By now you all know I have my 4 fur babies and I love them to death. You also know that I love the company Chewy.com and worked with them a few times in the past and fell in love with them and their products from day one! The thing is I want the best for my pets and each of the cats are unique in their own personality. I mean they literally act like children with making their wishes and demands known. They show love and affection and sure know how to suck up when they want something. With Lily if you throw her favorite ball with the bell or little baby sock she stole and claimed back and forth with her you become her best friend. They each have their own quirks and once you get to know them all you will see each of their personalities shine through. Maybe it`s just the odd balls that pick our family, but I wouldn`t have it any other way. Well I want my babies to enjoy the best and with Chewy.com I feel like I get that. This time Chewy sent us the Evanger`s Beef Hearts Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats to try out.

Now as usual I left the taste testing up to the kitties and I observed. Sorry, I have no interest in stealing or tasting cat and dog treats! Now I have to admit I was a bit skeptical on how these would work out because they`re appropriate for BOTH cats and dogs, not just either-or like most typical treat/food products. Of course, these cats have stolen our pet rat`s food as well so I guess they don`t necessarily discriminate against what food they eat either. Anyhow, the texture of these treats is kind of hard, but not so much as a dog bone, just harder compared to the typical cat treats we purchase. Also, they do appear like they`re more geared towards dogs. So initially seeing that I figured we`d be passing these along to my husband's parents since they have all the dogs at their house.

 

 

So I took out 4 treats because all know if one comes they all come running, especially when it comes to food. They were all curious, sniffed away and it appeared like that would be it. Tiger and Lily, the two older cats, had no interest in the treats. They just wanted to see what everyone else was up to. In fact, they may have taken a lick, but hadn`t touched them at all since. Mouse and Houdini, the two youngest cats, of course, started playing with the treats - grabbing and running, tossing them around, swatting at them, etc. So I figured those would be wasted as well. Rather than just picking the treats up though I tossed them in their make-shift kitty box that Sophia made them (yes, they have little houses made out of cardboard boxes with little doors from my packages, and the cats LOVE them). Well over the past couple of days I watched as Mouse and Houdini both took turns going back and forth nibbling on the treats! They still played with them some, but they were actually eating them as well! I honestly did not expect that and am still surprised. Looking around my floor this morning, the 2 little pieces I had left out are gone, which I`m assuming they ate since the pieces had been getting smaller and smaller. I think we have a winner!

 

Obviously, I definitely recommend this product. Our kittens loved them! They had fun playing with them then enjoyed eating them. The older ones simply didn`t care. Regardless I`m surprised to see a cat/kitten actually eat a product of that texture and liking since I`ve never seen it before. The best part is I know it works well for animals with sensitivities because Mouse is a walking gas machine at times (never knew cats could have so much gas either until these little ones!) and she hasn`t had any digestive issues or gas since eating these treats. Maybe it`s just a coincidence, but that`s what I`ve noticed. I highly recommend these; they`re Mouse and Houdini approved!
