I was pet sitting for a cat who would lick my armpits and chew on my terrycloth cover up . I am guessing it was the salt.

our current cat will not eat people food, except for canned corn and Boston Market chicken. she loves that chicken

[bunnyb]

wait, Pete -the bunny- chases the greyhound? bwah-ha-ha, now that's subversion for you!

mandoo loves my underwear drawer; if he's lost at all then that's usually where he'll be found.

I didn't know that about cats, AP, that they can't taste sweetness ... maybe it's the saltiness of the plastic? who knows, I wish they could tell us.

[pixiedust]

My cat has a facination with kitchen cabinets! We have to keep them closed all the time or we have to wash cat hair out of all the pots and pans!

[mornington]

my bunny - Daphne - used to chew my hair and lick my forehead. the only time she would voluntarily sit on my lap was when I was sitting on the loo as well. she was a little odd like that.

Pete is a paper shredder with fluffy bunny ears. He has an indoor cage for when I'm out (because he chews wires and chases the dog) and a day after I've put fresh paper in there, he likes to start rearranging. The first step is usually picking up his litter tray and throwing that around, before ripping enough newspaper for him to sit under. He licks his soft toy...

Our cat, Koblar, who we had in Libya, used to hide under pillows... her other trick was climbing into open drawers and then going to lie down in the drawer beneath it. And then crying so you spent hours looking for her. If the drawer had socks or underwear in it, then she prefered it.

My foul hound loves to shred up used pads and leave them in the doorway as welcoming gift. feh! I quickly learned to never leave the bathroom door open and to empty the bathroom trash immediately.

My grandkitty Morgan (he was the son of my cat Beastie), who lives with my sixteen yr old niece, LOVES to eat plastic. It's so bad that they have to keep anything plastic tucked away in a cabinet that has a childproof lock on it cause yeah, the bugger learned how to open it with his paw. He once ate a ribbon on a gift under the christmas tree and it was quite unpleasant coming out the other side

What is up with the plastic bag licking? I know that cats don't taste sweet things (Don't believe me? Look it up!), so what's the appeal? My one cat will loop a handle around his neck, find a quiet corner to get situated & practically make love to a grocery bag.

The other likes licking plastics, too, but his main thing is styrofoam. He will claw through anything to get at packing peanuts. He knows he's not supposed to eat them & I scold him to no avail. "Spit it out! Spit it out!" He had a whole stash of it hidden under a chair once.

And yes. The maxipads were used. Nasty, nasty Max.

[pixiedust]

I love the animal derailment! My old granny kitty licks plastic bags too! It is the weirdest obcession! And the sound she makes doing it drives me bonkers! She also used to love to stick her head inside my exhusbands sweaty leather boots!
Our puppies stay in our utility room during the day and our washer and dryer are in there. They are really bad about stealing laundry that drops on the floor and taking off out in the back yard with it! I usually catch them before they get to far, but last night Mr. Pixie found one of my favortie shirts completely chewed up that must have sat outside in the rain for a couple days! Usually it's more of a game to get us to chase them, this is the first time they actually destroyed clothing!

[bunnyb]

cardboard is another love of mandoo's; plastic bags are the worst though -I presume there is something sweet in them- but they are usually the sturdy, expensive kind. I usually have a few shopping bags around and I am long-term decorating bedroom and I have supplies in a bag that he is always licking. In fact, he woke me up this morning licking bags in my bedroom, then he came over to my bedside, licked a bag of haribo sweets, nudged it off the book it was sitting on and had cover in mouth ready to bite when I said "no!" and he resisted and huffed out of bedroom. oh, he also attacked my hair, he likes to bite and pull at my hair on the left hand side and licks my forehead - it sounds gross but it's actually quite affectionate.

pepper, you reminded me that my dog (finn) loved dirty underwear too.

[pollystyrene]

My parent's cat is into licking plastic bags, too. She'll do it to just about any one, but her favorite is a sturdy one that my mom has some books and videos in, in the living room. She regularly licks that one. She loves it when my dad comes home from the grocery store and puts all the plastic bags over the back of "her" chair in the kitchen- she sits there and licks them. However, the other part of her plastic bag fetish is that if they get left on the floor, she pees on them. Ick.

[pepper]

of course used ones. they are carnivores after all... and disgusting-shitty-kitty-litter eaters too.

my friend's roomie had a wee little mongrel who would root aroundthe crash pad after parties and devour only the crotches of whatever worn panties he could find on the floor. woe betide the drunken lushy lovely who neglected to hang her dirty panties up high in the wee hours of the morn. i don't know which was more embarassing, the used gitch on public display or the crotchless booty wrap first thing in the morning.
ugh.

[raisingirl]

Licking plastic bags?! hahaha! And oh my, used maxis!

Oh, my bun also gets really excited when I brush my teeth in his vicinity. I still can't determine if it's the sound or the smell that makes him crazy excited, but he goes TOTALLY BONKERS if the bathroom door is open and I'm brushing my teeth. And you know how good their sense of smell is.

[bunnyb]

"who, ME?!"

Mandoo loves to lick plastic bags and bite paper and books; I have a few new books that have teeth marks on the front cover. grrr.

Used, indeed. Ick.

[raisingirl]

USED maxi pads?!

My bunny does the little innocent "who, ME?!" when I walk into the living room and he's chomping on a piece of paper or a corner of a book. He stops what he's doing as soon as he knows I can see him doing something naughty. Behind the innocence of the bunny eyes lies a LIVING PAPER SHREDDER!

[bunnyb]

ooh I've seen that! never tasted it though; tempted as the boy should like and good nut-free equivalent to my nutella. *pats mando on back for resisting*

I am going through a real phase of peanut butter and jam just now. Oh, and nutella with bananas is so good.

*licks lips and resists the nutella at 2am*

[mandolyn]

lol @ the garbage-stealing-and-or-chomping-on-weird-foodstuff doggies.
*head pats for all puppers mentioned, living & passed on*

I RESISTED BUYING THE NUTELLA TODAY!
but look what was right next to it!
i don't even like milky ways much, but christ in a camry, i swear they invent this shit just to mock and torture me! so unfair!

[mornington]

the hound steals two things from the rubbish - empty ben&jerry's tubs (fossil fuel is apparently irresistable, as he will steal the same thing three times despite being told off) and empty bacon packets. He knows he's not supposed to, and he tiptoes off with them, totally shamefaced.

he tried to eat my passport once. nutcase that he is.

[bunnyb]

our dog was ashamed too, she always knew it was bad.

were they used maxi pads? that's what I neglected to mention.

[auralpoison]

Crazy! The same dog used to love to eat maxipads. He also ate a set of eight year old weird Christmas dough ornaments I made in thrid grade. Weird, salty dough Xmas ornaments made with cookie cutters & painted with Prang water colours.

The dog we had before that loved garbage, but she was at least contrite about it. All you had to do was say "trashy dog" & she'd hang her head & hide under an end table.

End of my derail...

[bunnyb]

mango sorbet is fantastic, as is raspberry.

we had a dog (how I miss her) who had been abused and neglected by her previous owners and was malnourished when she came to us. Due to being underfed she could never have enough food and used to get into the fridge when we were out (we had to put a lock on it); on one occasion she took an entire cooked chicken, a huge bowl of homemade soup, a pack of sausages and a block of cheese to her basket and ate them all. She also ate a papier mache teddy bear I made in art class once (it would have been sweet) and had a penchant for sanitary products.

/derailment of icecream talk

[auralpoison]

My beloved deceased doggie once ate an entire loaf of bread that was on the kitchen table. He also once ate a one pound bag of chocolate covered caramels, wrappers & all. We freaked & took him to the vet, but he was fine. He just shat wrappers for a few days. That dog was dumb, but criminy I lurved him.

I may be shot for this, but I don't care much for ice cream. I've had little to say on the ice cream tip since the whole Drumstick debate. I do buy lemon sorbet & have had a recent penchant for all-fruit frozen confections.

An apple crisp, hmmmmm? That's kinda like pie...
