I beg to differ my cats have sweet tooth's they don't eat candy but they steal cookies eat cake with icing and take over any ice cream they see always

my cat could locate a chocolate bar, sealed in its wrapper, tied up in a plastic bag and hidden in the bottom of my purse.

I was told by a vet that it's the fat in sweets they smell and crave

moonfluenz, It's best not to let cats have things like cream or anything that isn't in their natural diet. That's advice I've heard and been given by a vet. Their guts are really specific to being carnivores, much more than for dogs.

Absolutely untrue. I give my cats a maple flavored vitamin gel that they love. Also they love Activia yogurt, their candy flavored hairball medicine, ice cream, and many other sweet flavored things. "Experts" are wrong about many things regarding cats.

Glazed cake donuts, whipped cream in a can, frosting and vanilla ice cream were favorites of one of my first cats, Missy. She was 17.

moonfluenz, heck yeah. I had a cat that ate the entire top of a cake that mom had some sugary glaze on. Also would steal donuts and eat the filling

I have had several cats who liked sweets. My most memorable sweet eater was Friskie, who absolutely loved cantaloupe.

I thought it was lizards, never would guess it was cats. Well, still, my wonderful cat is so sweet.
