Yes it would seem she didnt want to eat it just play with it, think it was all the crunching that got her attention she found abit id dropped and she was chasing it round for ages

Sly licked some popcorn once then chased it round the floor for the rest of the night.  :rofl:

So at least he burned the calories off then!  :rofl:

Grapes are good for that too  :evillaugh: although a while ago I found one that had turned into a raisin behind the settee  :-[

Lu prefers peanut M&M's, plus they make a good noise when he rebounds them off furniture too  :naughty:

Thats where obesity starts in pets I'm afraid  :-[

I have given Denzel a few little bits before with no adverse effects. I just gave her a few bits from round the edges tho, not the kernely bits.

Riley has eaten it before with no issues but he's a guzzle guts who will eat anything not intended for him! I wouldn't purposefully give her any but if she managed to munch a few stray pieces I don't think it would do her any harm.

I never give my cat anything except a few tastes off the yoghurt pots. Just stays with pet food and never have any problems with him.  :hug:
