Our baby girl had some odd tastebuds. Cats generally don’t like spicy foods, not due to the ‘hot’ aspect (I believe cats don’t react the same way we do), but the spice flavors. Well, she liked hot sauce and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. The first time we discovered this, she was begging (she would get up on her haunches and wave her paws around to get our attention, sort of like a bear would), so we let her sniff the Cheetos. She bit into it and started chomping down. We were shocked. We never gave her a lot of them, maybe one whole one depending on how many treats she had that day, but she wouldn’t hesitate to stick her paw in the bag and try to snatch them away. If we wouldn’t let her, she would then beg the same silly way until we would give in and let her nibble on one. She was such a goofball. I think one of the hardest things to get over is no longer seeing her on her cat tower, peeking around the corner with her head tilted, begging for a snack or for food.
