Cats are NOT strictly meat eaters – they will eat some vegetation (Go to the supermarket and look at the labels. Healthy cats eat a range of foods (Not just meat).
Ferrets also like to eat non-meat products (ie bread soaked in milk)
Dolphins (well whales in general – what do Dugongs eat? What do sea cows (now extinct eat?)

Snakes only eat meat and have only eaten meat – (Who feeds their snake pasta, peas and the like – I know some talk about gut loading of their feed).

Australis has sited scientific studies stating snakes do not have taste buds – I agree with him as I cannot see any reason for them waist valuable brain processing time on taste sensory (taste buds).
