Oh, come ON! Blueberries???
Meep is a very fussy eater, and normally isn't interested in any people
foods ('cept Parmesan cheese)... I'd just finished a little punnet of blueberries, and when I reached down to pet her, she was absolutely fascinated by the smell... when I offered her the empty punnet, you'da thought it had catnip... Blueberries? My cat likes the smell of BLUEBERRIES? She's. very. weird. ::sigh:: Anyway. Are blueberries dangerous to cats, if I wanted to see if she'd actually *eat* one? jmc |

Years ago Spillers (I think) made a tinned food that was tuna in tomato sauce- Hey! We got a voucher for a free tin so we tried it...expecting noses to be turned up at it...Fugazi and Isis (both RB) hoovered it up! Then for Xmas they did one with turkey and cranberry sauce..they both turned their noses up at the dried food they'd always preferred! They licked the bowl so hard it travelled 30 feet in pursuit of the lovely stuff! They almost cried when they stopped making that brand! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |

They licked the bowl so hard it travelled 30 feet in pursuit of the lovely stuff! They almost cried when they stopped making that brand! there are some treats available at a pet shop I visited the other day which have cranberries in them, maybe to help with their urinary problems as it can do in humans (cystitis)? can't remember the brand or anything. thinking about the tuna in tomato sauce thing, when one cat i had was temporarily off his food for a few days (would lick the gravy off chunks at most, turned out to be build up stuff on his teeth making it painful to chew) a vet friend said to try him on pilchards or sardines in tomato sauce, normal human foods, and if he didn't eat those them he MUST be unwell and to bring him in. the vet seemed to think that cats viewed the above fishy foods as we would chocolate or something (in my case ben and jerry's ice cream, i am never too ill to eat that) and that a cat turnign their nose up at it indicated something was badly wrong. thing is jasper, cat in question at the time, didn't fancy pilchards or sardines in tomato sauce even when his teeth had been cleaned and he was back to normal eating, so this little 'test' did not work on him. cats are all different, Bookie Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
