The first solids that a litter of kittens that one of my cats had was peshwari naan bread!! Me and and the ex hubs were eating an indian takeaway and they were all crawling all over us so we tried them with a little bit of naan and they wolfed it down!!! lol!!

Also my dog that now lives with my ex - - loves ice cubes and carrots. Although the carrots have to be whole, peeled and held for him while he knaws on them!!

My dog loves Pepperoni pizza

In fact, he just had two, out of the six slices from the 12" deep-pan I brought home with me tonight.

Mine are the same! Rowan loves flies and beetles and her attempts to catch them are hilarious. All 3 like rabbit food and will steal it when they can and we've caught Patch eating rabbit poo, but for all 3 of them their favourite treat is a packet of wotsits between them. the minute you take a pack out the cuppboard they take up their positions just waiting

My two cats both love natural yogurt and prawns, and one of them also likes some baked beans every now and then.

And how could I forget? Marmite! One of them is straight at the table once she hears the lid being screwed off the marmite jar. She only gets a little bit though - I cut a little square off the toast and she licks it off, chasing it along the floor.

EDIT again. And crisps. Can't open a packet in this house. Again she only gets a little bit, as like the marmite I'm worried about the salt content.

Cats eh!”

There must be something in raw eggs that has the same or similar effect as catnip. She never got the opportunity to eat them but one day some brat had lobbed a couple into the garden and my cat spent the next hour rolling around in the mess like a loon

We have a springer spaniel/lab cross who is always on the look out for food/non-food. Her worst is cow poo. Everytime we go to Devon she is always caught eating it at least once.

One of our cats eats soap and the other likes cheese and onion crisps, coleslaw and chilli sauce.

My female cat loves anything cold, and loves anything mint flavour. She goes mental for icecream & wotsits (not together, although probably if put in the same bowl)!

My tom cat is the total opposite, wont touch anything cold, wont even smell it without cringing at the temperature, and seemingly loves to eat lettuce (got to have his greens) and also bread

My sister doesn't like veggies very much, so when we have chinese takeaway she puts the green bits from her chicken foo yung on a saucer. Once my cat has gotten some of my spare ribs she hops on the table and starts eating from the saucer, bless her!!

It must be worrying when your cat gets more of her five a day than your sister.

My cats will eat anything but particularly love fighting over pizza crust - they will actually seriuosly hiss at each other over it. Chuchi however will eat anything from butter to raging hot monster munch to mustard. Last week, he even stole a banana from my bag which he then ran upstairs to hide and eat.

My rabbit, Bun regularly finds carrier bags and shreds them, but I'm pretty sure he eats some too, although fortunatly so far he's been ok with it.

His odd little pleasure is Fab ice lollies. I was once eating one and he was straining to see what I'd got, so I put it down for him to sniff and he took a big bite!

I once threw bread out for the birds, so Bun promptly hopped over and demolished it all himself, he's such a funny Bun.

My dog goes mad for marmite. If he can smell it, he barks like a loony.

My cat loves peas, broccoli, ice cream, yoghurt and gravy. Probably other things as well but he doesn't get the chance to eat them. We figured they were all pretty healthy except for the ice cream and gravy, so we don't let him eat them. We bought him some cat milk which he loves and try and keep him away from the other cream based human foods!

Once had a cat who had a bit of a thing for jaffa cakes. Whenever they were left lying around, he'd be there to nibble them. He had a go at some mashed potato at one point too I think. Must have been a bugger to get out of his whiskers.

My dog does that too - he also does it if I've put moisturiser on my legs.

He's a labrador and will pretty much eat anything and everything, except lettuce and banana.

My cat loves prawns, cauliflower, ice cream and eggs. It's strange though because if I give him some fresh fish I've just cooked he won't touch it

My kitty cat isn't too into human food - yet!! Although she loves to take a swipe at forks and anyhting you may have on your fork

She is more in a drinking phase and has just learnt how to drink out of cups and glasses We discovered she likes 7UP yesterday

She also has a bit of a toilet fetish - I have to lock her out when I go as I was having a wee the other day and felt her whiskers tickling my bum
Flushing the chain used to scare her away now it she makes a run for the loo when its flushed

She spend fair more time than is 'normal' around my toilet bowl..

She also likes to lick bubble bath from the actual bath and I have found her supping at the dirty dishwater - even though she has two bowls of water left down for her!!! She is another one that likes to lick wet legs / feets / ankles when one of us get out of the bath!!

My cat also loves drinking out of glasses and is unnervingly fascinated by the toilet too! A couple of times I've had to make a dive to grab him before he jumps into the loo head first

My aged border collie ( Murf)loves all fruit, even to sneaking them out of the bowl...... He about faints when I have a banana, he loves the skin???
Have you ever tasted banana skin?

Murf is rescue dog. Last owners had to resort to puting Tabasco on chair, table legs etc. He still chewed them.

Doesn't with me

I had 6 rows of potatos growing last year. I didn't harvest one of them.....Border Collie ( Murf) dug them all up and ate them.

My first cat used to love kebab meat, but it had to have chilli sauce on it

My dad had a dog who was bad for eating things he shouldn't -- one day as a young dog, a box of washing powder was left out.

We came into the kitchen too late (just at the point where he threw up), but from the position of various items in the kitchen I surmised that he'd knocked over the box, washing powder had fallen in a heap on the floor, dog ate that up, threw it all up again, soap suds everywhere, then he only goes and eats up the regurgitated powder as well

It's amazing he wasn't seriously hurt that night.

Our cat "Bumble" will have a go at anything we are eating !
She can actually tell when I get a yoghurt out of the fridge as she runs over but if I get something she does not like out, she does not move. Mainly she likes yoghurts, ice cream, custard etc
