I am certain that cats can taste sweets and that some cats actually have a sweet tooth. I've had a few who had a definite preference for sugary things. The scientists who claim otherwise should live with more cats.

Muffins are a great favorite and since they are not supposed to like sweet things I assume it's the texture. And doughnut holes! Although, I have to say, I don't think those scientists know everything. Maybe some kitties DO enjoy sweet things! Also, my cat Jack used to gaze at himself in the mirror--it was just so neat! And one evening I was snacking on prunes and that's when I discovered that Billi Bi my tuxedo boy runs off with the plastic lid. He looks so funny going down the hall with that big yellow lid in his mouth! The first time he walked around with it he misjudged it's width and bumped into the doorframe!
