As you can see, mine are!
Narla really smacks her lips together with delight after getting them out of the box, rolling them round the wooden floor & then comes the crunch!
Do yours like chocolate?
-
I'm guessing you do not know this, but chocolate is toxic to cats [and dogs]. There is a chemical something or other in cocoa called theobromine which is lethal in high doses.
Please don't let your cats consume chocolate.
-
Thanks for that info Den.
I do not let them consume high levels of choc!

was going to say the same :scared:
thats why you get cat/dog ch0c treats
cute pic's tho :Luv:
-
You are welcome.
BTW - I should add to make it clearer. The high levels refers to the level of cocoa in chocolate. More cocoa = more theobromine. White chocolate is the least toxic and cooking/dark chocolate is the most toxic. Toxicity is measured by the amount of theobromine content vs body weight of the animal.
It is shocking how little can be dangerous. Even small amounts can cause stomach upsets. Chocolate and pets don't mix.

No way my boys would get their paws on MY maltesers! Never!
-
No more maltesers for them then! Even if was just the 1.
Just found it cute trying to get at them.
-
Phew, that's a relief
thought for a dreadful moment there I might have to start sharing my chocolate :shocked:
-
No way my boys would get their paws on MY maltesers! Never!
Agreed - some things are most definitely mine! ;) Your cats are lovely, Purrlishious!
-
hey! we're allowed to write chocolate now :-:
when did that happen :sneaky:
-
Aw bless em they are gorgeous....and the chocs! :rofl: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Definately :evillaugh:
-
What a lovely set of pictures :) Why has no-one invented cat treats that can be played with like Maltesers? I would have thought a little tasty ball that could be chased around the floor then eaten would be a big seller. Mind you - in our house treats are sometimes abandoned for no reason and I suppose youd not really want to fall down the stairs after slipping on cat-treat "marbles" :shocked: :rofl:

So you hid it in the freezer? :shify: :sneaky: :evillaugh:
-
no, it was just stored in a cool place, and OH didn't know one of her teeth was in poor condition :doh:
She has never done it again :evillaugh:
-
I consider it distinctly unfair that as much as I love choco olate, preferably dark choc olate, that if too much is consumed I get an almight migraine. :'(
-
healthyfood Weird ..... We can have more than one it seems - but healthyfood* is still censored :Crazy:
* healthyfood
Trouble with threads like this is - of course - someone reads them, catches on to what we can get away with (I could do the plural - choc0lates - but not singular ch0colate) and STOPS US!!!!!
And now Ive discoverd that what I used to type ch then a 0 colate is now "censored" too!! :rofl:
-
I think whoever did it is a sad & miserable piece of choclate.

I must be getting grumpy in my old age, but I'm finding the censorship thing frustratingly annoying now. I was trying to explain why feeding this censored item to cats can be dangerous. When I posted, my posts made sense and now they don't [unless you are in on the 'joke']. The subject matter of what I posted isn't something to joke about, so it just all seems so wrong to me and very unfunny :(
-
I have been getting annoyed about it but put it down to my nerves being frazzled due to "end of year pressure at uni = no sense of humour" (a balanced equation :shify: )
Tan said the other week that it was a little joke at the beginning but time it was taken off which she did - so I don't know why someone took it upon themselves to reinstate it :Crazy: - I see what you mean about the health issue thing. New people on purrs understandably won't get the "joke".

Aw Den, I am sure Purrlicious is greatful for your comments about choc and not giving it to cats. Unfortunately like many of our posts we tend to get off track and forget about the subject we started with..
Mary :hug:

Oops, sorry Mary. I was moaning about the fact when I posted it made sense because the censorship filter had been removed. So I could type in c.h.o.c.o.l.a.te without all the stupid dots inbetween letters. But since I posted the filter has gone back on, so now it all reads as healthyfood - and that isn't what I wrote so it is frustrating.
Not moaning about getting off-topic :hug:
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Silly me. I get you now. I remember the first time I read healthyfood in a post I thought - 'that doesn't make sense, what the chuff is going on' Go
Good job lots of other words aren't censored or we would be typing all night :rofl:

The one that amused me most was the blue-prunes visiting bird tables!!

Calm down, calm down! :Nooooo:
It was me who changed it but I've got rid of it now since a few of you are getting upset. Having chocolate censored to healthyfood has been in action for most of the time Purrs has been around - so several years then - and it's always been a fun feature of purrs, imo. Originally Tan changed it (or maybe it was Gill) years ago, and it just never got changed back. Since then, when it's been mentioned, we just kept the "censor" as it was considered amusing by most people. Easy enough to explain to newbies that we prefer to talk of healthyfood rather than chocolate here on Purrs ;D Most of that has been done by Gill (with encouragement from me!) but when it was pointed out to Tan recently, she got rid of it (unaware of the fact that we kept it that way deliberately). I changed it back for a joke but if people are getting upset then I guess we'll just go back to plain, old chocolate ;D So untwist your knickers, peeps - you have your chocolate back ;D

Good call. A joke's a joke but it has run its course...
