Back in the dark ages when I undertook my training, I was taught cats could not taste sweet....... However someone it seems has always forgotten to tell my cats! I have never believed that one.

but i suppose it's possible they don't need full taste on their tongues when they have such a keen sense of smell. as the majority of taste is from smell! :)
