I have previously written that my cats like the Friskies Sunflower Seed treats http://www.friskies.com/Cat-Food/Cat-Treats/Natural-Sensations-With-Real-Chicken. Well, tonight I was standing at the kitchen counter cracking whole nuts for a snack for myself. I bought some whole nuts last year at the holiday season, and had a few left but bought some more this year. Especially because the news is out that just a handful of whole nuts is a good snack or treat.
Well, Taki came into the kitchen and kept pawing at me and reaching for the counter. She does not jump on the counter, although Sake and Haiku both do that. If I have something on the counter that they want to check out, they help themselves, although, lately, Sake has not been able to jump that high very well. So Taki would go away and then come back, paw at me and reach up again, and again. I finally offered her a small piece of nut, but she did not want it.
So, I check the dishes that hold the treat foods. And, there was dairy and chicken treats left, but no sunflower seed treats. So, I put some in the dish, and Taki started eating right away. That was what she was asking for. It is conceivable to me that whole nuts have enough aroma to stimulate the thought or idea of wanting sunflower seed treats. This I will have to keep in mind.
