Don't know, but I wouldn't give it to my cat. I wouldn't give my cat
cranberry juice at all, but if I did, I would use the one with sugar. If you
give your cat aspartame and Splenda, you are playing with fire.

I did a little digging on google and here's what I found, which agrees
somewhat with your view, Cindy:

I saw on the ASCPA site that aspartame is not harmful to dogs and
other pets -- here is the Q&A I found:

" Pet Poison Q & A: Sweet Talk

I understand that the sweetener xylitol is toxic to pets, but what
about other sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame?
--Kristin Z.

Great question, Kristin. Sweeteners such as sucralose (Splenda),
aspartame (NutraSweet) and saccharin (Sweet N' Low) are not known to
cause problems in dogs or other pets, as the sweetener xylitol has
been shown to do. However, they could potentially cause mild
gastrointestinal upset if eaten in significant quantities, so it is
still a good idea to refrain from offering pets such sweeteners."
