Cranberry Cat Treats

**Uabassoon** · 01-31-2004, 05:28 PM

I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried them before. I bought a bag of them today, they are supposed to help the urinary tract. I know that in humans cranberries can help reduce the risk of a UTI, so I wonder if it really does help for kitties too. Corkscrew really loved them (but he'll eat aynthing). Tibby sniffed it, then swatted it around the living room

. Here's a picture of the bag.

Where did you find those? My vet recommended them for Pete and Twicket--both have had PU surgery and still have urinary tract issues. I haven't been able to find them, but I'd love to give them a try.

I got them at Petsmart. If you can't find them let me know and I can send you a few bags. It costs around $2 a bag.

I didn't know that cats liked cranberrys. However, if they do it would make sense that it would work about the same on kitties as it does on humans. Alot of human drugs work the same on kitties, so why not cranberrys.

I may have to see if my two like them. Thanks for the idea.

I never saw them here. I'm sure Luna wouldn't eat them, but it would be great she would, because she always has these UTI problems.
Lily would most likely eat them, she eats everything!

You really have the most amazing cat treats over there...never seen something like that over here...
They look like some kind of cereals to me however.

WOW! What a neat treat!! I didn't realize they had those either! Mine are so darn picky that I doubt they would eat them but I may just have to give it a try!!

I think someone here mentioned them once. Something to the effect that they loved them so much they practically took her fingers off. We tried them with no luck. My 2 swatted them around and my sister's 5 ignored them completely.

I'll have to look for those at Pet Smart. I have read that cranberries can be good for cats urinary function. I hope my cats will eat them.

Great Idea! I will look for them for my Kitties! I hope they like them!

Thank you for sharing.

It seems that Tibby has changed her mind. Today when I gave them to Corkscrew she stole one and ate it! Despite the fact that I had given her some of her regular treats.

I buy them for my cats (at PetsMart) and Scout loves them and will steal Ripley and Jazz's share. I have to persuade Ripley and Jazz to eat them by breaking them in half and showing them the cranberry stuff inside. It's the only way they will eat them. Also, Ripley will eat them one day and refuse to the next but he is very picky.

Wow, those are cool. I have the exact same brand's dental treats, my cats love them, they have that creamy center. I haven't seen the cranberry kind yet though, I'll keep an eye out, they look yummy!
