JK> One of my friends at work is *adamant* that yogurt is not good
 JK> for cats.  When I told her of Soosie's affinity, she was aghast
 JK> and told me I should NEVER give her any yogurt.
 JK> So!  What do you think??
I have a great book called Cat Love:  Understanding the Needs and Nature
of Your Cat by Pam Johnson.  In her section on nutrition, she gives a
list of treats that are good for cats.  Among them are cucumbers,
garlic, alfalfa sprouts, carrots, vitamin c, tomato juice, cod liver
oil, vitamin e, broccoli, green beans, lima beans, peas, celery,
brewer's yeast tablets, asparagus, wheat grass, cantaloupe, and yogurt!
Good luck getting your critters to eat some of the stuff on this list.
I know that mine are picky eaters and only like fried chicken and bacon
and would laugh at me if I tried to feed them green beans.
As far as the yogurt, she says that a tablespoon of it is a wonderful
and healthy snack.  It says to buy plain, unflavored yogurt, that your
cat won't miss the fruit flavors, but I don't see any harm in a lick or
two of yours.  She also recommends that you give your cat yogurt if she
or he is taking an antibiotic as the medication may disturb the natural
intestinal balance and cause an intestinal yeast infection.
