I think you just need to stop cold turkey. Pick A TIME like the 10 AM snack break, give one, and that is it until the next day. Believe me, I know it will take at least two days to get the message through to the cat. The rest of he time you need to be retrainig that hugs and snuggles are GOOD things. (Good luck!)
I don't want to stop all together. If I do she will start to throw up hairballs again. The treats are hairball control. I've tried the stuff in a tube, but it's like pulling teeth trying to give it to her. I've been trying to show her that we don't get treats everytime Mom goes into the kitchen, we just get treats once a day.
