    I've never seen a cat eat cashews and peanuts! Very cute! Cashews are actually my own favourite. 🙂

      Dearest Kim,
      Oh, whenever I ate those unsalted mixed nuts, Dido had to have a sampling of cashews and peanuts. He sure was NUTS about them! His brother Spooky also eats a few peanuts but no other kitty ever wanted them.
      Yes, they are my favorite too.

    What a great video. Precious actually likes Brazil nuts. I can not even open the container without
    her begging for her bits. I break off tiny bits until she has had 1/2 of one. They never seem to upset her so I gather they are safe. Lynn and Precious

      Dearest Lynn and Precious,
      Oh, always had to share a few with Did—he LOVED them.
      Good to hear that Precious also is fond of nuts.

    What a sweet kitty! I've never heard of a cat that likes nuts, so Dido certainly broke the mold.

      No, we never had any other kitty liking nuts, except his brother Spooky eating a few peanuts.

    That is a wonderful memory. Thank you for sharing.

    While our kitties never went after nuts, Jezebel (who passed away spring of 2023) liked salty tidbits. In her (and our) younger years she actually stole chips right out of my husband's hand as he put one in his mouth (!) and later enjoyed a tidbit from my guilty pleasure of McDonald's French fries. Hugs, my dear.

      Nuts seems to be rather rare for any kitty but oh, do they LOVE our human food and/or treats!

      Dearest Miyako,
      Some people just dislike cats and kitties sense that!
      Too bad he did not get along well with them while feeding them for 3 months while his friend got hospitalized... Probably he didn't realize that the kitties missed their human parent and were kind of grieving.
