Not dumb! It never occured to me to give it to them in loose form either. I figured the packets they sold were so you could make your own toys or replace the old stuff in existing toys! Now THATS dumb! LOL.... we make a good pair, don't we?

I tried giving it to my guys, and know what? Only my KITTENS reacted to it in loose form. Pouncer (my niphead) ignored it, Harry looked at it like he knew he'd end up with flecks of it in his white fur (he's proud of his beautiful orange and white self ) and well... everyone but Flutter and Angel left it alone.
