Treats Instead Of Food? HELP!

[lvpets2002]

Yes I have a couple of babies that try to do that.. I feed everyone a plate of wet food in the morning & if they eat that = then meowmom puts down treat bowls.. My girls also get dry food all day long.. Good Luck

My father in law is much like your grandfather and will give treats all the time if I wasn't always on his a$$. Treats have to stop completely for a few days until Angel goes back on her normal food then and only then should she be allowed to have any treats. And only a few treats. And only after she has eaten. If she does not eat then she doesn't need treats and should not get any. She is not getting the nutrients she needs from treats. Remind your grandfather that Angel cannot live on treats cause she will end up getting sick cause there is just not enough of what she needs in them. I hope this helps a little and maybe talk to your grandma and have her talk to your grandfather instead of you if you prefer it that way. Good Luck and keep us posted.

And the best way to have this happen is to send grandpa on a trip for a few days. IF he is anything like my Dad.

I have one cat who would live on treats if she could. I now give her 'treats' that are actually Nutro dry cat food. She thinks they're great!

I do that too. I give mine exigent by royal canin. I buy a small bag and they love them. Think it's treats and it is really cat food.

I never even thought of suggesting that.

My present kitty is not fond of "treats" at all (won't eat them usually) but when my past kitties got too fond of treats, I stopped feeding them as treats, and would bury a couple in their dry food bowl, so that they would smell the treat, and eat the food instead.

Another thing I have done in the past is that I always feed dry food, and would feed canned food as a special "treat" on occasion (My current kitty does not get canned food because of her digestive problems)

Snow is like that too! She'll sniff them and walk away
