The litter tray

What is wrong with my boy?

He doesn’t like Dreamies!!!

Our girl will try and climb up my legs as soon as she sees my hand going towards the treat cupboard. The boy just ignores them or stalks off in disgust if I put them too close to him.

Is he classy or just plain weird?

Dunno, but mine don't like ham, cheese, chicken - anything "human food" that cats are supposed to go crazy for. One of DSis's cats won't touch Dreamies either, she will only eat cat food and lik e lix.

Your boy may not be an actual cat, but an IMPOSTOR! check for a tell-tale zip in his fur suit......

Ernie wouldn't touch Dreamies, my Mum always buys him a kitty stocking and he turns his nose up. He does like the Hi-Life chicken and duck pieces.

He has recently started to like them...I think he got his taste elsewhere

LibbyLongtree · 05/12/2017 18:49

I checked Annalind - definitely all cat!

Awwww....booful ickle cutiepie!
Sorry, just the way I spoke to my furrums

NotAgainYoda · 05/12/2017 19:15

Neither of mine has liked them

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/12/2017 20:12

He looks like my Bengal boy.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 05/12/2017 21:28

He’s classy - Harry doesn’t like them either!

TroysMammy · 05/12/2017 22:19

They made Troy sick. He only had 5 and the amount he vomited back up was massive. He loved lik-e-lix though and kitty crack sticks.

What a gorgeous boy!

LibbyLongtree · 05/12/2017 23:48

Thank you Screaming. He is gorgeous and he knows it!

Annelind - are you sure you haven’t been eavesdropping on me when I talk to my babies?

I find it bemusing how our timid, nervy girl turns into a clawing demented monster for them.

Had to stop using catnip though - turns the Bengal loopy and not in a good way. Only cat I’ve known to show any reaction to it.

Shhhh. I hate to admit it but my cats drink water. Tap water. In a bowl.
There is something very wrong isn't there?!

LibbyLongtree · 05/12/2017 23:53

Definitely Wolfiefan. I thought the only point of putting a bowl of water down for the cats is so that DH can kick it over every now and again.

I know! Aliens? Trolls in disguise? Bit worrying really!

Want2beme · 06/12/2017 00:21

My cats vomited when they had Dreamies.
