New Sheba?

Has anybody tried the "new" Sheba in the tiny round cans? I don't have
a clue about the nutritional aspect of it (probably don't want to know,
LOL)....but strictly from a "treat" perspective, wow, do they love it.
I'm talking about dividing up 2 of those tiny cans among 5
cats..amounts to a little more than tablespoon apiece.

The chicken is pure, white chicken and smells pretty good. It's
prohibitively expensive, $1.19 a 3-oz. can (they're giving 2 for 1
coupons to introduce this stuff...probably to get the cats hooked on
it)

I probably won't buy it again, simply because they liked it too much. I
don't want them to start turning their little noses up at their regular
food.

They don't like any cat treats I've ever bought though. The usual treat
is a little spoonful of whipping cream when they're begging in a very
very cute way. Or sometimes I bake a salmon steak and chunk it up into
1" pieces. They'll even eat that straight out of the fridge.

Duffy inhales treats (*any* treats) like a vacuum cleaner, but Holly is like
yours and turns her nose up at almost all treats. However, I have found 2
that she likes. They both like Liv-a-Littles by Halo, which I order online.
This week, I picked up a packet of LeanTreats from the veterinarian's
office, and they both like that. I have to watch, though -- Duffy scarfs
them both down, and Holly picks delicately at them. If I'm not careful,
Duffy will eat his, then push Holly out of the way and finish hers!

Mine would live on baked salmon if they could.

And mine show no interest at all in "people" food - not even
fresh fish or poultry.

Persia likes cornbread :) Little sneak stole that cornbread muffin right
off my plate on the coffee table! She doesn't seem to care for other people
food which is fine because with her strict diet she can't have any.

jmcquown...

Dunno. She has never jumped on tables or countertops in the 6 years I've
had her. She jumps on the toilet seat to nag me about taking a shower. But
apparently she is not adverse to putting her paws up on the coffee table and
snagging something from there. She did eat the half a cornbread muffin...
maybe it was the butter she liked but she ate the cornbread. Goofy Girl :)

OMG. Yoda loves cornbread, too. He waits till we go to bed to steal it
off the counter.

jmcquown...

You probably make very good cornbread :)

For my sister's fourth birthday, my mother baked a two-layer
gingerbread-flavored cake, and left the layers cooling on a rack
overnight, in preparation for icing them the next day. In the
morning, she found that the family cat, Mumpsey, had eaten about half
of one of the layers, so my sister ended up having a single-layer
birthday cake. My mother was cautious about leaving out baking from
then on, but I don't think Mumpsey ever did it again. Perhaps she got
a stomachache from eating so much cake!

Ain't that the truth! Smokey is supposed to be on a moist food
prescription diet (from the vet, of course). Mistletoe (aka Missy),
OTOH, hasn't (yet) been pronounced sufficiently plump to require a
special diet. Missy is quite picky when it comes to food. The only
thing we've found she will consistently eat is Fancy Feast (not the pate
type, please; gravy is required!). The only problem is that Smokey
*far* prefers this to his own diet. He will nose his own food around
his bowl until Missy's done then go clean up her plate!

My cats favorite treat is Fancy Feast Gourmet Gold dry cat food - they'll
take this over Pounce or any other treats. They eat canned food twice a day
and SD Senior Advanced Formula on a free-feed basis, so the FF dry is
strictly a limited treat.
