Advantages: Good for hiding kitty tablets inside

Disadvantages: The ingredients

I have 2 cats, Oscar in my profile picture, big, stupid, aged 8 in body, aged 6 months in mind - and Emms who is fluffy, moody, fangless and aged 11.

I came across these treats a few months ago whilst looking for something to hide an antibiotic inside. If you have cats you will know that giving a cat a tablet is a 3 man job, and you will always come off worse - even if the cat you are trying to medicate has no teeth! I didn't want to be covered in scratches again so I needed something soft and pliable that I could push a tablet inside. Emms is so greedy, she gobbles treats without thinking, so I knew if I could put it inside something I would win the battle of the tablets.

These treats fitted the bill perfectly, they are soft and squishy and you can mould them with ease. They come in a foil wrapper, presumably to keep them 'fresh'. A pack of 6 treats costs around £1.00, and each stick breaks into 6 pieces, so in my opinion they are a pretty good buy. The antibiotic pushed inside a piece of the stick easily and was wolfed down twice a day with no problems.

The sticks are sold as a complimentary cat food, which means they are for treats only and shouldn't be given as a replacement for normal food, the ingredients give a clue as to the reason for this: - Meat and animal derivatives (min. 4%), minerals, various sugars. Contains EEC permitted antioxidants and preservatives. Protein: 31%, Oil: 22%, Ash: 9%, Fibre: 2%, Moisture: 27%.

The treats aren't particularly nutritious, but my word they must taste good - think of them as the feline equivalent of a drunken Saturday night kebab with extra chilli sauce. My old girl is faster than a speeding bullet when she hears the packet being opened, and these get her in from the garden faster than prawns ever used to.

Anything that makes administering tablets easy is a winner for me!

Summary: Must taste gooood!
