Convincing a cat to do something is really tough. And we are talking about literally anything, like it could be something as positive as getting them to play with a new toy you have bought them. Because if they decide that they do not want to do the thing, they do not do it. That is, unless we sell our souls and entice them into it with the promise of treats. In this case, they will do a fair bit, that is, other than take their meds.

As you might have gathered from the caption of this story, some cats will even forego food if it has meds in it. And that is when you need to bring out the big guns, or as cat pawrents know it the Tuna Mousse. The most enticing and enchanting treat to ever cross a cat's path. Now, we cannot criticize these feline pawrents for reaching for this desperate measure. After all, they were just looking out for their cat's health, but the situation it landed them in after, well, that is one that they will have to pay for, for many moons to come.

  • Jheez, this feels like such a common cat pawrent problem. No matter who you are or what your cat’s story is, it almost always feels as though there will be a case where you are stuck with a certain amount of cat food that you simply did not want to be lumbered with. And it will sit there forevermore.

    The medication comes as a powder that we should mix with their wet food. They could tell that

  • Well yeah, no duh it works well. Tuna mousse is one of the most incredibly powerful cat treats on the planet. It could make a cat pass the SATs, get their driving license, and potentially even run for local government. It is literally that addictive and delicious to cats.
