Squeak Has An Addiction...

[Pawla]

I have no idea how to break that addiction...hmm if it were me I would probably just give the kitty a few at only one time a day, and then after awhile she will not expect it all the time, but this does mean having to say no that cute face lol

It is sooo very hard to say no to her. She will come into the kitchen, and stand up on her hind legs for me to pick her up. She gets treats on the counter. I've tried just picking her up, and putting her up there just for petting, but she's not satisfied.

Oh wow, I thought that my Bobo was the only cat that did that. The only difference is that he stand up on his hind legs for me to pick him up and hug him and scratch his head forever. Its so cute and makes me feel soooo loved

Did the vet say she had to be on hairball treatment? Just curious.

There is a hairball dry food you can get - from stores and from the vet.

Just a thought.

No, the vet didn't say she needed to be on hairball treatment. She just has a problem throwing them up without the treats. She would throw up at least once a week, and since I started feeding her the treats, it's stopped.

Ellie would do that. Squeak only does it if it's going to benefit her. LOL! She's not much on being picked up. When he would do it I felt loved, when she does it, I just feel used! (Just kidding!)

Boy, do I feel like a meanie! I never gave my fur posse treats until just a few months ago when Dr. Lee gave one of my cats a few Greenies. I give them out sparingly at night, just 2 or 3 bites each. I know how addictive those treats can be. When I had dogs, I used to give them jerky treats. OMG! My son took pix of them getting into the treat cabinet, one playing the lookout, the other, the thief. I don't want to get my cats into that predicament now. I feel for ya because I know how persuasive they can be w/the yowling. I'd wean them off slowly if you can.

I'd like to, but she is soooo demanding! I feel as if I'm being a mean Mom if I don't give in to her. I'm telling you, it's a good thing I don't have two-legged kids!
