Does your cats like to eat from your cone or do they prefer to the bowls ? Do you lick the cones after your cats ?
I don't even eat after other people, let alone dogs and cats. Hubby and I sometimes do, but only if we know we aren't sick. No way would I eat after anyone else. I love my cats, but it is known that cats have a lot of bacteria in their mouths. That is why cat bites can get so nasty. I think eating after cats might really be worse than eating behind dogsDid you ever try Cool Claws? Ice cream for cats. Our grocery store used to carry it and we'd buy it in the summertime. It came in six little bars and we'd break the bars down, so that each of the six cats (we only had six cats back then) had a nice piece. We'd put a piece of the ice cream on dishes and the cats would lick and lick and lick....it's a wonder their tongues didn't get sore. But they really liked the ice cream. Our store stopped carrying Cool Claws a few years back.
We will let the cats lick our empty bowls because we always use the sanitize cycle of our dishwasher, so we don't think it's a problem. And often, when we do have vanilla ice cream, we'll put just a dab down for each of the cats. (Tabby and Mollipop usually enjoy their ice cream on the kitchen table with us.) In fact, after Tabby got spayed, she quit eating for a few days. I was frantic and finally, in desperation, I put a dab of ice cream on a plate for her. She walked over on the table, sat down, and started eating that. That's how we got her to start eating again. It wasn't much and whatever works.
Rick and I wondered......do cats get an ice cream headache??
When my sister's dog was alive, she would feed the dog and then eat from the same spoon. Then feed the dog again and eat from the spoon. That rather turned my stomach, to be honest. Ick. I can't do that. It's just.....ick.
haha--that's funny about cats getting ice cream headaches! I let my first cat lick the bowl when I was done, she loved the stuff, but we didn't 'share' spoons or bowls. None of the Three Amigos show much interest in ice cream.
