Is eating worms bad for a cat?

[Allee Toler]

I make a slurry for GiGi. I have left over cubes of it (from being in an ice tray) and I dropped one once. That cat went crazy licking it. Now whenever I pull it out of the freezer to get to the normal ice he meows all crazy like. Nearly knocking me over every time I go into the kitchen.

So we started to give him two cubes every other day. I put it in the microwave so it's cooked at least. He licks the plate clean in less than a minute.

The mix is:
Butterworms
Mealworms
Pheonixworms
Silkworms
Pedialite
Calcium
Vitamins
Whey Protein.

I've also dropped a worm a few times (before his obsession over the iced treat) and he'd suck the guts out of them!

Seriously, the way he acts you'd think he was starved or something! I'll try and record it tomorrow. Lol. It's quite hilarious.

My gecko thinks she's a cat and my cat thinks he's a gecko! Trying to keep GiGi from eating kitty crunchies all day and trying to keep Boomer from getting into the dresser full of worms all night! It's nonsense!

Thanks for moving it. I wasn't sure where to put it. Lol.

They shouldn't have any ill effects to your cat Boomer. Protein yum

I don't think it would. Nice mixture.

Thanks. Lol. My sister-in-law was worried sick. She's all "he's a CAT not a LIZARD! Don't feed him bugs!" I told her it wouldn't do anything... but I wanted to make sure. Lol.

My cats follow me around at feeding time, hoping I'll drop a dozen or two crickets, supers, mealworms and roaches. They really love their butterworms and silkmoths. One of my cats made it to 14 before she died (melamine in the food, not from bugs).
Give yours a treat, don't worry.
