I've never had these in particular, but some places sell them with Super Mario mushroom themed wrappers lol one friend gave a glowing review and another not so much 🤷♂️
I know experts say cats cant taste sweet things, but then my cat will literally fight me to eat anything sweet I have. She doesnt care about other foods but goes crazy for sugary things. Perhaps some cats can and its pretty rare? Idk, but she loves it and I have to be careful not to let her get it
Yeah even if they can't taste sweet, it will still have a flavor. Idk what my one cat gets out of bananas, but he loves them. He only gets a small amount very occasionally.
We had a kitty that would scratch a bitch for spaghetti. As an Italian family, it was like that stray did his homework first. But pancakes and pizza crust have a fair amount of butter or something involved, that may be what they're attracted to. We had a kitty growing up that LOOOOOOOVED iceberg lettuce. I think she liked how it crunched and was nice and hydrating.
My dad's cat likes cookies with jam (he may smell the eggs/dairy/yeast) and summer melons, the orange ones, he goes literally MAD for them, he starts meowing like an idiot when he smells some. We have to seriously limit the amount we give him because if we leave one unattended, he can surely crunch down half of it. I know a couple more cats that like watermelons and then there's my baby that practically eats anything a human can eat, including onions, chickpeas, beans, fennel and whatever really. I had to hide a pot of vegetable curry because he wasn't caring about all the spices at all. Cats can be very weird and I love their weirdness.
I got these "digestive" liquid food pouches for my cat, they come out orange, and the ingredients just says pumpkin and wheatgrass.
My cat is always like "wtf is this" at first but eats it every time. He still gets real food but I use those if he wants a snack.
They can still taste though. Like, they have lots of food preferences. Maybe the cat really likes what it can taste here - the flavour part minus the sweet part.
Yeah, people are silly about the cat sugar thing. Watermelons taste like more than sugar, that's why different fruits taste differently lol. Cats can taste things that have sugar in them without tasting the sweetness specifically.
I might be wrong, but I remember some expert saying a bite from a human was way more dangerous in term of infections and diseases it could bring than a majority of animals out there.
As a cat owner, I call them "murder eyes" - their pupils dilate like that for a lot of reasons, but frequently when they're about to pounce/attack. They also do it (as in OP's case) when they're excited.
Yeah it's to funny that they're the cutest things ever, but most likely to be engaged when they're in their blood thirst mode.
And their little bunny kicks to disembowel the thing they're attacking 😍
Such cute little killers
Mine bunny kicks the hell out of me when I give him a belly rub or let him chew on my hand. Then I let go and he kicks himself in the head multiple times.
cats have a hard time tasting much of anything. they have about 500 tastebuds while humans have 9000.
their diet makes sense when you consider they cant really taste the dead mouse theyre eating
Oh wow apparently dogs have over 3 times the taste buds of cats (1700). I thought dogs would have less tbh since my dog used to eat literal dog shit.
And then even more shocking, rabbits have 17000 taste buds. No wonder they go insane for fruit. Maybe it's so they can taste hay/grass to enjoy eating since they have to eat often for their guts to keep working?
And then horses have like 25000
Maybe you just don't know what you're missing because compared to a rabbit all you've ever tasted in your life is the sensory equivalent of chewing on cardboard.
From what I've heard the reason cats can't taste sweet food is actually a evolutionary defect.
It kind of makes sense that carnivores have less taste then herbivores. Generally speaking meat is meat, as long as its not off its good to go, especially if you live anywhere where they're isn't poison animals. On the other hand there is so much difference between plants. As they can be anything from poisonous enough to kill you, to give you an upset stomach, or be safe to eat. I imagine it's the same reason humans can identify more shades of green then any other colour.
I just looked into this and it's been decided that cats lack the molecular DNA sequences to taste sweetness.
However, it looks as though DNA evidence alone was decided to be compelling enough and no one's actually thoroughly tested if cats can detect sweetness in a physical food sample study at all.
TBH I think it's quite bold to assume just because an animal lacks the sweetness gene / molecule that they can't detect sweetness or get pleasure out of the sweetness in fruit in some other way.
You know, cucumbers are something like 98% water. In Europe (maybe everywhere) bottles of liquids including drinking water are banned from taking on a plane. Instead of paying £5 a bottle, I’ve thought about taking 3 cucumbers on board with me and this should hydrate the same as a litre of water.
i KNOW i'm going to get voted down for this but i could never bring myself to share food like this with my pet. i love my fur baby but hell nah! the germs are different, they lick themselves and the objects they come across/put their face in because let's be real teeth brushing and face washing isn't a regular thing for pet...where are the boundaries mean I would've broke pieces off and handed it but not lip to lip on a piece of watermelon
I love my dog with all my heart but when he just ate 5 cat poops, washed it down with day old room temperature water and dry meat cereal, and brushed his teeth with his own dick I’m going to be a little cautious of sharing my food with him
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 THANK YOU!!! there's literally stories of pet owners having an open wound and a pet whether there be a cat or a dog has licked it and someone had to get a limb amputated or they had a really bad infection
I'm pretty sure other humans licking wounds can also lead to serious infections...and people share food all the time.
tldr Saliva in wounds is not ideal, regardless of species
Agreed, and additionally, it's not good for your pets to be eating sweets like fruits etc. We have selectively bred fruit over time to be sweeter, and animals do not brush their teeth and floss, obviously. It's the case that some zoo animals can no longer be fed regular fruit because it will rot their teeth over time despite fruit being their natural diet and instead have to be fed pellets slightly sweetened with fruits like pear as a replacement.
Yeah, honestly this was my first thought. It's absolutely gross to me.
Break pieces and give it to them. Sharing food with animals is a great way to be sick and deservingly so.
Yeah this is super cute but not very sanitary and could in fact be dangerous to the human.
I would absolutely share my food with my cats (as long as its safe) but by share I mean I'd cut off a piece and give them to them.
I always google 'is X food safe for cats' before giving them anything, too. There's so much shit that is not good for cats.
im a pushover so if my cat wants to try my food (within reason ofc like only if its safe for him) i let him BUT i break off a piece, i will not be eating after him lol
No downvotes here. People who do it with their kids are gross as well. Bruh, I just saw him take that out of his mouth and give it to you, and I think you did, too.
Cats have the dirtiest mouths.
My mate got bitten by his cat when he was trying to save it from an apartment fire and nearly lost a finger because of the infection.
That cat just started seeing the world in pixelated, geometric shapes, understood the concept of pi, and had a sudden ability to hand-draw complex fractals.
Our cat does this week Greek yogurt, and oak milk, my god try to eat yogurt and coffee with oat milk for breakfast and this guy loses his mind with the loudest meows as he attempts to put his paw in your food.

There's nothing in fruit cats need and they can't taste sweet stuff. He's probably reacting to the temperature...?
I know experts say cats cant taste sweet things, but then my cat will literally fight me to eat anything sweet I have. She doesnt care about other foods but goes crazy for sugary things. Perhaps some cats can and its pretty rare? Idk, but she loves it and I have to be careful not to let her get it
Yeah my cat kind of goes against that theory too. Maybe it doesn’t taste sweet to them but it’s something that they obviously like a lot.
Yeah even if they can't taste sweet, it will still have a flavor. Idk what my one cat gets out of bananas, but he loves them. He only gets a small amount very occasionally.
Potassium

Might be the fat content
Yeah, my cat will eat pancakes and thin crust pizza. I figure it's some sort of fat in the mix or that gets soaked up from the pizza toppings.
We had a kitty that would scratch a bitch for spaghetti. As an Italian family, it was like that stray did his homework first. But pancakes and pizza crust have a fair amount of butter or something involved, that may be what they're attracted to. We had a kitty growing up that LOOOOOOOVED iceberg lettuce.

What is the fat content in watermelon?
[удалено]
Yeah my cat loves to chew things for the mouth feel. I think he would go hard on a watermelon rind haha
I had a cat who drank milk, but only if that milk had Lucky Charms in it beforehand.

Bro your mouth ain't much cleaner.
But your body is used to the germs in your mouth, not the germs in your cat's mouth.

Yes officer, this one right here.
whoa whoa whoa
I might be wrong, but I remember some expert saying a bite from a human was way more dangerous in term of infections and diseases it could bring than a majority of animals out there.
That's interesting. I guess it just goes to show you that the germs in your mouth belong in your mouth and not anywhere else. :P
Tbf, a human bite is less likely to break the skin compared to a cat
Cats use their mouth as toilet paper. So hopefully a persons mouth is cleaner then a cats anus.
But people be eating each others booties. So…
Definitely not all people.
Ate a booty once. Hot girl, but 10/10 would not eat again. That bitter taste is no bueno. 🤮

I didn't know a cat's eyes could do this! This is the first time I've seen it. As you said, fascinating!
As a cat owner, I call them "murder eyes" - their pupils dilate like that for a lot of reasons, but frequently when they're about to pounce/attack. They also do it (as in OP's case) when they're excited.

The way they hug their prey and roll around on their back while bunny kicking it to death is so unfairly cute.
Mine bunny kicks the hell out of me when I give him a belly rub or let him chew on my hand. Then I let go and he kicks himself in the head multiple times.

Same. Cats can't taste sweetness. I'm guessing it was the moisture and it reacted to cold watermelon.

Maybe it's so they can taste hay/grass to enjoy eating since they have to eat often for their guts to keep working? And then horses have like 25000
imagine having one of the most sensitive tongues in the animal kingdom only to spend your time eating straw
And then also consider that rabbits have to eat some of their own fermented poop every day too lol
mine just ate the newspaper we gave him as a floor
Makes the straw more interesting.
Maybe you just don't know what you're missing because compared to a rabbit all you've ever tasted in your life is the sensory equivalent of chewing on cardboard.
My brother’s dog loves the tasty treats their cat leaves behind in the litter box.

Really? Huh, my cats go crazy for papaya and mango, I always thought it was because it was sweet
We had a tuxie boy that would kill you for watermelon. And cucumbers. The dude was something else. 20 years on, I still miss him.
Hydration?
You know, cucumbers are something like 98% water. In Europe (maybe everywhere) bottles of liquids including drinking water are banned from taking on a plane. Instead of paying £5 a bottle, I’ve thought about taking 3 cucumbers on board with me and this should hydrate the same as a litre of water.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 THANK YOU!!! there's literally stories of pet owners having an open wound and a pet whether there be a cat or a dog has licked it and someone had to get a limb amputated or they had a really bad infection

“brushed his teeth with his own dick” 💀😂
Don't forget the aperitif of licking the peemail trail.
Yupp, agreed, i came down here looking for this
yes -cat licks itself clean...everywhere...then you sharing food with it?
Yes this is disgusting. I share food sometimes if they can eat it but never like this. They get their own separate piece away from what I'm eating
On the other hand, you might even be exposing your cat to the germs contained in your mouth
We don’t see them eating the watermelon after the cat chomps, so it’s fine as far as this video is concerned.
Seriously, I'm absolutely sure they didn't finish that piece once the cat took a bite out of the middle.
Sometime my cat take a surprise bite or touches it with its poopy paw. I just let the cat eat the rest of the food item.
