food

As a general rule, cats LOVE food. Any food they can get their paws on. Whether it's human food, cat food or unmentionable things off the street, cats adore food. Here are 11 photos that celebrate just how much cats love food. For more cute cat videos, have a look at these wet cats that aren't happy.

This is one of the most annoying yet most hilarious cat traits there are! If you happen to have a cat that doesn't bother you when it comes to eating absolutely everything, consider yourself lucky. We got two cats, one who will be in your face from the moment you open the fridge then the moment you finish your last bite. And even then, you gotta clean up ASAP before the little dumpster kitty will attack any leftovers she could get her paws on. 

Then, there's the other one -- gentle, sweet, never begs for food... Unless you happen to have sunflower seeds or an equivalent salty snack. In that case, there's no way this cat will leave empty-handed, he is determined and he will get what he wants. Which is a single seed. 

Cats are hilarious when it comes to food, they don't give up and they try to steal our food in a not-so-obvious way, but let's be real, it's always obvious. That's just what makes it all the more hilarious! Thanks to Twitter user, @iHugMajima, for bringing this thread of cats stealing food into our lives! 

One word of caution, do not scroll through this list on an empty stomach. We know this because it's exactly what we did and now the hanger is real. 

If you have eaten or aren't hungry, then feel free to scroll down below and check out all the incredible home-made Korean meals made by an Instagram user, @dogmeatsfood. If you haven't already suspected, there is something a tad bit curious about each and every image below. We're not quite sure what it is though and would like your help in figuring it out. What is it about this drooling-collection of food that also makes us laugh?

Mmm... food. We, humans, love food but do you know who loves food even more? Your pet(s). If your pet is anything like ours, you probably don't get a moment of peace from the moment you open the fridge to the moment you finish your last bite. And of course, if you leave your plate unattended (even if it's empty), your pet will be there faster than you can blink! They are truly sneaky animals. 

Let's be real though, we obviously can't feed our pets 24/7, they would never stop eating and their health would be in jeopardy. They don't know it but we don't feed them 24/7 because we love them and care about their health. Sometimes, we wish we could tell them that so they don't think we're absolute villains. 

We're pretty sure pets think about food 98% of their day, and the other remaining amount they're just dreaming of food.  In collaboration with Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we get a glimpse of what that moment is truly like.

Food. We take pictures of it and upload them for all to see. What for? It's not like we'll revisit those images. Or maybe some do. However, we as humans always share with one another what we had to eat that day, and what we plan to eat later that day. We simply can't help talking about food! Why? Because food is amazing. Cats understand, cats absolutely love to eat. We understand that because a majority of us humans also love to eat. But cats really love to eat. 

If cats could share their most recently consumed meal with one another, how would that look? What would they say? Thanks to Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we have the answer to these tantalizing questions below.

Here's a story that will fill your hearts with all the feels! Long-time volunteers at the Stevens Swan Humane Society (SSHS), Rob and Hillary Dunn, decided to continue their new tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving with those they love most - the animals at the shelter. For the second year in a row, the Dunns have made a full Thanksgiving meal for every dog at the SSHS

According to Go Travel Blogger, every single dog at the shelter got its very own plate! A plate complete with white-meat turkey, green beans, and sweet potatoes. Of course, all the food given was healthy and safe for the animals to enjoy. The cats at the shelter were treated to bowls of their own, a pumpkin pie mix. The Dunn's graciously took on this monumental task and prepped everything out of their pockets.

You can help the Dunns reach their simple goal of raising $500 each for their favorite shelter, the Stevens Swan Humane Society, by donating to either's Rob's fundraiser or Hillary's, all funds go directly to the shelter.  

We hope all these beautiful animals have their next Thanksgiving meal in a loving forever home of their own.

Officially relaxed, Earnie takes to exploring and makes a huge, life changing discovery. The existence of wet food. Now, he must find a way to get it, and he will do so at any cost. So, he sets out on a quest.

We can't help but be protective of animals. We love them too much. They're just so tiny and squishy and pet-able, even the big ones. So, when this Japanese trend of making adorable animals into edible rice creations, we were a little confused. Because... how are we supposed to eat something so incredibly adorable? 

We can't help but admire the creativity though. Even if we probably couldn't eat it ourselves, these animal rice creations are so insanely cute and adorable that we just had to share them with you guys. We promise the closest thing we do to eating cuties like these is kissing our cats and dogs on their foreheads. 

When Twitter user, Kelly-Leigh Cooper (@kl_coop), accidentally spilled her cat's food all over the floor, she managed to capture his reaction, and that reaction has taken over Twitter. The priceless reaction of a cat who has just witnessed a miracle -- endless food. "So much food, where do you begin? What is the first move? Is all this really for me?" These are all thoughts we imagine are running through this adorably expressive cat's mind. 

Other Twitter users were quick to join the conversation and add just how much they adore the cat's mind-blowing expressions! Some users even began sharing their own experiences with overwhelming food. Others just couldn't get over the adorable cat, and honestly, neither can we! 

A new study from animal nutrition specialists at the University of Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, have discovered something quite interesting. Turns out, giving your cat one big meal is more satisfying to them than providing them with a few small meals throughout the day. 

Weird, right? That's exactly the opposite of what's been told to us. Yet, out of eight indoor cats, who over the course of 21 days were fed once daily and then fed four times daily, the cats who ate just the one, big meal a day had a higher level of three appetites-regulating hormones. The researchers claim they were more satisfied and not only more full but also burning their fat stores and even had more protein to help build some muscle.

Oh man, don't look through this on an empty stomach. All these animals (...food?) look so delectable and scrumptious, we're craving them all! 

Except for the mop, only because you can't eat a mop. I mean, you could, but you definitely shouldn't. It was imperative that we featured it, regardless, it's just too good not to. 

And here comes the belly rumbles. Scroll down and try to see if you can tell the difference between animal vs food while we go eat whatever we can find in our fridge. Happy nomming!
