If you have pets, what is a weird thing they do?

If you don't have pets, feel free to answer for human housemates' foibles.

My cat has decided that many desserts are cat food, despite cats' purported inability to taste sweetness. This includes the inside of sandwich cookies and marshmallows. She tried to tell me an apple fritter was cat food yesterday with the pointed food-sniffing she uses when she thinks she'll like something, but I was letting her have none of it.

She doesn't do this with ice cream.

My cat has tried to eat a cookie more than once. She mostly ignores human food, but I've learned I can't rely on that and leave a plate within reach.

Cats aren't supposed to be able to taste sweetness? Soooo, why do the bad cat treats (and dog treats) all have corn syrup in them? Darned ignorant pet food companies.

Corn syrup is a cheap binder, I guess.
