Cute Cats & Ice Cream

Did you know I have a page on my ice cream recipes website about animals eating ice cream? I had been looking at YouTube videos a while ago and could not believe how many videos people had uploaded of their pets eating ice cream. From cats and dogs to horses, rabbits and even lizards! So I revisited a few of them today. The cats were particularly interesting as they had such a focused, yet deft way of devouring their favorite sweet treat! This first one shows a cat eating ice cream from the bottom of its owner's ice cream cone. The second shows a cat eating ice cream in a more delicate way.

My mind then turned to what has to be the cutest kitten I have ever seen - Chloe who belongs to my dear friend Mary in London. A bengal kitten discovering the fun of a wicker basket for the first time is a joy to behold. The basket had contained locally made foods that I had taken as a present for Mary but Chloe decided it was to be her new toy basket!

Here is the video clip I took of Chloe in her basket. I dare you not to smile when you watch it.

NOTE: Chloe has not (as yet) eaten ice cream ... but she certainly looked on with interest that day as she watched myself and Mary eating Eton Messs with vanilla ice cream in the pub!

Animals & Ice Cream

There’s nothing more cute than a puppy or kitten doing something innocent but fun. As a child I remember my little Yorkshire Terrier enjoying the bottom part of my ice cream cone which I would snap off for her as she waited patiently whilst watching me eat most of the ice cream. Maybe it was the cold temperature, but she would never just grab the little ice cream cone all in one go; she would just take a lick then taste it over and over before then gingerly but eagerly taking another. It was so cute! What’s more she loved it too.

Those were the days before video cameras and the Internet so I wondered if with today’s technology I could find other people’s pets with a similar love for ice cream. Sure enough, on YouTube I came across some wonderful clips and compiled my own dedicated page of animals eating ice cream. There you can download clips of dogs, cats, birds, even rabbits, horses and a lizard all eating ice cream!

Unusual animals can be really interesting, especially when they’re young. Here’s a website I found with some great photos of baby animals – from goats, to bears, turtles and lemurs to gorillas and lots more. A great collection of photos for animal lovers to enjoy.
