The cat likes garlic!


Trying to find anything to put on him for the fleas. He hated Frontline, he didn't like fennel. If he saw me coming with either one, he's gone! Mom suggested granulated garlic in his food. I thought, well, let's give it a try. I put a touch in a little cat food, he ate it. I tried a little more, he ate it. Wow! Let's try rubbing it on him. I put some in my hand and rubbed it into his fur, and he didn't run. I tried some more while he was lying down, he stayed in place. I was almost floored! :o

Incredible! The cat likes garlic as much as I do--almost. :9

3. I've read that feeding cats garlic is frowned upon these days.
I can't remember why other than it's a mild toxin. You may want to check with your vet or search on "cats garlic."

5. Raw garlic is frowned upon
but there are pet store preparations that use powdered garlic.

8. Excellent! And what a pretty cat.
We use powdered garlic too, that and a flea comb, she loves both.
