I'm not talking about cories, here....

i never noticed how similar bags of (land-loving) cat treats were to bags of algae wafers. But, I just broke up some of an algae wafer for my snails, and one of my cats started meowing at me, begging for what he thought were treats. So, after trying to convince him they were algae and he wouldn't like them, I gave in to his incessant meowing (my parenting skills aren't great, they are spoiled) and tossed him a tiny piece.

I had assumed he would turn up his nose...like he does to most things I try to feed him. Nope, he ate the darn thing, and then asked for more! (I didn't give him any, not sure how healthy they are for cats).
 
Probably not....but he's got a sensitive stomach, so I didn't want risk stepping in kitty puke tomorrow morning when I get out of bed. Eeewww....
 
I once had spilled a little bit of Betta Bites while feeding the fish, but I was late for work and hand to wait till later to clean it up from the carpet. Mysteriously, the Betta Bites disappeared from the carpet. Neither the cat nor the dog have fessed up...it's still a mystery ;)
 
I had a cat that was a master jar opener. After a couple experiences coming home to find my fishy flakes knocked off the shelf and lidless, all over the floor and mostly eaten, I learned to keep them in a cupboard.
 
At my old job working at a public nature preserve, people would sometimes only stop by to drop off unwanted cats and dogs. I was only able to save two very young kitties the whole time I was there, only because they willingly came to me. When I kept the first kitten in my house for a few days before turning her over to an adoption center, she got behind my aquarium stand (which is completely open in the back but has a door on the front) the first day and found my bags of hikari fish food! A 1.7 oz unopened bag of good quality food was almost completely gone by the time I got back home that day! When I kept the second kitten a few months later, and had a brand new, newly opened bag of the same food in the same spot, the second kitten copied the first one and ate almost all of it! They were very similar to one another in many other ways, too, like how they were both too sweet and cute to be yelled at! I've never before had cats or known cats that liked fish food, but it makes sense that they'd like the fish meal that's in it. I also think the two kittens I saved had been starved :(
 
One morning I was in a hurry and dropped a huge bottle of Gold Fish flakes. I scooped most of it up but figured I would vacuum when I got home. Well, when I did get home there wasn't a flake to be found. So I guess dogs like fish food too!
 
My cat loves algae wafers as well

and frozen fish food
and fish pellets
and yoghurt
and chilli sauce
and baked potato
and................. you get the picture

and this is the Persian that's supposed to have a sensitive stomach!!!!

One thing I am grateful for - she hasn't tried the fish - yet!!!
