she had a couple last night and was promptly sick on the rug!!  I will get some more though, I know its a me putting human values on her but I like that she has some variety - no idea about a fish monger, don't think I've seen one since I left London

My friend bought mine some as part of their Christmas present, they gobbled down the first one I gave them but have turned their noses up since. They're the Good Girl brand too. I've never seen them in pet shops but there's a department store near me that does so if you can't get them anywhere near you give me a shout and I'll get you some.

I might try that, were to you get them pet shops?

Nope, fishmongers (if there is such a thing anymore!) fish counters at supermarkets as well. I get mine from a traditional type butcher which also has a fresh fish counter.

I remember my mum cooking whitebait once and none of us would touch them  :evillaugh:

I've got a cupboard of catnip drops that they won't touch but she loves these little fish (bear in mind she has never eaten anything other than science plan chicken since we've had her, 18 months) she crunches away and just leaves the little heads!  I'm sure they aren't perfect nutrition but I'm so pleased she is eating something else

I opened the box on Saturday but none of them would touch them  :sick:
I only really bought the stocking for the mouse as Willow's previous one is 2 years old but it's her favourite toy and she carries it round the house - I often find it on the bed. She has never been like that with any other toy  :Luv2:
All mine love the catnip drops but won't eat the catnip biscuits.

Asda sell all the "good girl" stuff separately - except the mouse I wanted  :tired:

You can buy packs of frozen fresh whitebait - she might like those too  ;D -  I know mine love 'em, you can cook 'em up or feed 'em raw.

Please spay your cat

found something else that Star will eat - I know it probably shouldn't be too regular but it's nice to see her eating something apart from hills - these came out of a christmas stocking so not sure if you can buy them, anyone seen them??
