Treats

[Grace]

I'm one of the never people. Our cats have never been interested in the pre-packaged treats. I'm assuming that's what this is about??

Now if you're talking cheese and shrimp, my response would be totally different!!

I missed this thread, but found it and decided to answer anyway! Tito and Sophie are lucky if they get one treat each, two to four times a week. (Unless someone goes to the vet or gets stepped on and Meowmie feels guilty.) Usually a small treat too - a Temptation (Tito's favorite) or a Pit'r Pat (Sophie's favorite). I have never fed them table scraps. AND they only get 1/2 cup of food each a day. AND Tito's on diet food.

And they are both still pudgy WHY??

Do cats store food, like a bear getting ready to go into hibernation?

At bedtime (my bedtime, not their bedtime ) and handfed pieces. I love that little ritual in the evening

When I cook fish, or when we have shrimps for lunch, Fister usually get a few pieces, and when I'm going to get some chocolade for us, while watching TV, I always bring the treats bag for Fister. - Usually chicken sticks, which he loves to lick like a lollypop before he eats them.

My cats usually get treats 3 or 4 times a week. Corkscrew will get 2 treats and Tibby gets one. When I go out of town I have the pet sitter give them treats every day and then Corkscrew will get 3 treats and Tibby gets 2.

Whenever I crinkle any kind of package I instantly have a shadow...

I then have to go to the treat dish and pretend i am spilling treats into it.

Pretty much never. They're picky eaters, so they don't eat anything that I give them. Everyonce in a while I'll treat them to wet food, but that's about it.

I give Katie and Simba a bit of canned food (Nine Lives) in the morning for a treat.

My cats get treats occasionally. Usually after I traumatize them with nail clipping or medication.

I'm so afraid to make them overweight, that's so horribly unhealthy for kitties.

I guess we give "love" treats most often. They seem to like that better anyway.
