    I do volunteer work in a no kill cat shelter ,and have taken many old abused kitty's home to live out there lives with me ,and to let them know what its like to be loved. When they are sick ,and can only eat certain foods ,I would give them DRIED BONITO FLAKES...its dried tuna. Some like it ,and some do not. Its healthy as a treat can be (but it stinks)!!!!

    And if you have an Asian market nearby you can get it cheaper there than at the pet store - I reccomend the single serve packets though, since it goes stale pretty quick. (my cats looooove it) Sometimes putting it over his food was the only way I could get my very elderly guy to eat.

    My dear long-departed Bozo Kitty went absolutely ga-ga over avocado.

    Not sure how healthy that is, though.

    Giving our pets treats is our way of showing we love them, whether they really love the treats or not. However, there are some cases where I think treats are truly appropriate. I agree with the treats for doing tricks - good incentive.

    Now my Teddy cat, all of 15 1/2 years old and with hyperthyroid and three types of heart condition, has to take no less than 1 pill (and up to 3), plus 1 ml of liquid medicine with each meal. He gets a treat each time to thank him for being such a good cat and not tearing me to threads before spitting the pills out. (he actually almost looks like he likes the pills!!)

    Hugs and butterflies,

    The butterflies are within you.
