Now that I don't have to worry about....my 3-year-old orange monster
is probably the ONLY feline on earth that refuses to eat cat treats.
he also refuses canned food, gourmet food, people food. If it doesn't
say "Purina Cat Chow" on it, he looks at me like I'm trying to poison
him.

Nah! Our 17 pounder is like your orange monster in the cat treat department.
Our other two have a bedtime ritural where they have to have their Pounce
treats, but the big guy just sniffs them and then looks at the other two like
"What's all the fuss about?" And the funny thin, like your cat, he prefers the
dry cat food over the wet food. So you'd think he'd really like the cat treats.

I have to admit, I'd be pretty tempted to bring a bag of these Disney cat
treats home for our boys. I know, I know... They wouldn't know the difference
if they were from Disney or from the local PetSmart. But still, it would make
me feel like I was doing something special for the boys.

Ah...makes me feel better, as the "other" monster knows EXACTLY when
it is 7:00 p.m. and if his Pounce Treats are not in his dish, war is
imminent!!! (And heaven help whoever puts less than ten pieces in the
treat dish!!)
