So... I just found this, and as far as I am concerned it takes the prize as to "weird kitteh eats". By far. I have some personal experience with durian. Direct link is here UPDATE: I was pretty sure, after looking at above YouTube, and others from the same YouTuber, that Mi Mi is a British Shorthair. But, the YouTube label didn't include that information. The Human was kind enough to respond to my query, and YES, Mi Mi is a British Shorthair. My recent post here has links to more about the breed, along with a totally sweet YouTube. As for my personal experience- I was traveling in Thailand with a friend who writes cookbooks. Deal was, she had never "experienced" durian and neither had I, so late one afternoon we bought one at a local market and brought it back to our "B&B" with the intent of sampling it at breakfast the next day. We two woke up almost simultaneously in the middle of the night, uttering something similar (edited for profa...

In the comment section of an earlier post Broccoli- Yummy, reader shakatany pointed me to youtubes of the Most Famous Broccoli Cat ever. Thanks, shakatany! Not to give anything away, but these are hilarious. And, I've included "Human" comments that are longer than usual, because it seems that there was an air of disbelief among some YouTube commenters that a kitty could be so nuts about broccoli. Or, that it was a bad thing. Read the comments from Human of Captain Pugwash below. Direct link is here Human says: We knew that Kiwi loves broccoli, but it was a surprise to find out that tiny Captain Pugwash not only loves it, but loves it truly, madly, fiercely!!! Listen to the growlies and look at the paw whappies! Direct link is here Human says: "Captain Pugwash went to his forever home tonight. We thought we'd show his new people what they were getting into, and get one last video of the now-famous broccoli kitten before he wasn't ours any more."...

So, those of you who have been following my various kitteh posts will know that one of my YouTube "research interests" is "what do kittehs eat"- particularly, "what weird stuff do SOME kittehs like to eat?" These be unique kittehs. These cats like broccoli. Direct link is here Human says: Little itty bitty kitty cat who stole my broccoli off my plate, ran away with it, and ate it.. growling. And, the broccoli thief:Direct link is here "> For previous posts on weird kitty eats, click on the labels below- either "Yummy" or "Weird kitteh eats" and the full list will come up. These kitty yummies include watermelon, cantaloupe, corn on the cob, pumpkin (starting with the skin!) and tomatoes. But I have to say finding "broccoli"-- that was, er, unexpected.

As part of the occasional, continuing series about weird things kittehs eat... Direct link is here (3:56) Human says: Merlin the cute kitty cat eats a pumpkin. Merlin also eats tomatoes, burritos, eggs, spicy Pad Thai, berries, asparagus, steak, and pizza boxes.

My YouTube research reveals that cats like to eat tomatoes. This is the best of the bunch, so far. And, nice music too! Direct link is here (1:45) Human says: "The story of one cat and a tomato"

Another installment in the occasional series "What do kittehs eat?" This one's for Marion in Savannah, who has been a faithful presence in the comments sections, and who also has MUCH kitteh experience. She mentioned that one of her cats had loved cantaloupe, to the extent of dragging the rinds out of the trash. Now that was one focused kitteh! None of my cats were into cantaloupe, but research on YouTube reveals that a lot of cats really really like cantaloupe. This is mr. kitty in a cantaloupe-dedicated mood (100% attention): And, this YT is fun (slice of life style) because it documents that of 2 kitteh Bengal siblings, Moe really likes cantaloupe, like yeowling for it, and Joe is totally NOT interested in cantaloupe: Direct links to YTs: here and here.

So, those of you who have been following my various kitteh posts will know that one of my YouTube "research interests" is "what do kittehs eat"- particularly, what "weird stuff do SOME kittehs like to eat?" These be unique kittehs. I do a lot of "kitteh research" on YouTube, and I have to admit that the Kitteh Cheeto combo never occurred to me. Ever. But, then, serendipity intervened! So, I bring you this evidence. Cheetos! Even Hot Cheetos. I never would have thunk it! Oh, my. Now this is really disappointing. I was planning to embed both videos, but the owner of the first has posted "embedding disabled by request". Sigh. It is SO frustrating when I have a plan, and then I discover this problem. I really don't understand. Why would someone post at YouTube, to get the vid out in public, and then add "no, no, no"? Thus, I have only one embedded YouTube link. But, it really does stand on its own!

Another installment in the occasional series "What do kittehs eat?" Of course we know about tuna , and even watermelon , but this was a new one on me. Figaro the Cat Eats Corn on the Cob (1:01 min) p.s. Figaro is a 16 year old Maine Coon. Click "Maine coons on YouTube" label for more great YouTubes of Maine coons.

So. The research continues as to what will kittehs eat. I recently discovered via YouTube that there are a number of watermelon licking kittehs out there. Another YouTube subculture, identified. I checked out a lot of these YouTubes, and I gotta say, they show the kittehs behaving very politely vis a vis the watermelons. No videos, so far, of kittehs dragging in semi-dead watermelons in the middle of the night, dropping them on the kitchen floor, and yeowling to get owner of said kitchen out of bed to admire kitteh prowess. I will continue looking. These are among my favorites, chosen because of the up-close and personal look at kitteh tongue action. So tidy. So delicate. watermelon cat 3antar the watermelon loving cat And, as ever, it's hard not to free associate. In this case, jazz. Watermelon Man. This is one of my favorite YouTubes. It's from a Paris concert, a few months before Miles died. Every time I watch it, I just see and feel and hear the joy and the fun t...
