Jonesy likes chicken layer mash
I make breakfast mash for my chickens, starting with hot water over layer mash, then I add other leftovers like bread, cooked rice, cat food not eaten through the previous night, vegetable scraps etc. When I put it into dishes outside, I leave the spoon out and Jonesy rushes towards it and licks it clean. At first, I thought it was his cat food that was enticing him, but it happens even if there is no cat food to put into it. He licks up the layer mash which is wheat, millet, cracked corn, calcium etc. I figure he eats so little of it, it's nothing to worry about. His sister, Ripley tried it once, following his example, but can't see what the fuss is about and hasn't bothered since.
Neither of them are at all food-obsessed (which is a great blessing at dinner time....). They eat well but don't go crazy when the food goes down. However, they do love cooked chicken, which they only get as little treats with clicker training, or when I have a pill to get down them. Works every time!
What else have others found their cat likes, inexplicably?
