Was your cat yaking it upafterwards? My friend had a lab that ate some Devil's Spit hot sauce that was spilt on the floor when me and the wife went over there for a barbeque. He was soon sorry he did that with him acting like he was choking and running right for the water bowl.
My dog eats anything... well, except for cranberries and celery, so that point is moot there. My cat, Mogui however, ate banana bread last night. I thought it was the funniest damn thing aside from my other cat, Flea....... eating plastic! When we bring groceries home in the plastic sacks, and if we don't put them away right away, she'll jump on the table or go to the kitchen and start eating the plastic.
