 She seems a bit better today thanks! MIL kept saying "Does she want to go out?" Meaning, that cat is spifflicating me! She is not "worrying" to go out atm - luckily! Thanks for posting those links Smudgley - straightforward information and advice and worth reading. |

I usually only use treats as a bribe - I put then in a metal tin and shake them while shouting treats. That is how I always got any of my cats to come in. Really a variation on the tip about food noise above. Some of my cats have been fine on cows milk, others not. I've found them never to be too fond of special cat milk so don't tend to buy it. Although my friends cats would drink it all day. |

Many cats are lactose intolerant as adults; some aren't. You can tell if they are....diarrhea! Two of my girls loved both cows milk and cat milk, drank it daily till they went to the Bridge at 20 and 19 1/2. If your two like and tolerate it, let them have it, IMO. |

I had a 12 year old cat from CP last July - kept him in the house for 3 weeks and then took him out wearing a harness for another 4 weeks (he did not mind at all) and then got up enough courage to let him go out alone - the first day he never went out of the garden. 2nd day he jumped on to neighbour's shed and sat and watched me. The longer the better. |

Smudge was lactose intolerant and so was one of her kits. Merlin wasn't and loved his morning milk, he was not keen on the cat milk. I haven't tried Kizzy on either - she seems very happy to drink water and actually does, so I am happy. I've only ever bought a couple of different "cat treats" - neither of mine showed any sign of liking, so they were hardly treats. The last little bag I bought from my vet even next door's porky boy took one sniff and walked away disgusted! A proper treat is much more likely to be a prawn or a bit of mince (previously frozen!) or a little bit of cheese. |

I agree with Angie about commercial treats. Ms. Picky doesn't like them, but neither did my previous cats, who were anything but picky. Ham, chicken, cheese ...... |
