Beefeaters Salmon Treats

Riding herd on six household felines is hard work, 24/7. You need a lot of tools to maintain kittycat harmony; high on the tool list are tasty treats (or as we sometimes call them, fish-flavored bribes). We have a vast array of snackables in the pantry. Variety is necessary because the cats are so damned finicky. “Oh, I don’t like this. I may have loved it yesterday, but now it smells like poo.” Nice.

Thanks to a tip from a feline-loving friend, however, we have a treat that the kitties find hard to resist: Beefeaters brand freeze-dried salmon.

The cats come a-runnin’ when we break out the Beefeaters! Five of our six charges are helpless before the treat. Leon, for some reason, turns up his nose at it every time. Oh, well; can’t please everybody.

Here’s a clear picture of the container.

As Kitty Bloggy points out, the salmon treats come in big chunks and tend to crumble into salmon-flavored dust (which is great sprinkled on cat food, or so I’m told). M takes pains to carefully slice the big pieces into smaller bite-sized portions, a must if you want one container to last more than a couple of days.

Beefeaters also sells a cod-flavored variety. Oddly, the salmon version is always low in supply or else sold-out when I visit PetSmart, but the containers of cod are always, er, plentiful. Hmm. The PetSmart buyers may want to take a look at that.

Alas, this stuff doesn’t come cheap. The standard two-ounce container (yes, it’s light) costs nearly seven bucks a throw. Due to the popularity of the salmon flavor, we make a point of purchasing three tubs at a time. It wouldn’t do to run out.

You know, they smell so good that I have been tempted to try them myself. I haven’t, though; for one thing, the cats would severely disapprove.
