I wouldn't be feeding him any chocolate or sweets for that matter.
I give raw fish,chicken,liver,meat, shrimp, etc.

Probably not good for his teeth!

Refined sugar isn't good for anyone (humans included) and it's addictive which is probably why he's developed a taste for it.

I usually stick to proper cat treats - Dreamies is a favourite - and (very) occasional scraps from our food, like a morsel of tuna or a tiny piece of cheese. At Christmas, one of my cats loved a bit of custard, but hasn't been interested since.
You can't change the world by rescuing one cat, but for that one cat you are changing its world.

i know he isnt a dog but i like to give sumo treats every now and again. i even once made him catnip tea (recipe here: http://allthingscatnip.com/archives/catnip-tea/ and no i did not drink it!) so yes weve done alot of toying about with treats, his obvious faves are milk and tuna, as soon as he hears the can opener come out of the drwaer hes there by my ankle chatting away about just how much he likes tuna. anyway his oddest is snickers. he cannot get enough of snickers bars. we have to get them in bulk for my son and his football teams half time snacks (as a side note we find them here: http://www.twenga.co.uk/dir-Food-and-Drink,Sweet-delicacies,Chocolate-15273 and i never knew how much better things taste when theyve been bought in bulk!) and sumo cannot stop eating them, hes developedf the same hearing for a wrapper being opened, hes straight there on your lap demading some nougat. very sweet. is this bad for him though? we're not very good at saying no to him but i do know that chocolate isnt very good for dogs so i wanted to know about cats and chocolate (and nougat and caramel and peanuts!)
