This is for Lynn but knowing how nosy us lot on Purrs are I fully expect other people to look at this and maybe tell me the answer before Lynn :evillaugh:
The other day Lynn had some Cody pics eating a long stringy felix treat http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php?topic=9610.0 Went shopping this afternoon - Morrisons and Jollyes and no sign of these felix stringy things. Lots of other felix branded treats but no stringy things so I bought some Webbox cats delight stringy things and the boys just looked at me like I'd offered them a twig, they wouldn't even lick it!
So, can anyone tell me whet these stringy things are actually called and more importantly where I can buy them :wow:
-
Do you mean felix sticks?

I've not bought these for ages. Not sure if they've been discontinued overall or just by petplanet. If not, you should be able to get them in any supermarket or pet shop.
-
:thanks: Susanne, that looks like it could be them... Yikes - Cody is going to be miffed if they are discontinued!
If not, you should be able to get them in any supermarket or pet shop.
That's the point though, I went to a supermarket and a big pet shop and no sign :shify: Maybe they're discontinued everywhere :(
-
I've not seen these for a while either, I'll look in Morrisons or Tesco tomorrow when I go .
-
Try a few more supermarkets but if they are in none of them I'd guess they are being discontinued.
-
I saw them in pets at home the other week. I'm going again tomorrow so will have a look.

If its these things Leo attacks me to get them out of my hand ! (& thats before ive got one out of the packet !)
I think its because he has to chew them & its nice on his teeth as he chews everything.. Ive seen them in my Tesco & I got some today from the pet shop I go to..I hope they dont stop them :shocked:

Prob cheap and nasty as far as treats go but what the hell cody loves them ;)
Felix also do chicken lickin treat thingys. same type of content but small bite sized shapes and he hates them :-: Just doesnt eat em at all.
-
I think those ones are a big big for Leo.. Leo has one of those little sticks a day.. he luuurves them :Luv2:
-
Never tried the Felix sticks, but Pearl goes absolutely bonkers for the Webbox ones.
However, there are four flavours of the Webbox ones; turkey, salmon, chicken & liver and beef & rabbit. Of the four flavours, the turkey ones got the paws down early on, so I don't buy them. The salmon ones are reasonably popular, but the chicken ones and beef ones are by far the favourites.
Dunno what flavour ones you got Helen, but there's a definite order of preference here.
-
Ive seen the webbox ones but been too much of a grip to buy them :evillaugh: Only about 3 sticks for 99p versus lots of felix sticks for 69p...although the webbox ones are bigger granted but he'd probably still get 1 at a time :innocent:
-
You get 6 of the Webbex ones Lynn!! Aldi do an equivalent too, but can't remember if Tiger liked those or not.
-
:-: ah right ok, the ones ive seen looked like 3 separately packed ones but stuck together in tear off type style..doh that doesnt make much sense does it :-[ Not having a good day :(
-
Mogs and Amber love the webbox ones and I think they are great as well. I break a bit off and squish around Mogs tablet and just put it on the floor........so much easier than putting the tablet down her throat :evillaugh:
love

Someone sent Miss Boopy some of Wilkinsons version of those stick things in game flavour or something and her and Bilbo both went mad for them. Not tried the Webbox ones yet as mine don't have treats very often (yes I know I am a mean Mummy!) and when they do they usually have the Nature's Menu Salmon and Trout ones which absolutely stink but are 75% meat and fish.
Where do you get the Webbox ones from? Might get them some for in their Christmas stockings ;D
-
The Webbox ones are as you describe Lynn, 6 tear off strips stuck together. Got them from Morrisons Lottie, the chicken and liver flavour which are supposedly so palatable according to Pearl were treated like a twig poked in dog poo :evillaugh:
-
:evillaugh:
-
Hmmmmmmmmmm, there's no accounting for taste, is there? :faint:
:evillaugh:
-
Well Pets at home have tons of Felix sticks in and so does Wilkinsons.

I feel a trip to PAH coming on, didn't think I'd need to set foot in there for years to come with all the biscuits I've got stockpiled :evillaugh:
-
Lottie, all the supermarkets sell teh Webbox ones - althoguh thinking about it I dont recall seeing them in Tesco, but not gone in there for a while due to roadworks near my local one, couldnt' be bothered fighting them!!
-
Des, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Tescos don't sell the Webbox treats.
I can only get them in Asda and Wilkinsons. Don't have any other supermarkets near me so can't say for the rest.
Have a raft of folks who ask me to buy them when I do go to Asda...
-
Ah right, explains why I didn't see them in there then!! Morrisons defo do, was only in there last night.
-
Which reminds me, I need to go and stock up! :evillaugh:
I only have a few strips left and Madam would be most discomobulated if the supply were to run out... :shocked:
-
Went shopping this morning and noticed that my local Sainsbury's now actually stocks the Webbox treats - must be new there as they deffo weren't there last week. :shocked:
However, they only stock the chicken and salmon ones.
-
Found them in Tesco :wow:
Went to Tesco after work this morning, they had the Felix stick things so rushed home (well, after doing the rest of my shopping) ripped the packet open and called the boys over. Riley jumped up at my hand when he saw I had something for him.... when he saw what it was he turned his face away in disgust, Lucas sniffed one and then stomped off!
-
:rofl: :rofl:
That's feline gratitude for you!
-
Riley has now decided that these are delicious - only because they weren't given to him but stolen :evillaugh: I heard a rustling sound and went into the kitchen to find that he'd dragged the entire packet off the worktop and was carrying them round in his mouth. Opened the packet for him and he's just eaten 4 on the trot :innocent:
-
Riley just had a few more, this pic makes me laugh as he reminds me of a little baby bird squarking for a worm :evillaugh:

Lucas looks like he can't believe Riley could be so crass!! :rofl:
