Mumsnet Talk

My cat turns her nose up at her regular food if she knows there are Dreamies about. She just looks at her dinner, and me, in disgust and walks off, looking for one of the kids so she can ask them for her treats.

When my shopping arrives she's straight in there looking for her fix.

I did get her a stocking last year with milk drops and catnip treats but she did the 'litter tray scratch of this is shit' over them and stalked off.

One of mine goes absolutely nuts for dreamies.

The other gives me the look as if to say "what is this shit? Give me tuna/cheese/ham dammit"

We had drama the other day. Ran out of their usual food. how dare I forget so they had to have another brand. You'd have thought I was starving them.

I thought they were all different flavours! That's crap.

I had a look at these and was going to get one until I realised theres 1 dreamie per day... 1 !!!!
And they're all the same flavour.. get a bag of them for £1 I say

Secret Thanks for that, I am going into town today. I will look for them.

Great That does sound exactly like mines! He left all the milk drops as well. Better just buying a packet of catnip drops at half the price. Mines went crazy and properly ripped it to shreds, yours the same then?

Schro your cat sounds like one of ours with the catnip calendar! We had one a few years ago, came home one day and he'd managed to get the bloody thing off the top of the cupboard (how?!), rip it to bits and eat every catnip treat. He left all the milk ones though!

Thrive

they also do fish as well.

Ohh, think I will have to have a look for them. Actual chicken must be better for them.

Thrive are sold in Sainsbury's.

They are pieces of real chicken, cooked and dried. I have been bitten in their hurry to get to them.

Secret Your cat is strange. :P I've never met one that didn't like them. Have never heard of "Thrive".

Kiwi I think they must. I mean mines don't even like most food other than their cat food, wont take tit bits but go mental for those treats.

Mine can't stand dreamies.

They will rip your hands off for "Thrive" treats or the Pets at Home ones, but look at you as though they are being offered turds if your try dreamies.

Our 3 are OBSESSED with fecking dreamies. Sure they have crack in them

What the hell is in them to make them go that mad!?

That's pretty much the reason mines rarely get treats as well. They go mental looking for them, 1 opens the cupboards. He opens it and he and the other 2 rip all the packets up in the cupboard until they find them.

We stopped buying them as she would rip things apart in the kitchen looking for them (psycho cat)
Isee you need to sort yourself out as you are quite blatantly damaging your cats emotional wellbeing.

Waiting Ours love them too but they very rarely get a treat, I always get a calendar though, just because we all have them too.

Stookie Not me, nooo. <whistles>

I'm not actually sure my cat is Christian.

Should he also have celebrated Diwali?

They also sell Christmas cards to the cat and from the cat. I mean, who would actually buy those?!

Wow.

No wonder my cat nags me so much. Clearly I am a bad cat mother, who has been ignoring the important cat advent period. I also only provide 4 square meals a day. To whom should he complain?

Our cat loves dreamies! We call them catcaine. Will definatly get her one. She just rubs round the catnip drops til they melt and never eats them!

Well, one of mines managed to get every door open the other year. That is the reason I will never buy a catnip one again!

But how is the cat supposed to red the dates or open the doors?

With a dreamie for every day and a toy mouse on the last day. Seems much better than the usual milk and catnip drop calendars.

They are £3.
