Cassie kills my socks, too, if I roll them into balls and leave them about. She carefully killed eight pairs before I went to Wiscon, so I could stay in a hotel room secure in the knowledge that no socks would crawl out of the dresser and bite me.
The cats do get regular cat food with meat; we just don't cook meat for them to steal, as Raphael remarks below.
Oh, I didn't think they were really vegetarian - I was trying (and failing) to make a joke about their pursuit of the corn tortillas and meatless sausage.
Tigger was very interested in my raviolis Florentine this morning. He liked the cheese, which I expected, but also seemed to like the sauce, so I gave him a big chunk of tomato (I don't like the chunk form, myself). He ate it right up.
It's so unpredictable. My first cat would eat cabbage. One of the cats at the Grand House, Ashling, was a fiend for licorice! I never know with Tigger, so I'll offer him a bit of anything he seems interested in.
Licorice may give people high blood pressure and other problems if eaten in inordinate quantities (I ran across a medical paper the other day that actually had "following a licorice binge" in the title, which amused me). Dunno if it does anything bad to cats.
Cassie did eat the piece of tortilla she killed--she just didn't seem to enjoy it much. The quality of food that we provide for cats to steal is a constant source of disappointment to her. Though she did seem pretty happy with that loaf of crusty bread she ate the middle out of.
That reminds me -- I just saw a notice at the co-op that the makers of that bread are going out of business. It's very hard to be Cassie. Not so great for us, either.
Possibly not; then again, I no doubt interrupted the process by putting the potatoes in a warm room before they were adequately either frozen or dried.
It's good for cats to like pumpkin. It's often recommended by veterinarians for constipation, a thing very elderly cats can suffer from.
One of our last batch of ancient cats loved pumpkin, but the rest disdained it.
