ok so I made the mistake of leaving a pot of cat treats where Bugs could get to them last night and went to bed. This morning I come downstairs and all the treats have been eaten bar three!!! The pot was a Whiskas Temptations pot but had sainsburys own cat treats in them. They are only meant to have 12-15 MAX a day and he ate three quaters of a pot!!!

He is now running round like a total loon being really naughty and acting like a kid on a massive sugar high!!

Any ideas if this is going to hurt him??? (other than me strangling him or Chewitts biting the hell out of him if he jumps on her one more time???!!!!)

How long do you think this hyper stage will last?!?!

Needless to say I have learnt my lesson put ALL treats out of reach!!!

I'm afraid my lot aren't that intelligent to be able to open the Smilla Hearties box that sits on the kitchen worktop - thank goodness!!!

I would think he'll be ok apart from maybe a 'soft bottom' when it all comes out again. Perhaps just make sure he's drinking enough water to be on the safe side......

And perhaps some Rescue Remedy for you & Chewie so that you are both less inclined to throttle him!!!

Not sure, but if you invite me round and have a bumper box of Milk Chocolate Buttons I could grab hold of, I may be able to find out the human answer and convert it to cat hours.

Obviously, this would be for purely scientific and good neighbourly reasons. It would give me no pleasure at all....

He hurt himself in the end that has slowed him up. He pulled the modem down onto his head!!! He has deffo quietened down now but I now have to keep a close eye on him to make sure he didnt hurt himself. At the moment his pupil refelxes are equal and reactive and no vomiting so will just keep an eye nothing develops!!!

I have my dog at the vets today aswel as she has woken up in agony with her back/hips again so its a crazy day today!!!!

Oh no - hope he is OK

Hopefully he will be sensible now and sleep off the effects. x

Yeah he seems fine at the moment. He is sleeping at the moment but has eaten since it happened and still been running around etc since so hopefully it wont have any lasting affects on him (apart from maybe teaching him NOT to pull at wires!!!)

Lumboo Im afraid I dont have any big boxes of choc buttons but its a good idea maybe we should test these sort of things more often

I too am prepared to assist with this scientific research but would require White Chocolate Buttons to provide a more rounded analysis of the final results.

I'm sorry KFM but your post has given me a little giggle! I hope Bugs isn't bouncing off the walls for too long

Just seen this post.....

The poor wee sausage.... What are they like eh???? I defy anyone to tell me that they are easier to look after than kids...........

Glad Bugs didn't do too much damage to the house or himself. Also big hugs to your poorly doggy too.

Kats, Kids, (k)spouses - none are easy to look after, all steal treats when you aren't looking and then you spend more time looking after them whilst they meow/moan about the damage!

I have been extensively researching with a bag of Maltesers this afternoon. You will be pleased to hear I banged my head on the desk whilst I was trying to sort out my computer, so my conclusion is treats = lack of serious concentration and injuries; these are quite the norm.

Hope Bugs is acting more normal now.
By my reckoning I will start being normal in 2021 providing I have no more treats
