pig ears for cats?
I was wondering if those smoked pig ears treats for dogs can be given to
cats. Isaac really wants to chew on stuff. Just before, as I was typing, he leaned over the edge of the desk and began to gnaw on the arrow keys on the keyboard. I just moved the pen/pencil cup out of reach to stop him from teething on the handle of the scissors. He doesn't chew on cords (thankfully), shoelaces or shoes, books and things like that. Mostly he likes chewing on plastic. I thought some kind of treat would keep him busy and let him satisfy his urge to chew but I'm not sure if a dog treat would be safe. A number of years ago when I was dogsitting my boss' two yellow labs at work, they had pig ears and Stinky was very interested. After one dog got up, she ran over to where he had been eating and licked up all of the loose shards of pig ear he left behind. -- Liz |

I've heard that the pig ears aren't that great for dogs so to give it to a
cat I wouldn't think would be a great idea either. Sue "Elizabeth Blake" wrote in message ink.net... I was wondering if those smoked pig ears treats for dogs can be given to cats.

They can also carry salmonella. I had one of my dogs get really sick a
couple of years ago after eating one. I have never bought them since. Celeste "blkcatgal" wrote in message . ..
