:confused:

I don't know about any other cats, big or domesticated, but my cat Sabrina (half Siamese, half Himalayan) has a definite sweet tooth. I caught her on one occasion munching her way through a package of mini muffins, and on another occasion trying to tear open the cellophane wrapping around a regular sized muffin. On this second occasion, I made the mistake of leaving the muffin sitting out overnight, and when I walked into the bathroom the next morning, I found Sabrina in the bathtub with it, trying mightily to tear the plastic open with her teeth. Misty, Sabrina's sister, was sitting on the edge of the tub, acting as lookout. When Misty saw me, she said "Uh-oh!" and took off like a rocket. Sabrina just sat in the tub looking up at me and saying "well, don't just stand there, open this for me!"

:lol:

my cat likes cantalope which is kind of sweet

Haha, tell that to my cat. Sweets are her favourite foods. She's especially fond of the candy-covered gingerbread houses I used to make every Christmas. (Donuts run a close second.) When we first got her, she was so addicted to sweets and carbs (bread, etc.) that it took us about 6 months to train her out of stealing food from the cupboards. :lol:

We also had another cat who ate a considerable portion of my dad's chocolate birthday cake (my mom had left it on the kitchen counter overnight, wrapped in tinfoil or saran or something).
