facebook page with a FOOD FIGHT! The "My Cat Ate the Weirdest Thing" contest. The fight kicked off with a bang and cats tossing tomatoes, lemons, fig newtons, mayonnaise, and beer, among other savory and peculiar food items, into the ring.
Here without further ado are the Top 10 weirdest things we've ever heard of cats eating:
At #10 is Bettina Kropp with Taz & Misty Kropp lapping up SOUR CREAM and Kit Kat Kropp tearing into whole loaves of BREAD. The Kropp cats have some distinctly weird taste in food, don't they?
And if cat does not exist by bread alone, how about GINGERBREAD! #9, Midnight, a Pompay/Havanna Brown mix belonging to Janel Evelyn and Clare McKinster, likes her gingerbread with surloin steak, shrimp and WINE. Who knew?!
#8 - Smokey Funkhauser, a DSH female, companion of Maggie Mae Funkhauser, likes to chew on PLASTIC BAGS. Naughty girl! But not that unusual, as it turns out. We heard from at least five other cats who chew on plastic. Among them Sandra Sayre of Queens NY, Wally Busini also of Queens, and our own Jack Denny who will chow down on any plastic bottle top.
#7- Rifley Stanback, companion cat of Sylvie Stanback, has a bad habit of eating anything FOAM. Says Sylvie, "our foam bath toys are... all missing large hunks that reappear hours later in assorted piles of cat barf." Why foam? Sylvie says Rifley "likes when it makes squeaky noises against his teeth."
 #6 - When Pokesprite999 goes to school unprepared, she can prove that Koko, the cat, ate her HOMEWORK! Teachers, click the photo to view the evidence! (Don't you wish you'd had this footage when you were going to school?!)
At #5 is Amadeus Katz in Queens, NY, companion of Sarah Katz, who "... so loved his CANTALOUPE he would roll around on the above kitchen cabinets just waiting for me to scoop and slice him pieces." You can see the melon love glowing in his eyes!
 #4- Our nominee is an anonymous feral cat, lord knows where in the world, nursing on an anonymous feral DOG'S MAMA'S MILK! You'd think a cat hungry enough to nurse a stray dog would be scrawny and sickly. Not so. This mama dog (though she doesn't look so well herself) has done well for her feline kid. This cat can't get the prize cos we'll never know where he is, but we love him! See it and believe. Click the photo.
#3 - Stuart Little could easily have ruined Christmas when he ate A STRING OF CHRISTMAS BELLS. When I asked his mom, S. S. Little, the current, um.... location.... of the Christmas bells, she said, "The bells finally came out, LOL!" Ay Caramba! These cats!
 First runner up at #2 is Scout Keefe in Cincinnati, who prefers BEER to tuna, milk, and even cat treats. Says Dad, Brendan Keefe, "We give him only little tastes from time to time, as it could hurt him, and he gets MEAN if he drinks too much!" Don't believe it? Click the photo. And finally At #1, the Winner of the "My Cat Ate The Weirdest Thing" contest, is Willow The Lollipop Cat from Newton MA licking a SOUR APPLE LOLLIPOP to his apparent bliss (and the dislike of 303  Facebook friends). Willow takes the prize not just for the lolly, but because our research uncovered that he is a notorious swill bucket with videos of him all over YouTube eating string beans, Doritos, watermelon, and (though the title says grapes) something that looks like lemons.
  
We have to stop Willow eating all this junk. So we're awarding him the keychain flashlight with laser light (the best not-really-a-cat-toy cat toy) to get him off his duff.
Congratulations Willow. Go, and sin no more!
