Blackberries, both my dogs pick out the ripe ones and eat them straight from the bush. My last dog, same breed, did the same. Doesn't seem to do them any harm but getting the juice stains out of their white wool is bloody difficult.

I don't have a pet at them moment (apart from 9 finned thingies, which eat algae, and soy-based meals), but when I was young (about 87 years ago), we had a cat (

) which would eat anything off the floor to prove how hungry he was, but was VERY fussy about whatever was put in his bowl.

Our dog would eat anything - we gave him all our scraps, and he'd eat the lot. When we had a roast chicken, we'd give him the whole carcase. The weirdest thing he ate was a goat head, which he'd dug up form the neighbours. Well... he would have eaten it, but I confiscated it and put it down the offal hole.
The weirdest thing he ever ate was apple cores, because he didn't like them. He seemed to think that anything we ate, MUST have been food. So, if I was eating an apple, and threw the core away, he'd retrieve it, and chew at it, but didn't really like it.

When we first got our dog (as a puppy), our youngest was a toddler, and the two of them used to steal each other's food. The dog would jump up and steal #3's icecream/biscuit/fruit, and in retaliation, when we put a dog biscuit in the dog's bowl, #3 would steal it. Two unfortunate things came out of this Food War: it taught the dog to jump up to try to get food from people's hands, and he ended up with a kink in his tail when the war escalated and #3 shut the sliding door on him. Well... we think that's what happened.

My sister has a spaniel that climbs her fruit trees and steals the fruit so the birds don't get them first.

KY warming gel solves that problem.

Our cats love the milk left over when you have Weetbix, and I did have one cat that loved licorice. I only found out when I came into the lounge one night and found her with her head in the bag, slobbering away. I sincerely hope it was the first time! The bag was hers after that!

Smooch was whinging one night when I was cutting up broccoli so I gave her the stalk to chew on, thinking she would bugger off. Wrong - see the attached shot. She chewed on it for about 10 minutes, eating some of the leaves and also the hard stalk. Weird!

My dog quite often takes a dump, turns round, and eats the turd while it's still steaming.

....Means I don't have to pick it up I spose....

Funny you should say that, so does my cat. He also likes Chippies too.

well one of my dog's eats just about anything.
apple's, orange's, banana's and it's a fight for the grapes as he just stands under the vine and nibbles away.
