By weird I mean outside of regular cat diet, things like cornflakes, ketchup or banana bread (these are real examples from my and my friends' cats).

I once housesat and the cat would bite any soft fruit as well as through the plastic bags of snacks if left unattended. I'm attaching the photo of what a peach bitten by that cat looked like. I hope the attachment works, first time trying this

I've found stolen tomatoes and eggplant that look just like that peach. It's like they were playing with it.

At least in my case the cat didn't take the fruit elsewhere, it would just bite it on the spot. Cleaning up after a sticky mess of fruit all over the apartment doesn't sound fun...

I had ferrets for a while. they liked to steal and hide things. you learn to check under the couch weekly just so you don't find things by smell. and hope it's not somehow inside the couch.

mostly it was the one guy, who preferred his chips and sweets, but knew his sister liked other things. she didn't eat tomatoes or apples or fruit, but he'd carry that stinky orange down stairs for her, lips peeled back so he didn't have to taste it too much.
