@Annacats totally agree, our cats would do the same … but then again: one of them eats even broccoli like there is no tomorrow

I know. What in the world is in those cat lick treats? It can't be anything legal.

@nyrath @Annacats cadaverine and putrescine (plus probably some taurine):

A little more than "slightly" yucky, I think. But logically it makes perfect sense. And it explains why there is nothing in the ingredients list which is not in conventional pet food. Thanks for the answer.

I personally have no problem with cadaverine and putrescine in my pet's food, but obviously others may find it off putting.
