I have 2 male cats that seem to want to chew everything they can get their teeth on. Ive been giving them the N-Bone cat chew treats and that seems to be helping. I was recently at Petsmart and noticed they had ferret chew treats and was wondering if they would be acceptable for cats?

I'm not a nutritional expert, but to me, the ZuPreem Dental Sticks sound much better...I see they've even got taurine in them! But, really, I wanted to ask you a question about how you give your cats the N-Bone Chew Treats, because I got some for my chewing cats, and they keep losing them under the furniture! I even bought one of those things that you can put dog bones in that dogs can put between their feet to help them hold them in place, and stuck a couple of chews thru the holes so they would be big enough so they couldn't roll under stuff, but then they weren't fun anymore because they wouldn't roll around
Also, do you soak them in water first so they aren't quite so hard and emit a little bit of smell to get them started? I found that peaked their interest, but they still lose them pretty quickly while tossing them around before they get to do much chewing.

The second treats have soy protein and wheat gluten in them, so I wouldn't give those.
First one seems fine.
