Probably not a good suggestion. Actually, only one of my cats liked it. One
Thanksgiving he got into the cranberry sauce and from then on, I would buy it
for a treat for him but eventually, he got sick and tired of it and switched to
asparagus and watermelon. Go figure. I loved that cat. Wish he were still
here today.
Spay and Neuter your cats and dogs and your weird relatives and nasty neighbors
too!

I tried cranberry and Homey ran every time she saw me with a glob of it on my
finger. Not a happy camper.
