Humphrey is a real-life Garfield, who will only eat lasagne. The picky cat's love affair with the pasta dish began after sneaking a bite of his owner's leftovers.

Man, Happycat has really let himself go.
Seriously, Humprey could use less lasagne and more exercise. That cat looks like a candidate for a kitty heart attack.
LOL. Carb loading kitty. THe guy needs to take up ‘jogging” or Italian. Sweet. Look at the tongue.
Apparently he’s saying “THPFFFF!” to cholesterol.
Ooookaaay...but I want to see him drink out of the glass with that straw, LOL!

Maybe he’s just big boned.
When did Carrot Top form his own cult?
There is no such thing as a “finicky” cat. Spoiled, yes. Finicky, no. He wouldn’t eat anything for a week? Let him go two.
That’s my philosophy with cat food. I’ve never had to implement, though, since my cats never refused their food. Probably has to do with them all being former strays.
Yup. My dad told me once that there's no such thing as food you don't like. There's just food you're not hungry enough to eat yet.
A pasta eating cat is no big deal. Our dog Kat (short for Katrina as she is a rescued dog from the hurricane) loves garlic shrimp on linguini.
I knew of a cat who would eat the leftover juice and seeds when we were eating watermelon. He also ate some of a raw halloween pumpkin after it got all soft.
My two are the same way. Former strays that have never turned their nose up at anything I’ve given them.
Who doesn't?
I had a cat who loved watermelon, bananas, and pineapple. He also loved to lick the caramel dip put on apple slices. He was a cool dude.
I went back for her sibling who she was playing with the day I grabbed her, but it was gone, either eaten by dogs, plucked by a hawk, or run over in the nearby street. I'm glad I got her; she proves I'm capable of love.
Anyway, my story: I did not know what to feed her. Her ribs were visible because her momma did not produce enough milk (we guessed). I had regular cat food, but knew kitten food has more nutrients/calories, so I defrosted a pound of ground venison and she gobbled it up. Then I found a couple of pounds of nasty old frozen salmon in my freezer. She gobbled THAT up. Yucky, fishy-smelling tilapia? Down her gullet. Well, soon I was out of standard food and started giving her pizza-topping meat: cubed ham, pepperoni, and sandwich meat. Soon, I was out of all that, too, so I began to mix her fun meat with regular cat food, with poor results. I was really scraping the bottom of barrel (refridgerator?) in an attempt to fatten her up. After trial and error, I found that she would actually eat anything as long as it had come in contact with bacon grease: Broccoli, carrots, soy beans(edamame), spaghetti, tomato, dried crusts of bread: You name it, she would eat it if it tasted of bacon grease.
But then I felt like an idiot, because I realized I had fed her all sorts of expensive meat when a cockroach rubbed in bacon grease would have sufficed.

He’s bloated from all the salt.
