Help My Cat Is Addicted To Dreamies?

[gordiescotland1]

I have been feeding my cat dreamies for years and she loves them. I havent got any in at the moment but she is going to the chair where I give her them and meowing loudly she is rubbing herself on my legs constantly and will refuse to eat any other food that I have for her. I seriously think she is addicted anyone else have this problem?

[ummmm]

Yes...I stopped buying them because of how they acted every time I opened a packet of something.

I haven't bought any for about 6 months and they still come running when I open packets.

Distract her with a toy or play to get her mind on something else. She will eat when hungry, as have been said. They know we'll probably give in so it's a battle of wills unfortunately. Be strong for you cat's sake. Good luck.;)

Princess Merlin has been howling to more Dreamies but she isn't getting any. She is now in a foul mood and her poor brother is avoiding her. She wellied him earlier.

Yes, the cat next door loves them and won't eat his food. He also hangs around where he is usually given his Dreamies

If you can identify their supplier then maybe you can report them to the cops for pushing these Dreamies. Perhaps you can get the cat to go for cold turkey treatment ?

OG, their 'street name' is Kitty Cocaine.

She is trying to manipulate you Gordie. Don't back down. I use the word that they ignore"NO". Never works.

My four love them and obviously look forward to sharing out the half-a-packet-load that I throw onto the carpet each evening. (If I'm going out, I throw them onto the pavement outside instead but that costs me more Dreamies because there are two cats from across the road who expect their share as well!).

However they still seem to get through plenty of normal food as well. (Typically 3 or 4 cans of Whiskas, or similar, each day, plus some good quality cat biscuits, plus whatever they can scrounge off my plate. I wonder why I've never got any money?)

Why not let them have something they love, what's the harm ? I'd always make sure I never ran out gordie ...

Our cats do love them, but they don't get them very often and we have other treats as well. One of the cats did steal the packet, perforated it with her teeth and ate the contents - fortunately not many left. She also did that with a pouch of food, only she didn't bother to tear the top off, just squeezed the food through her perforations!
