Gandalf really loves olive oil of all things. I'm afraid it will give him diarrhea so I don't give him any, but he does manage to jump on the kitchen counter and lick the occasional plate whenever I've had salad for lunch or dinner.
While DD and I were evacuating from the storm, I remembered something that happened while she was at school. I had fixed myself some plain scrambled eggs and toast with butter. As soon as it was plated, the doorbell rang. It was UPS. I put the plate on the coffee table and went to the door. When I went back, Lilith was gobbling up the eggs and the dog was finishing the toast. It looked like Lily had inspected the plate, decided she wanted the eggs but not the toast so she pushed it on the floor for the dog. DD was laughing about that one as we drove. So- Lilith likes scrambled eggs but not toast! 
So nice that Lilith and the dog co-operate like that.While DD and I were evacuating from the storm, I remembered something that happened while she was at school.

oh my, Morgana!!Morgana - Vodka. She had a taste sometime ago while my back was turned. Doesn't look great for an owner if they have to take their kitty to an AA meetingso I'm careful.
Tippy Toes - Bacon and Eggs. Goes crazy for it! Not surprising, the combo smell must be divinely strong.
Camelot - Everything! He will even go after something like beans, despite never having anyway and telling him that I doubt he'd like it
Liffey - So far so good, she might briefly get a little curious about some foods but she doesn't beg nor behave 'desperately' like the other ones.
i can see your Tippy Toes attraction to bacon and eggs! 
your Camelot likes everything!! beans!? 
ahhh, your Liffey is so far only mildly curious about people foods!

3 out of 4 of your cats don't show interest in people food!!We never got in the habit of giving our cats people food and three out of our four really don't show interest in it. Rico, on the other hand...
most excellent! 
your Rico sounds like he's a little naughty, eating anything that would be left out!!
and that's very nice that your DH gives Rico a bit of plain cooked chicken sometimes!!! - Thread Starter Thread Starter

ahhh, your Gypsy must smell the foods you're preparing or eating, but rarely will taste any!!!Gypsy HAS to smell everything we are preparing or eating but rarely will taste anything. She does take a few licks from the bottom of a bowl of cereal or vanilla ice cream but won't take more than a taste. She likes a little piece of peanut or peanut butter. Now a tuna sandwich is a totally different story!
good girl, Gypsy!! 
and just a few licks from the bottom of a bowl of cereal or vanilla ice cream...
a little piece of peanut or peanut butter...how interesting!
my Mickey
loved to smell the fresh fruit and veggies i brought home, but was never interested in eating them. my little Snick had the same reaction to smelling fresh fruit and veggies as our Punky does -- narrowing of the eyes, and a look on her face that seemed to say, 'OH!!! what a horrible smell!' on the other hand, our DeeDee is always interested in smelling fresh fruit and veggies i bring home.

your Carleton shows no interest in people food!!!Same here, Carleton shows no interest in people food. However, I think that is due in part to him coming from a hoarder and being malnourished. He never got to experience the sweet smells or cooking delights.
The only cat whoever really showed a sign of interest in people food was our tuxedo cat, Sylvester. He loved vanilla yogurt and I would give him a teeny tiny bit on my spoon.
good boy, Carleton!! 
i'm so glad that he has you now!ahhh, your Sylvester loved vanilla yogurt!!
very nice!- Thread Starter Thread Starter

awww, your Artie loves fish and cheese!!!Artie is a bear to deal with when I am having fish of any kind, especially Tuna Fish.
He also loves cheese: sliced deli cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and Cracker Barrel cheddar...
He is terrible to deal with. Artie is all over me when I try to have some. He is jumping up next to me, paw in my plate, nose in my food. I really cannot enjoy having either fish or cheese..
The worst is tuna or fish in general. When he was able to jump that high, he would actually jump on the kitchen counter, demanding tuna.
It is horrible, but I have refrained from Tuna fish....and I am absolutely craving a tuna salad sandwich.. or just tuna in a salad.. sigh...
Regular fish, I can turn him away a bit better, because of the lemon...
you're such a great cat mom, refraining from having tuna fish!! - Thread Starter Thread Starter

'...they sit hungrily watching me (eat)' -- oh my!!
your Lily will eat anything, and Mingo doesn't care for 'leftovers' on your plate after you've finished your meal! - Thread Starter Thread Starter

such a good boy, your Paul!!Paul doesn't have any interest in people food but Chula has a serious weakness for ham. She also likes ice cream and milk. She never drinks much of these last two, just sits there and puts a danty paw in the bowl and then licks it. At least she does this until I swoop in warning her of tummy upset and take the bowl away.
ahhh, ham! i can understand your Chula loving ham!! my three absolutely adore ham (and gravy) jar baby food. and your Chula also likes ice cream and milk, which she gets only a taste or two of so as not to upset her tummy! - Thread Starter Thread Starter

My Honeybee is a begger. She sits and stares to try whatever is on your plate. meat, potatoes, cheese, crackers etc. she only takes a bite and turns and fluffs away.
Pumpkin face hates most people food except for tuna and shrimp. yes she eats tuna every morning-it's a ritual Jon started in 2003. We stopped for 5 to 6 months. And she then needed meds mixed in food so we went back to the ritual plus I have to pill her every morning. it's just a tablespoon of tuna with water added-she picks at it all day. And I figured it's easier to pill a cat if they get a reward afterwards. no cat food for that one-we tried all kinds-nope. She also loves Shrimp-but you have to shred it for her though.
Honeybee has jumped up and stolen meat off Jon's plate so now he feeds her treats just before he eats so she leaves him alone. He often shares his food with her by putting some on another plate-he doesn't let her eat off his dish. It depends on her mood-sometimes eats it-sometimes not. She loves crackers-cheezits type of crackers.
Years ago with Floey-she used to beg and get nose in your food if you had chicken or turkey. She LOVED turkey-ate tons of it and she preferred that over wet food. in fact she too hated wet food. I remember seeing her jump up to eat out of Jon's plate that he put on the hassock to get up for something-came back and the cat was snacking away.
Another time I had a steak sub in the same spot-got up to get a drink-came back and the bugger was eating my sandwich. so we always put a tiny bit on a plate for her after that. most times she sniffed, licked a few times then walked away. for years she also loved strawberry ice cream. would get in your face-push her face in your dish to get some-so Jon always let her lick his bowl afterwards.
