People have favorite foods, why not cats? Following are some favorites of both past and present felines.
Violet...., l-o-v-e-s..... RED PEPPERS. I swear that cat knows when I'm slicing them in the kitchen. She'll scream until I give her some! This cat can eat a pile of peppers - even the insides, without the seeds, though! Her sisters & brothers turn their noses up!

Errol (yes, as in 'Flynn'...) could smell Hardee's chicken a mile away! He died at age 21 and a half. When he'd go through a not eating phase, I'd go get him some chicken. The girls at the pick up window got to know me (I'm pretty hard to miss in a red Miata!) and they'd ask, "Is this for your cat?" He'd eat MOST of it over a few days; I usually only got the biscuits out of a 10 pc box!

Panthera stole CANTELOUPE right off the dining room table! I couldn't turn my back on it. She's be up there chewing away on my half of it, totally oblivious that Mom was watching.
*
When Panther was a tiny..., TINY baby, my newphew, who was then 7 came over. I'd made an oven stuffer roaster which was cooling on the counter. Jake put Panther up there and this half pound kitten tried to run OFF with an 8 pound chicken! She put all her might into pulling at it, feet dug in for traction, but got nowhere! Jake, his Mom and I absolutely ROARED!
*
Katie was a sandwich thief! A roomate who was a dog person, and not versed in cat tricks, consistantly left his sandwiches on the kitchen table. I warned him not to do it. One day he'd made his lunch and turned away. Katie was on a chair which was pushed under the table so he didn't see her there. Kenny turned just in time to see this white paw come out from under the table, feel around, then SNATCH the sandwich off and run for her life with it in her mouth. There goes Kenny, chasing her through the house. He never got his lunch back!
*
Paintbrush (because of the white tip on her tail) decided one day when she was a kitten that she loved peanuts! As fast as I could shell them, she's gulp them down
*
Chloe went through a phase when she'd eat coffee beans. I ground them fresh every morning in a hand grinder hung on the wall. I'd usually spill some on the floor trying to pour beans into the glass hopper. Clo would be right there, probably thinking they were 'crunchies' (dry fd) eating them up!
*
Sehkmet was a garbage cat: literally! She was rescued from outside and had learned to eat human food - especially vegetables - out of the dumpster. When my sister would make any veggies, there Sekkie would be. Her favorite was potato peels!

More kitty tales to come!
