do cats really like strawberries?
I mean, whenever my vet gives us something supposedly "palatable" for cats, it smells not of mice or goldfinches (whatever they smell like) but strawberries. What's that about then? So - on the same topic, is there any point "sugaring the pill" for cats? I know dogs like sugar, but would it help disguise bitter flavours to a cat? Jim |

Jim Based on everything I've read around here in the past few months, there is no such thing as "cats like this" or "cats don't like that." Some cats like this. Some cats don't. Your cat might like sugar, or might not. And not all dogs are fooled when you coat the pill. -- monique, roommate of Oscar the (female) grouch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eros was adopted!

Are you talking about the pink Amoxicillin? Smells like bubblegum to me Clavamox smells like vanilla. I always wonder if the drug co actually made it for children and sell the same thing to vets.

You can use a pill grinder and mix it in a small amount of wet cat food or plain meat baby food (no onions). I don't think sugar would do anything for a cat. -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net "Wake up, and smell the cat food" -TMBG |

I think it is the case, at least w/ Amoxicillin. Cathy So - on the same topic, is there any point "sugaring the pill" for cats?

As we all know, the cat's go crazy when all the bannana trees here in Canada set fruit. Bannana season is kitty's FAVORITE time of year. ;-) -- Mathew Butler to 2 kittens: Chablis & Muscat En Vino Veritas |
