Couperwife Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Does anyone know if dried mango would do any harm to a cat? ive just been sat eating dried mango (you know the wholefoods type dried mango) and the cat shoved her nose into the packet, anyway, I showed a piece of mango to the cat, who started to lick it like it was going out of fashion please tell me that it wont do her any harm , she didnt eat it, she just licked it I took it off her in the end, cos she was getting a bit over enthusiastic about it oh, ive got a weird cat, she also like honeydrew melon (she has been known to steal a piece of melon off me before ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi Cathy, Not sure about mango, but OH had a cat that used to go berserk for cucumber. He ate lots of it over the years with no ill effects. I would doubt there is anything in a lick of dried mango that would hurt him. My new moggy has a taste for beer. Bizarre creatures!

Ziggy Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I hope your moggy is fine, I can't think of anything in mango that would harm... Cats can be funny... I used to have one who absolutely loved marzipan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 My cat drools,dribbles and squirms over ripening apples in the fruit bowl. Only apples though. I keep them in the fridge now. I had an old moggy who behaved the same with green olives. A bit like the behaviour you get with catnip. I think it's the scent rather than the taste.

Space Chick Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 My dog goes crazy over Olives and swede. The cat sniffs sherry and port bottles If you have some, he'll be on your lap trying to get into the glass. Strange creature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lydia Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I don't think the mango will harm your cat. When I think of the variety that my cats have tried over the years Both of my cats go mad for bleach! If I put it down the loo or do the tiles or anything, within minutes they're both there rolling around and drooling on the bathmat like I've sprinkled the place with catnip. Weird. Luckily they've never tried to lick it. Meg also likes to lick soap and regularly cleans up the shower after use My mum's last cat had a thing for toothpaste, celeriac and grape stalks. They are strange creatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
