	My Sadie used to love eating soda crackers and cheez-its. I think it was her love of salt. Candy is not good for kitties.

	First of all, please~ we are cats so feed us food meant for CATS Not chips and junk. Second~ we cannot taste sweet. Recent research has discovered a genetic flaw in cats~ a dysfunctional gene that prevents us from detecting sweets.

	Your not alone in this. My cat will take popsicle wrappers out of the garbage and lick them. She steals suckers from the kids Halloween candy. And I've caught her with cotton candy. You can't put out a bowl of candy she will be over there licking the candy. Sweet or tart she don't care she wants it. 30 yrs ago before we all were concerned about what our animals eat we had a cat who ate chips, popcorn, doritos, taco bell.

	no meat?? why?????? god please don't tell me your cats are vegetarian or im gonna faint. no cats should neverer have sugar, they are carnivores they need animal protein not sugary carbs. Canned cat food and raw meat are all i feed Sprinkles. and occasional grain-free dry food. cats don't need unhealthy treats. Edited by author Sat Nov 14, '09 11:23am PST

	if your kitty has a sweet tooth, try give him Market Selects wet food as an occasional treat. It have a tiny amount of sugar in it for flavor. Maybe that will satisfy the cat.

	Michis has a real sweet tooth , No. Cats do not have the ability to detect sweetness. They have no functioning copy of the gene that codes for it. This is why anti-freeze is usually a bigger threat to dogs than cats--it's just as deadly to cats if they drink it, but dogs detect the sweetness and are attracted to it whether or not they're thirsty, while cats do not, and will drink it only if they are very thirsty and can't find a better source of "water." she eats ice cream , marshmellows and caramel cream. It's the dairy and the gelatin, not the sweetness, which she can't taste.

	Kinda wonder what the explanation is with the caramel creams then, because those are almost 100% pure sugar (the "cream" in them is not real cream, but icing). Oh well. I used to have a cat that ate pickles. So...who knows with some cats?

	I see many posts about treats, and am always somewhat puzzled by them. I may sound like a mean Mommy, but my cats get very few treats--a lick of plain yogurt once in a while, or a dollop of canned tuna-flavored cat food. I myself am a hearty eater but almost never snack (I'm not perfect, I just prefer a real meal to a snack). Sometimes I wonder if the snack thing is American, as American humans tend to eat a lot of snacks. I can see the point of using a small snack as a reward for good behavior (for example, after clipping the cat's nails), but snacks for the purpose of, uh, just snacking may not be missed by a cat who never gets them. On the other hand, I don't think that the occasional lick of ice cream or a single Cheetoh is going to ruin the cat's health. Just don't overdo it, and make sure that the cat is getting good nutrition from its regular diet.
