You want to try telling that to Scout and Silver? If it's sweet
they're into it, and not just if it's yoghurt! The little blighters
steal bits of cookie, and lick icecream bowls, dessert bowls,
cakecrumbs, pie filling... you name it. The only thing they hate is
cinnamon - they think it ruins a perfectly good bowl :P

So then why does Harvey love dreamsicles so? If I am eating a
dreamsicle then you can best belive Harvey is there for his licks. And
yes I do share often we lick it together.

on the radio article I heard, they say cats that go for ice cream are
attracted to the fat content. Hmmm.....Or perhaps the sweet smell. THey can
SMELL sweet, they just can't tatste it.

That sounds like it could be right, because the more his fishy food
stinks the better he likes it.

I think Ranger and Tabitha will have a good laugh at this one. They both
seem to prefer sweet snacks. Ranger especially - she has almost tried to
beat me up in the past when I didn't share my sweet snacks quickly enough.

Methinks you are underfeeding your cats to save money.

It is a little odd, when lots of us have known cats who liked sweet
stuff. My RB Mikey's very favorite food was watermelon, with grapes a
close second.
