There is something going around called the butter theory and everyone says that cats love butter.

FOO....the bottomless pit, LOVES butter. He has broken 2 butter dishes to get to it. I went and bought one of the fancy french butter keepers.....he figured out how to get into it. I have to keep the butter in the microwave if I want soft butter. He won't just chew on it a little...he will eat half a stick.one member on here has a cat that loves butter lol
mine think its okay :/
are you the one that made that thread about your cat?FOO....the bottomless pit, LOVES butter. He has broken 2 butter dishes to get to it.

Yeah....that was probably me. Foo is a food freak. He will eat his food, then roam the counters looking for people food or butter.....anything that we eat, he thinks he should have.are you the one that made that thread about your cat?
that's funny my cat Blanket will stare at my grandma's popcorn if it smells like butter but if we give her one popcorn she'll take off running lol and Carnation will eat it its funny watching cats eat popcorn i rarely give it maybe once a month that is 2 little popcorns lol
my cats like oil better then butter for some odd reason.
The precaution is possibly in place for cats who shall have a low fat diet.A small amount of butter occasionally seems to be all right for a healthy cat. NOT all right for any cat that has any kind of liver or gall bladder disease. (The same precaution applies to chicken skin and any other high fat items.)
Why is butter bad for liver disease or gallstones? Just wondering.A small amount of butter occasionally seems to be all right for a healthy cat. NOT all right for any cat that has any kind of liver or gall bladder disease. (The same precaution applies to chicken skin and any other high fat items.)
Okay, that makes sense. My kitty was just diagnosed with liver disease and I saw this post when doing research.I think it's because of the high fat content. When you're on a diet for gallstones issues you really have to cut out the fat.
What is the recipe for homemade cat food for kidney disease with butter? My cat needs more fat in his diet and is not lactose intolerant.I have not heard of the butter theory (have heard of Cat and the buttered toast theory), but can personally attest to the fact that not ALL cats love butter.
One of my cats does, because I once found a little bite mark out of a stick of butter left on my counter top when I used to leave it out on a small plate(now I keep it covered, BTW)
However, the one that I WANT to like it, doesn't. The reason I say I want her to like it is that I recently ran across a recipe for a homemade diet for cats with kidney disease, and it calls for 1 cup of unsalted butter, along with meat, vitamins, etc. Reading that, I figured it was at least ok to scramble up an egg white in a little bit of butter for her, which I did. do you think she would eat it? Not on your life
So, bottom line, I don't think giving a cat butter isnecessarily bad, as long as it's done in moderation. That recipe I was quoting above made quite a bit of food! BUT, butter is fattening, no matter how you slice it, so you should keep that in mind.
