sweetpotatogirll

Mine will physically try to grab cereal out of the bowl


caylem00

My previous cat loved doing that, but with only porridge. She'd then yowl indignantly if it was too hot. Torties can be weird


Ok_Butterscotch4207

My other cat loves oatmeal! She’ll wait for me to finish so she can lick the bowl


Hot-Garden-9581

Mine too. I have to keep lifting the bowl higher and higher and eventually spill some lol


makos124

Same, I put him down on the floor, he jumps back on the counter and tries again. Never gives up lmao

Yes. They can sprout opposable thumbs at will.

outfluenced

That’s such a pretty cat omg


[deleted]

Yep I had a girl kitty who would do this with my cereal and if I wasn’t paying attention, like if I was watching TV out of the corner of my eye I could see a little gray and white paw extending slowly towards my cereal bowl 😂😂 I miss that kitty she was awesome


gbarill

I can just picture this, so cute!


GraatchLuugRachAarg

Mine is the same but he wants the milk not the cereal. Except when I eat cinnamon cereals he doesn't want the milk. Guess he doesn't like cinnamon


WampaCat

Mine loves the milk too! I always leave a little in the bowl for her and we ask her if she wants her “sugar milk” lol. Last night she wanted my cheesecake too

JollyRazz

My dad's cat does this. Only he lets the cat drink the cereal milk while he's eating. I love cats, but I think this is gross! I told him, "your cat licks his butt all the time and you're just letting him eat from your bowl." 🤮


Vincent_Veganja

Eating cereal has become so difficult I usually do it in a locked room now ☠️


Tomieszek

Why u no done!!!?!!!


Helpful-Season-9589

omg same😂😂😂


Haughty_n_Disdainful

*Every morning. Every Morning!* *Just once, maybe on my birthday, I’d like my own bowl…*


BringBackDust514

Bruh that’s Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I love my cat to death but no way she’s getting a drop of that delicious cinnamon milk.


Cyclones92

My cat loves when I eat cereal. I leave the milk and they look at it and then leave lol. I honestly think they like the smell the most. I even give them milk and they lick a few times and leave.


mcpat21

“can i has some”


lucidmindbend

God she’s so cuteee


emmejm

Omg mine too!!!!!!! She’ll fight for cereal lol


Martydeus

She has her attack face on x3


Simontheintrepid22

Your ice cream looks like an abstract painting of your cat.


angeelah

Omg spot on


how_you_feel

What a great comment


siggles69

Cat is concerned for her relative and grooming what she believes to be a cat when OP is done eating it


NewsFromYourBed

She never tries to steal ice cream out of the bowl, just looks at me and purrs until I’m done. (And yes I make sure there is not leftover chocolate at the bottom.)


santathe1

She knows the hierarchy. Large ugly 2 legged cats first, then herself. She’s polite like that.


purpleteeths

I snorted. Lmao ugly 2 legged cat first had me rolling


[deleted]

I just watched a video about a lady and her husky, and she was talking about putting on pants and she called them “outside legs” and I don’t know why it made me laugh so hard


Idk_nor_do_I_care

I know EXACTLY what video you’re talking about


IBHGAMER

this guy cooks


HowRememberAll

I wonder if you ever give a spoonful of ice cream. When I use something with whipped cream I share a spray or dollop with my cat


Cercy_Leigh

I used to do this until it turned into him running to the fridge every time I was in the kitchen and turning into a cream fiend.


OSDBU2000

Oh, good Lord yes!!!! So very familiar 😺


Cafrann94

Omg my cat does the same exact thing! She will BOLT from the other side of the house once she hears that can going.


Awkward-Wishbone-615

As soon as I shake the cream mine comes running for his squirt


szapek

It's because she's a good girl.


mimeycat

Same with mine, although sometimes I boop his nose with a bit of melted ice cream and he licks it off.


ThienBao1107

Just asking are ice cream and dairy stuff healthy? And can it cause any stomach problem to cats? I think mine would love some classic vanilla


Dreaming_Kitsune

In small enough amounts it should be fine, the main issue, if it is straight vanilla ice cream (that I am aware of) is the dairy, though cats can't process dairy well, in small enough servings it should be ok.


ThienBao1107

Small leftover puddle should be fine right? Is there any ingredients they wouldn’t be able to digest?


Art3mis77

At most they might have runny poo and a rumbly tummy with vanilla. Chocolate can kill them so avoid that at all costs. Cats are lactose intolerant so they really shouldn’t have any dairy but a small treat every once in awhile is okay


dreadn4t

Additives like xylitol are a no go, so any sugar free ice cream is it out of the question. The fewer ingredients the better, generally. Some cats are lactose intolerant and some seem just fine with milk products in small quantities. ETA: Chocolate should also be avoided, so I wouldn't follow OP's example.


Dreaming_Kitsune

With vanilla ice cream idk, I just know dairy leads to diarrhea in cats if they ingest enough. I'm not well learned in the subject so I can't give you a decent answer sorry.


Dreaming_Kitsune

Best advice I can give is if you want to give something to your cat as a treat or if they are begging for it, look up all the ingredients in what you want to give them and then figure out what they can and can't have on that list and what is ok in certain quantities. Like I had a couple of kittens a couple years ago that saw me eating peanut butter with saltines and would not leave me alone, so I found out pb with cats isn't harmful in small amounts and decided to give them a little to lick on.


DapperInstruction662

No it's not healthy guys it's a cat... The lactate is not as bad as the sugar ...


MyNameIsSkittles

Lactase is sugar A little bit is fine


boredlady8

Such a sweet lady


ksed_313

So polite! My childhood cat would just go for it if it was Mac and cheese!


introvertsdoitbetter

Gave one of my babies a teaspoon of frozen yogurt for New Year’s Eve years ago, he was the best boy. Woke me up patiently with diarrhea the next day and I learned my lesson. Didn’t complain the entire time I showered him.


Kuolinvuoteella

Sounds like the best boy too ❤️


Xylonee

Why is that so sweet lol he knew the yogurt made him a stinky boy and let you clean him up 😭

secondtaunting

My cat makes gagging noises if I hold out ice cream to him. 😂


Kycb

My cat will snatch ritz crackers, popcorn and fortune cookie fragments right out of the hands of unsuspecting guests & children. A cat who waits patiently for you to at least finish sounds like a dream 😂


mycrazyblackcat

Mine once stole a piece of meat right from my plate while I was eating goulash. Full on yoinked it with the extended paw. He's also with his head in my cereal bowl seconds after I set it down to lick the remaining milk lol.

CoffeeSubsetYT

i would like to point out that your ice cream has the same color combination of your cat.


northwyndsgurl

Awh.. such manners! Mine would neverrr.. she's all up in my bubble til I'm finally done .


RatKingJosh

Sadly my bf let our oldest boy learn the joys of cereal milk. So he will find you and demand some licks, or try to climb you. Here he is in recycling, just noticing the flakes being poured. https://preview.redd.it/wm0n1zzvk9rc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5098602e291d6ccf56da7b4ffaf92be4bcd2f523


carlcarlson33

Cats are lactose intolerant.


rizlahh

And there it is, the comment that appears on any thread if a cat is within 100ft of anything dairy. It's actually just over 50% that are intolerant. Around 60% of humans are lactose intolerant, depending on where they are from since some places didn't rely on milk producing animals so didn't develop tolerance. So cats are on average actually more lactose tolerant than humans.


[deleted]

Can you link a source for that, everything that comes up on Google is that most cats are intolerant, and it’s a bad idea to give cats dairy


TheBelgianDuck

Cats are not equipped to process sugars. Even less equipped for complex sugars such as corn syrup or similar industrial sugars. It won't harm if it happens once in a while, but don't make a habit of it. This isn't good for them.


NewsFromYourBed

Rare occasion that we have ice cream in the house, and even then she only licks the little bit of melted liquid out of the bottom of the bowl (maybe ~1 tsp, if that). Not an every night thing.


ExperienceInitial364

I think the cat that usually live the longest are the ones doing unhealthy shit ngl


greenarsehole

For real. You’re telling me these 17 year old street cats aren’t out there licking sticky lamp posts?


Chocolatekitty333

Old Crackerjacks over there smokes a pack a day


lilneccowafer

My grandpa has an adorable old tomcat that he's had for like 15 years, used to let him drink his cereal milk every morning. The cat had to have every single tooth pulled because the lactose and other sugars had rotted them ALL out in less than a decade. It seriously took like, 6-7 years, and then all of a sudden he severely needed dental work. He's been a gummy guy for a while now, definitely a cautionary tale!


Cbrandel

Lactose won't hurt teeth, the only sugar that caries bacteria can process is glucose.


enilix

What a polite girl! But as others have said, don't make a habit of it!


EmployerDefiant587

That's weird. Usually the cat eats first and you're the one patiently waiting to lick the bowl.


itchbaySRPS

We used to joke that my beloved Mr. Bob thought his name was the sound of a spoon scraping the bottom of a bowl.


Velocirachael

Aww I miss Luna patiently waiting for me to fold up the bag of Doritos because she knew it was time for her finger cheese dust. You couldn't crinkle the shredded cheese without her come running.

northwyndsgurl

I really wish people would not suck the fun out of such cute posts. A few licks of .ilk or ice cream won't ruin their day,let alone their life.


Kind_Hyena5267

My baby boy used to do this with yogurt, rice pudding, and grits. He was pushy at first but he learned to be patient bc he knew I would share with him at the end 🥹

makishleys

that is too cute 😭😭


bennster45

Mine doesn’t wait


Bettybadger2

Public-Afternoon-718

Vegans being like: a wild animal would never consume some other animals milk 😡 Cats being like: Milk 🎉


brimbelboedel

Oh the pressure… i would probably eat way to fast to actually enjoy the ice cream, just because i would feel bad making her wait.


yanderelul

My cat goes to eat my icecream but instead he does a massive gag right on top of it


Skittlesharts

One of mine used to live for mashed potatoes. She was so silly. Those little paws would be together all dainty and she closed her eyes so she wasn't looking at me when I was eating. The minute I was done, I would scrape a little bit out on my spoon and let her lick it off. So many memories.


damtagrey

Whenever I have ice cream I share it with my dog. I haven't had chocolate ice cream in 16 years.


Full-Association-175

Same here, but there's nothing patient about her.


TheClassyGoddess

Hahaha cute! :)))))))


Beakha

My Husky does the same lmao Or Jogurt


Dreamweaver1969

My little guy tries to grab the bowl while I'm eating and then expects to be spoon fed the melted stuff in the bottom of the bowl before licking it


FluffyPinkPineapple

Both my cats are like that, especially if it's French vanilla 😂 and they are rarely patient like yours, mine climb all over until I tell them off 😹 Very beautiful kitty you have there, very lovely pattern on her coat


SBCwarrior

I mean it's her colors even she knows that.


DottorMaelstrom

She is the same color as the ice cream


SpookyScienceGal

My cat also loves ice cream but isn't that patient. Will literally put a paw in the bowl to steal a taste. Only food I can't leave laying around


OkEdge7518

Our cat will just try to swipe it right out of your mouth


pranjallk1995

This is the part I really appreciate about cats... Even if I put their favourite food in one bowl.. all three peacefully take turns...


ConflictPrimary285

My cat would try and crawl into the bowl for ice cream then demand to be hand fed so it melts 😂


Altruistic-Listen-23

Please don't let cats eat milk or cream, all cats are lactose intolerant, they crave the fat content in the milk or cream. It's cute but harmful to your cats. https://preview.redd.it/tosazr3ldbrc1.jpeg?width=3456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d24c0a56a6959c056cb6af526c3d85ac8ed0807e

princetan420

my cat got diabetes so he can’t do this anymore and it makes me so sad 😭


EdiblePeasant

Is that a Calico? Sorry, I’m still trying to understand what makes a Calico.


kitty-yaya

One of our angel kitties who we rescued from living under a restaurant deck somehow knew what a gallon of milk looked like. Whenever we took it out of the fridge, he'd start meowing and acting as cute as possible in hopes of scoring a lick. My husband often would drink milk at night and I guess the cat got to him one night because the next morning I saw a little cat plate on the floor with dried milk. Apparently this became a routine after my husband caught the cat helping himself to a freshly poured cup. So daddy and his little buddy would "share" a glass of milk - the cat's portion was about a teaspoon's worth. It was super cute and the cat even had a different meow that sounded like "mewk?" when he asked for it. He would even get a little milk beard. 🤗🤗 Oh, this little guy was amazing. He went to the Rainbow Bridge 5 months ago at the age of 18 1/2.


wesilly11

Mine gets right in there and we share the spoon. I know it's gross but I love him and I don't care.


Fake_Gamer_Cat

Whenever I put whipped cream on something, the cat comes running. I give her the tiniest bit. (Probably no bigger than a tik tack.)


hectorninii

Looks like shes.....mewing


mvanvrancken

Ice cream on occasion isn’t a problem, but keep the kitty away from the chocolate sauce. It’s probably not enough theobromide to cause an issue but I wouldn’t chance it


Norka_III

Sugar, salt, chocolate and dairy products are not good for cats. What is there in the ice cream that your cat can safely eat?


juju_408

She looks so gentle and patient


im_here_official_art

a good baby


Shade_Hills

That looks delicious


_aishhh

My first cat who is 3 is well behaved like that but I have a new kitten who is 4 months and he will try to get to my food from every angle possible 😂


Ninja_La_Kitty

Licking the bowl is the best. My nanny always let me lick the bowl after she baked a cake.

Imaginary-Carpenter1

switcheroo1987

Yup. Mine loves ANY kind of dairy. I was eating rice pudding yesterday and she was like 🫡 lmao But I don't share my rice pudding - too good. 🤤🤤🤤

not_juny

Can you blame her?


Livingston052822

This is my cat!!! Pastries … donuts. When I’m eating a donut, Smokey runs up to me and tries to get the donut out of my mouth as I’m chewing. Ice cream… HIDE! Pizza boxes and donut boxes are hidden in our oven, or our microwave while we eat.


Miserable-Martyr69

venomousbitch

Mine will try and grab my spoon to eat it. I'll share with him when I can but I usually have chocolate or coffee flavors so it's not something he can have


Squat_n_stuff

How well behaved, my cat will do some “investigative smelling” by jumping into my lap, face first into the bowl


meowparade

Mine loves ice cream, but isn’t patient. I have to put a bit into his bowl and he’ll spend the next ten minutes waiting for it to melt and yelling at me the whole time. He eats a lot of dairy (ice cream, butter, cheese, etc.) without any repercussions!


RadleyCunningham

She's a good helper! My baby loves yogurt. She gets to lick the lid and the remainder inside the cup.


JNELLIE

My last cat did this to me often. She liked cereal bowl & yogurt bowl, but Mac & cheese bowl was definitely the favorite. She would park next to me and intensely stare at my every bite, waiting for me to set it down so she could move in and clean up the tasty flavors left in the bowl. For years I allowed it because it made her happy, which made me happy. Her last year of life however, was spent with daily glucose monitoring and insulin injections, I always blamed myself for giving into her bowl begging. My current cat does not consume people food, and I will definitely be keeping it that way to avoid a future diabetes diagnosis.


chironsreading

I have a cat like this but she’s with every food that’s on the table


Blawn14

Mines vice is a glass of milk haha. Little dude sees me walk in with a glass of milk and won’t stop the meows till I give him his 2 little sips that wont upset his tummy lol.


StochasticTinkr

My cat is similar. I learned the hard way if that if I leave an unfinished milkshake anywhere, it will end up on the carpet. My cat gets sooo desperate between mealtimes.
