The cat snacks were moved near the bulk cat litter at my favorite pet store. I saw red tags on a few so took a look. They were $1.79 a package instead of $5. I got several kinds and then a different type entirely called Greenies. Oh my. I have a dog and two cats. I got the dog just a year ago from the Humane Society so have tried various snacks for him. He'd go potty outside and come in, and I'd offer a treat. He's very finicky and he doesn't like a lot of those from the smorgasboard treat area of the store. Seriously. He drops them out of his mouth when he tastes what I gave him. Ditto for biscuits at Culvers and the bank. My hunter cat Lilly would come at me, sit down, look at me and loudly meow. Her message has been clear. If you give the dogs treats I want treats too!
She can get out the door in a flash. If it's day time, she'll lounge on a chair on the patio. However if she gets out near dark she can disappear and be gone all night. Then I worry. I do my best to have her inside before dark. Now, she knows the sound of that treat bag! When I call her name and go outside and jiggle the bag she comes RUNNING! Down out of a tree, off the roof, off the shed, off she runs.
The dog also loves them. I give him a few when I give them some. I scatter them all over the floor in an effort to make the fat cat move around more. At first she just sat next to her food dish. Then as she saw Lilly gobble them up, she got the idea.
