Hah! I thought my cat was a weirdo for loving corn so much, but I guess it's not that uncommon. I only give him niblets though, not the entire cob.
My dog loves corn on the cob. You have to be careful or she'll steal it right off the counter. She eats the whole thing.
my cat used to eat popcorn. Then I realized she was eating it for the butter. When i stopped eating buttered popcorn she stopped, still makes me a little sad. It was really cute.
My husband's cat used to rummage in the garbage to pull out corn cobs! Worse than a dog, they'd have to hide the bag to keep him from shredding it. He knew it was in there!
