.....and automatically licked it off. Yeugh!

Seniorboy seems to like it but I have no idea why. Cats have strange tastes sometimes.

Ah, it's just runny pate. Which I still wouldn't eat.

It doesn't sound as if you've actually tasted it, KingJoffrey. Grin

Which I would not recommend doing!

No, but I've tasted pate and it can't be any worse than that..

Well Seniorboy has just, for the second night in succession, polished his plate of Lick E Lix with salmon.

Considering how old and fussy he is and that he dislikes fish flavours, that is pretty well a demonstration of wild enthusiasm.

The cat is weird.

WTF is lick E lix?!?! Confused

A sort of squidgy beige coloured flavoured cream stuff that comes in tubes and tastes (and smells) foul. My cat seems to love it. He is perverted.

Sorry - that's flat semi-tubes of coloured plastic.

They'd put me off. Not him it seems!

Hmm I wonder if my elderly cat would like it? She is getting very fussy in her old age, prowls around for food then refuses to eat it unless I am able to read her mind and guess which particular brand and flavour she would like, out of the 5 different ones in my cupboard! Bless her.

Ollie said "no thank you hooman, disgusting"
Stable cat inhaled the lot in about 0.5 seconds and then clawed me for more Hmm

However the webbox treat sticks are adored by both!
Also meowing heads food is going down a treat with Ollie

I'm going to try him on another couple of flavours over the next couple of nights, Bluebell. I'll report back on how they went down before you shell out.

Thanks cozie I keep thinking I should cook her chicken or something but she'd probably turn her nose up at that too!

BluebellTheDonkey · 27/05/2016 21:49

Thanks hollinhurst think I'll get a couple

Well Seniorboy might only deign to nibble some roast chicken but he seems to like the beige ooze fine. (It's more of a taste treat than a meal but he's elderly so keeping his interest in food up is no bad thing.)

Cozie - I was what? At the name Grin
However Mr "I will eat half a pouch twice a day and no more" has been scoffing down the whole lot including the fish flavours!

cozietoesie · 27/05/2016 22:04

I thought it was something to do with fish heads. Grin

Seniorboy doesn't like fish though - beige ooze apart - so it's a no go for us.

They do chicken ones, and chicken and turkey too. After I had a tin of tuna the other day, mr finicky has decided "hooman eats it, cat wants it" Hmm so is now eating fish

I gave my friend some very out-of-date Ibuprofen cream as she had sprained her wrist & it was the best we could come up with between us at the time.

I took it round & stayed for coffee. She rubbed it on, & then had to practically beat her cat off with a stick as it rushed across the room & tried desperately to lick off the cream it did smell a bit funny . She had to wash it off!

I can now report that all the flavours seem to lead to cleaning of plate - which given how old and fussy Seniorboy is, is pretty much a demonstration of wild enthusiasm. I may still have to squeeze the tube very carefully and holding my breath so that I don't smell the stuff but Hey Ho. Smile
