Tucson gobbles them up but Big Boy just sort of looked at me like—‘what is this supposed to be!’   Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 21, 2005 10:04 AM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: Pill Pockets for giving Meds.   Pill pockets are a great product and work great for our dogs, but I can not get any of my cats or the cats at the shelter to take them.  Simon ate them a few times but then did not want them, and he is the only one who would even try them. I tried both flavors.  Has anyone actually had luck giving them to cats?
