| 4435.1 | Nope..normal kittie-behavior... | DELNI::JMCDONOUGH | | Thu Mar 07 1991 13:12 | 11 |
| Nothing wrong with her...she just likes that sweet stuff! If she's
anything like my "Cookie", she'll go berserk if she comes anywhere near
"Twinkies"!! Twinkies are Cookie's absolute favorite...she'll sit
there and lick the white frosting out of the cake and she gets 'into'
it so much that her little eyes squint together in absolute exstasy....
She also has a real passion for cookies---especially "Entenmanns"
Oatmeal and Apple kind...those I have to break up into kittie-sized
'tidbits' and she'll then sit there and scarf up an entire cookie or
two...(I guess she fits her name though...)

| Watch out for the chocolate tho. There's something in it that's
potentially harmful to cats. I forget what it is off hand, but I
know chocolate is a NO-NO for cats.
Sweets aren't good for them in general tho.

| 4435.4 | No such problem with Twinkies!! | DELNI::JMCDONOUGH | | Thu Mar 07 1991 15:48 | 15 |
| Re last...
She's really a "pip"...her "best friend" in the house is our largest
dog...a mixed breed that looks a lot like a Rottweiler and who weighs
about 80 pounds! Those two sleep together...Cookie all curled around
his head...and she loves to wash his face...
Ref Chocolate... I know that the chemical "Alanine" which occurs in
chocolate, is poisonous to dogs. Alanine is an amino acid, and a little
bit of it can cause serious problems including death in dogs...this MAY
be the same one that can affect cats adversley as well...
BUT!! There ain't nothin' harmful in Twinkies!! ;-)

| re: Alanine - I believe that what I heard was that it was toxic
to both dogs and cats.

| I bet there is nothing wrong with her...she's just a kitten.
With seven cats we have learned a long time ago that I have
to hide all food (especially sweets) and I can no longer have
cute little bowls of candy on my coffee table.
The other day...one of mine (noone will own up to it!!) opened
the cabinet door, took out the box of bonkers, opened it up,
and shared the contents with his friends. The box was
empty when I came home...and noone was hungry. Now I have to
find locks for my cabinets.

| 4435.8 | Don't worry...be happy! | KERNEL::LEYLANDS | Sharon Leyland, SUK IT Support | Thu Mar 14 1991 07:44 | 12 |
| I don't think you have a problem kitty...both my boys eat things which
you would never dream a cat would be interested in...
Dillan prefers savoury things like beans, chips, sardine and tomato
paste toasted soldiers, prawn crackers etc.
Sammie has the sweet tooth, he loves things like christmas cake, tinned
custard and ice-cream.
I wouldn't panic unless your baby starts looking poorly.

| 4435.9 | My little sweeties 8-) | TALLIS::PARADIS | Worshipper of Bacchus | Thu Mar 21 1991 17:12 | 19 |
| I have found that kitties will sometimes have the STRANGEST food
cravings! I already mentioned Ebony and her lettuce craving in
another note...
On the subject of sweet-teeth, our Cleo goes absolutely BONKERS
for anything that's sweet and tart. There are these candies
called "Smarties", which are tart little sugar-buttons that
come in a little cellophane-wrapped roll (not the same thing as
"Smarties" in the U.K., which I believe are M&M clones...). She
goes so wild over them, she'll chomp down on the empty wrappers
if we don't stop her! She's also the one who goes wild over
coffee.... (give her a caffeine buzz and a sugar high, and she's
bouncing off all seven walls 8-) )
Then there's Athena... no refined sugar for her. She likes hers
all natural: peaches, grapes (peeled, of course!), nectarines...
