Hey all!
My cat who has advanced heart disease and less of an appetite these days has a major thing for ice cream sandwiches. Like, if me or my husband opens one kitty is immediately ON IT (how does he know??), right in our faces, and will run off with the empty wrapper if we accidentally leave it out.
He's lost a little bit of weight and stays on the dehydrated side, so I'm trying to find a way to match this unrequited love of his to something he can actually eat and benefit from. My thought today was — uh, do they have ice cream for cats, like they do dogs?
My searches haven't come up with much, so I thought I'd post here. Anyone know of an ice creamy but lactose-free product that might tempt him?
I've tried straight "cat milk" (the Cat Sip brand) before but he wouldn't touch it at the time. I may try that again, though. What's strange is that he's not usually a fan of creamy treats and is usually a crunchy boy who loves kibble, but there's just *something* about those ice cream sandwiches that makes him incredibly excited. It's nice to see when normally mealtimes are a chore!
