I don't know if this crap would be good for my cats or not, but it sure as hell is funny.

1. My buzzard of a cat likes them, but I'm afraid to ask if any nutritional value.

Cool commercial.

[lonestarnot]

2. I have one that begs like a dog for them. He breaks me up trying to keep up with his appetite for

them. I have to ration them or his entire diet would be the dairy one in the purple sack.

[Hoyt]

3. Mine too. Cracks me up. I better stay away from purple one.

5. Yup, the dairy ones are the favorite here, too.

[font color="green" face="Verdana"]My 4 cats get a treat every night before I go to bed. We've tried every brand and every flavor, and the Temptations dairy flavor are absolutely #1. Turkey treats come in 2nd, but all others lag far, far behind.

The treats have to be kept locked away securely, or the bags would be shredded and emptied in no time. And they know the word, "treats," so I don't dare use it unless I mean it.

4. Both my cats love, love, love that stuff!

I don't know how they do it, but the tinest rustle of the package will alert them even from a sound sleep in the next room, and it brings them running. They make me laugh, singing and fawning, and begging for every piece like it was better that catnip.

[silverweb]

6. Yes, the package is a summons.

[font color="green" face="Verdana"]Whoever said cats don't come when they're called just wasn't calling them right! LOL

8. Those are actually right at the top of my Dr. kestrel-approved

cat treats list, but only the turkey and chicken flavors (beef is sorta ok, fish is verboten).

11. Why is fish verboten?

We have the chicken flavor right now but I think I've had tuna in the past.

12. The vet told Joe not to give the cats seafood food or treats

Especially Tommy with his urinary issues. I'm wondering if it's because they're both males?

[kestrel91316]

14. Males AND females can get urinary problems with fish. In males it can be DANGEROUS

because of the risk of urinary obstruction. In females it's merely annoying unless really chronic and she gets a bladder full of stones.

[Rhiannon12866]

17. Thank you! I did not know that.

Of my two female cats, one loved seafood and the other wouldn't touch it. But now that we have males, we were warned about giving them seafood, especially since one of them is being treated for crystals. The previous male required surgery for it since he did have an obstruction. It's not something that most people would think of, since it's a common belief that cats love fish and there is so much out there for cats containing seafood. Thanks so much for the information!

13. Domestic cats are the direct descendants of Felis libyca, the desert wildcat

of North Africa, the Negev DESERT, and the Arabian Peninsula. There are no fish in the desert for them to eat. It is not in their evolutionary biology to eat fish, so it is an ALIEN food item. This probably accounts for why I see so many health problems associated with fish consumption, especially skin problems, urinary problems, and chronic GI problems.

Virtually the ONLY time I see cats with urinary obstruction is with new clients who haven't gotten the word yet: NO FISH!!!! It basically doesn't happen with my patients because I am always reminding my clients to not go there.

[lonestarnot]

15. Wow, I did not know that!

[kestrel91316]

16. And so now you do. In my work life I am ALL about prevention and client education.

[lonestarnot]

18. The only crap that comes in fancy feast at Costco is fish or similar.

9. I LOVE this ad. And I hate most ads.
