I noticed this about my cat. She loves BBQ chips, and now she's eating left overs from Ms Vickies Jalapeno chips from my bowl. I find that pretty funny lol. She wont really eat regular or otherwise non spicy chips, either.

my cat loves scotch. MUST be single malt scotch, not whiskey or any other liquors. No vodka, no tequila, just scotch.

nevermind, I'm not gay so I don't have a cat

you may not be gay, but a cat would be the closest to pussy that you'd ever get.

My cat doesn't like spicy stuff, but my dog will lay and chew on a jalapeno for hours.

She's dumb.

Our cats will steal something spicy occasionally. It doesn't seem to bother them.

The dog would get fat face if he ate a hot pepper.

Your cat's poop is gonna smell real bad. I wouldn't give spicy people food to a cat.

My cat used to like eating lettuce and broccoli, it's like eating grass for them (I generally wouldn't give her too much of that).

I definitely does. My fat cat stole a jalapeño once and ate it. She made the funniest face I have seen an animal make to this date, and drank for 30 minutes afterwards. That'll teach her.

I had a cat that loved beer once. He used to go around licking the tops of beer bottles during parties. I tested it once by pouring about a teaspoon of my beer into my hand and offering it to him, he lapped it up like it was nothing. My current cat hates beer but loves maple syrup and most sweet things.

Maybe your cat just likes the salt?

Haha that is funny. Did the cat get drunk or was it not enough? I remember giving a little beer to chipmunks at camp, quite funny. Guess it's not only humans that love beer. :awe:

And yeah, this explains why my cat's poop smells so horrible very now and then.

I prefer Rachael's Jalapeno Chips and yes, one of my cats licks my fingers and loves that stuff.
