My new Maine Coon boy, Bradley is now 6 months old. He just loves fruit. Peaches, plums, apples, watermellon, etc. along with other normal cat foods. He also loves corn, peas and olives. Basically he's an eating machine. Does anyone know if fruit is safe for him. He is having no problems with his stools.

Fruit is fine for them to eat, as long as they are getting enough nutrition eating their regular cat food.

Lol. That's too funny. Vene (RIP) used to go bonkers over cantelopes. Pumpkin loves peas, carrots, + corn, the mushier the better. They all love to attack lettuce or spinach leaves.

Tomatoes are poisoness to cats so make sure you have none sitting on counters etc.

Rusty will eat pretty much anything. He'll gnaw on a raw carrot and even eat lettuce.

both my cats dont eat fruits but Max loves eating lettuce. everytime i open the fridge..he would run meow beside me to give him a peice of lettuce. recently..i noticed that he likes olives very very much. he acts very funny when eating them. he rolls on the floor while chewing it and rubs his face with the plate when he finishes them. he acts as if it was catnip..it is so funny to watch him. he doesnt react to catnip..he actually hates the smell of it and would run away from it. could there be something in the olives that is similar to what is in catnip? Confused

Tomatoes can't be too toxic because some cat food manufacturers put tomatoes in the wet or canned foods. Nutro Max is one of them if I remember correctly. I suppose we shouldn't take a chance.
