I got 2 bags the 1st bag the cats loved. The 2nd was diff. The cat's won't touch them. The bag's look identical except the ingredients. Why?

I think this is a question for the manufacturer. I don't know why the ingredients would change. I do know that some of the bags have harder treats in them than others. My cats like the softer ones and I don't understand this difference between bags either. I have 4 cats. All 4 loved the 1st bag. Now I am lucky if one of them will eat them without being forced! They are definitely not as popular as Temptatiions or Whisker Lickins, but I have to keep trying. Sometimes they will eat them better if I break them into pieces.

I would guess that whatever the additional ingredient(s) is(are) is not palatable to your cats. They have discriminating palates and won't eat what doesn't taste or smell good to them. Plus, cats are quirky. One cat will eat these anywhere, the other will not eat them if I am in the chair in which I feed her treats, as she knows that this is not her usual "green cat treat". If, however, I give her the lyine treat where she naps, she eats it with relish! Works every time! Try a different location with the lysine, perhaps that will work.

I also hadn't noticed a change in the ingredients. Out of my 3 cats, two have no problems with snapping up the treats. For one (of course the one who needs the lysine most), I have to break the treat into little pieces and mix it with his food. If it's mixed with dry food, he'll sometimes leave pieces, but if I mix it with canned food, he eats it all. You may want to experiment with mixing it up with treats you know they relish.

I have found that once the bag is opened the treats dry out fairly quickly which makes them hard. 3 out of our 4 cats love these treats.

We have 2 cats and I buy the 12# bag to save money. Our most recent bag was purchased 12/12/2013 and the "Best by" date is 11/4 2014. It has a nice "ziplock" resealable bag to help keep it fresh. I often put in our large upright freezer to keep it even fresher. The cats love it and look great!

I have 3 cats and it takes a long time for them to eat a bag. I believe it is because the quality is so high it is filling. With that said, I put 3/4 in and old plastic tub (yellow litter tub). The rest I leave in bag, roll it it up really tight, and put packaging tape on it. The bag is plastic so it peels right off later. I think it will last a long time but I would recommend saving a plastic litter box or something silimar to put the bulk of it in especially since warmer weather is coming and you do not want ants etc.

I would measure your cat and the bag dimensions closely. My 5lb Maltese had to be squeezed into the small which he hated. Sad because I think the color and quality were nice. Good luck.

Yes sir, they are identical. A very good buy. In fact, I was so pleased with the first one, that I actually purchased a second bag. I am very happy with both of them. I hope this helps. Tony

To: Doctor "K", I will look right now, so hold on. My cats are all so nutty, it is hard to tell if they are having that special "feeling" from one of their catnip toys. I ordered these because they have the rattles in them and when I throw them, I shake them first and they love that noise. Then it is like a herd of buffalo running for them. My veterinarian came to my home and told me that hands down, she has never ever seen so many cat toys. LOL From what I can see on the box and also read on the individual tag attached to each little mouse, there is no catnip in/on them.

I apologize for my previous response about the air fresheners. The Oreck bags are 'original' and a knock-off. The bag was very easy to replace and fit perfectly. I have not noticed any dust or smell since putting the first bag in. I have 2 cats any have not seen any hair flying around because of a bad fitting or loose fitting bag. You can expect to receive the best.

Don't appear to be, just sprinkled in the bag. My cat is crazy about catnip, but totally ignores these.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer the question as I emptied the bag into another container and threw the bag away. I can say that my cat's vet recommended this item after our visit in January due to the condition of her calculus build-up. It seems to me to be better and Luna loves them. I give her one each morning and that is usually what she eats first.

I have fed this for many years and haven't really noticed a difference in the bag. My dogs seem to be exactly the same. Sorry that's the best I can tell you.

Same thing happened to me and I never did get an answer as to WHY? But, I still like the bags and use them frequently. Keep trying to buy them local, but no luck so far.

My kittens didn't have this problem. I would contact your vet. FYI, I have since moved to the Wellness CORE Kitten food since it is actually more economical per oz, seems more wholesome, and my kittens prefer it to this.

Honestly, I'm not sure. My cats loved it right away. Maybe take it apart and have them check out the individual parts- maybe they are scared of it because it's a bit large?

I just threw my empty bag out. I store mine in a giant plastic cereal container. I have to because my cat finds the fish ingredient very tasty. So do the rats. They have a really smooth coats since switching to this food. They don't itch anymore either.

I tried several substitutes and nothing worked as well. I finally decided the pellets were the best for the system. I did, however, decide to use fewer pellets since my cat decided that flinging them out of the box would be fun. I have been able to get a bag to last two months instead of one.

If the bag size...weight...is the same, then save the 10 dollars. I have not found a lot of difference between single cat or multiple cat option. Both work wonderfully!

Hi. I only left the old box there for a day. I took it away and watched my cats and they used it right away. Try using some litter from the old box into the new one. Don't worry she will use it. Put it in the same spot as the old one.
