So What's the craziest thing your pet has ever eaten?

Yes, this thread was inspired by the buffalo tofu thread, and kpickell's post about the 8 raw steaks, and the veggie stir-fry.<br><br><br><br>
My cat loves cheese and he once ate an entire plate of shredded parmesan in about 5 minutes while our backs were turned. Unfortunately, he is also severely lactose intolerant, and it was not pretty! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/spew.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":spew:">

OMG, ok, almost all my cats and my dog have eaten vomit (sometimes their own)<br><br>
My dog had literally eaten papertowels that just had whatever was wiped off my mouth on them.<br><br>
Cats have eating bologney (can't spell it) rings-is that what they're called? They weren't mine, but yeah, finding remnants of those in the litter boxes..well thankfully I didn't waste money taking them to the vet before I realized what it was.<br><br>
And apparently my cats have ate some of my hair... anyone who'd had that happened knows what I mean... lololol omg that was awful...

I can't believe dogs and cats will eat vomit. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/no.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":no:"> My cat Misty is a puker. She'll eat half a can of Fancy Feast grilled beef or something similar and then barf everything up ten minutes later. I've caught both Misty and Sabrina eating some of the puked up food before I had a chance to clean it up.<br><br><br><br>
Ewwww. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/spew.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":spew:">

Disgusting but my pets have always tried to eat vomit. Nasty.<br><br>
My dog ate the head off of my kids little people horse. A rubber horse. He actually ATE the rubber.<br><br>
He also ate an entire roll of rubbery bandages. Pooped rubber for a week. Ick.<br><br>
One of my cats eats pretzels. Weird.<br><br>
We had a cat when I was little that ate peppermint canes every Christmas. He'd climb the tree to get them.<br><br>

My boyfriend's dog... a young black lab... has eaten so many things:<br><br><br><br>
A chocolate easter bunny that he did not get sick off of<br><br>
A hacky-sack<br><br>
Coffee<br><br>
More chocolate... (they weren't given to him, they were a christmas present that he tore apart when no one was home)<br><br><br><br>
Makes me never want a black lab...<br><br><br><br>
My cat:<br><br><br><br>
Aquarium water<br><br>
Cooked mushrooms<br><br>
Speghetti<br><br>

My Lhasa Apso named Holli ate cat poo from the litter box <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/spew.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":spew:"> My husband and I finally figured out if we gate our spare room (which is actually our furkids' room) then the dog can't get to the litter box.<br><br><br><br>
Our Golden Retriever/Chow mix named Genghis ate 2 pairs of my flip flops. Yes, 2 PAIR! She didn't really eat them but she destroyed them and I found little pieces of flip flop all over our apartment. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/laugh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":lol:">

Mine eat vomit, too. Zephyr has a bad vomit habit, and he often pukes right after eating, so the food is barely even processed, so I can't really blame the other ones for thinking, "Yum, warm cat food stew!" I'm just glad I don't have to throw away the entire pile of food. Actually, sometimes Zephyr eats some of it himself, and I figure that's his way of apologizing. Not that he ever seems the least bit apologetic.
My chow mix Piggy ate a $20 bill.<img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/furious.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":furious:"> He likes the sound of crinkly paper. After that, we bought him a puppy learning ball that crinkles.<br><br>
The cat ate a millipede she found. She ate half of it, puked, then went back and ate the other half. Darn instincts.<br><br>
I was pretty upset when my rat Nemo pulled a pair of my jeans into his cage to nibble. Gotta love him.<br><br>
My London Shebunkin(it's a goldfish, don't think I spelled it right) likes to eat his tankmates.

my parents' dog eats everything from raw asparagus to cat diarrhea <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/spew.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":spew:"><br><br>
that poor dog, she's on a diet and barely gets any dry food and my parents won't feed her any veggies because those are people food and it gives her gas <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/no.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":no:">

My sister once returned a pair of my jeans when I was younger by tossing them over my guinea pigs cage top from the bedroom door. When I found them in the room hours later he had chewed the entire buckle area and I found the the button in his cage.<br><br>
We used to have a greycheek parakeet that was obsessed with mushrooms. He would let himself out of his cage and try to dig through my sisters mushroom soup to find the mushroom bits even.<br><br>
My mom had a cat that always wanted to eat baked beans and BBQ chips. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/huh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="
"><br><br>
We also had a ferret that loved chocolate. I'm not sure if ferrets should eat chocolate but my sister and I used to hide chocolate in the sofa (Hey we were like 7 and 5!) and then let him out and he'd find the pieces. They also used to pop off the heads of our Barbies and hide them around the house. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/laugh.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":lol:"><br><br>
We've had lots of animals and most have been weird in some way or another. I could probably keep going for pages.<br><br>

Our chow mix loooves being in the kitchen while I'm cooking. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/chef.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":chef:"> Food is destined to drop on the floor and she's soooo quick to nab it! She will eat everything but greens - and she looooves tofu.

My cat Marta is a plastic eater. She'll gnaw pieces off of plastic bags, but her favorite is rubber bands. I can't leave any rubber bands where she can get them because she devours them like they're candy. She also ate one of those yellow Livestrong bracelets.<br><br><br><br>
Bijou sticks mainly to food, but she loves cornbread and toast (she comes running at the sound of the toaster). I once caught her on the counter eating my roommate's raw hamburger.

One of our cats, Nigel, likes all fruits and vegetables. He'll eat raw beets, broccoli, whatever. He even likes to eat melon rinds. He gets all excited when we're chopping vegetables in the kitchen.<br><br><br><br>
One of our other cats, Zelda, likes whole grains. She'll devour anything made with oats, corn or brown rice, but not whole wheat.<br><br><br><br>
Our third cat, Milo, is a strict carnivore, but he does like to chew plastic and once ate (and threw up) a ribbon, so we have to be careful about what we leave out.<br><br><br><br>
I used to have a dog who ate (not just chewed) plastic--once he ate an entire frisbee!

So you yelled "Go fetch!" and he misinterpreted that to mean "Go eat!" <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

The most expensive thing my dogs have ever eaten is a bag of grapes. Expensive because the old peroxide in soy milk trick doesn't work on my husky, so I had to take him to the emergency vet at midnight one night so they could make him puke up the grapes.<br><br><br><br>
As for disgusting things they will eat, it'd be easier to name things they won't eat. I'll let ya know when I think of one. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

i had a dog in highschool that would eat anything. if you left a used kleenex on the table he'd eat it (and leave little shredded bits all over)<br><br>
he figured out how to unravel the toilet paper rolls so he could eat/shred that as well.<br><br>
the grosses though was a couple times i'd come home from school to discover he'd gotten into the bathroom garbage can, if you catch my drift. everywhere. just. everywhere. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/spew.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":spew:"><br><br><br><br>
now my cat, will eat anything plastic, rubber, or paper. he likes cords <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/brood.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=":brood:"> thank god for bitter apple spray.<br><br>
he too ate a livestrong bracelet.<br><br>
bugs, oh yes, but only select bugs. he won't eat ants, beetles or spiders. we get these huge hairy centipede things here, so gross. sometimes they're like 2 or 3 inches long. he loooooves them. because they're so big he has to bite them in half, so we call them "twobite bugs"<br><br>
oh and he likes to chew on cardboard. and if you leave a paperback book in his reach he will tear the cover right off to chew on it/shred it.<br><br><br><br>
our vet commented on how great his teeth look though <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">
