Scooter doesn't smell treats
It's pretty weird but has always been this way. Nipsy gently reminds me, over and over, that I have neglected to put out the treats. I drop a few Temptations (chicken) in front of him and Marlo, and a few in front of Scooter. Nipsy and Marlo devour them. Scooter sniffs around, as if he was looking for them, and then looks away. I pick them up, hold them under his nose, and he looks but then acts as if there was nothing there. Sometimes I'll drop some different type of treat (Whiskahs or something) and he'll sniff around, tentitively lick one, and then decide to eat them. But mostly he ignores those as well. It's almost like he doesn't understand that they're to be eaten. Very strange. |

Toci Waffles (RB) loved tuna water, and would lick out the can, but he always left the bits of tuna. Koala likes it, and Pickles begs for it, but won't drink it. I deliberately don't give them people food so they won't get so interested they make it difficult for me to eat.

It's almost like he doesn't understand that they're to be eaten. Very strange. Neither of my previous cats bothered with cat treats. I tried them with all sorts but they just weren't interested. They did like some human food though. Sootie doesn't much like human food, and eats only cat food (apart from the fish from the chip shop) but she loves the cat treats. Judith The only thing I can conclude from these comments is that cats are weird. |

Maybe he doesn't like your choice ;-) Or perhaps the texture. |

Most of the cats I've had didn't like the soft treats, only the crunchy ones. -- Joy Unlimited Colorful Crocheted Critters Photos at http://www.PictureTrail.com/joy9 |
