One of the reviews mentioned that the paste smells like bacon. How strong is the bacon smell? We're having problems giving meds to our cat.

It smells more like beef jerky. My cat was really falling for it for a week but now is wise to it. Annoying but thats my cat. He definitely liked it more than pill pockets. If the pill isn't too big, try wrapping it in cream cheese or crush it and get a feeding syringe and force it in through the back if his mouth. It's tough.. Dogs just suck everything down, cats are picky!

It's not that strong to me. If you drop the pill in the back of your cats mouth their not really going to smell it.

It is very strong. In addition, it is so stiff that it's difficult to sweep it out of the container and wrap it around a tablet or capsule. I wouldn't be able to get my cat to use it. I bought it for my dogs, but Pill Pockets are a much better product.

But.... Definitely worth a try,, I'll go back to it again and he will probably eat it if he has a break from it.

It has a very strong fake bacon smell. I didn't think a cat would like it. My cat loves it!! He takes two pills a day. I am able to give him his pill with his food. I put it on top of his food, in his bowl, and the pill is now the first thing he eats. I guess the strong smell masks the bitterness of the pill.

It's very strong smell. To much for a cat maybe. Crush the pills & mix into a very small amount & see if that works. Remember to crush the pills. Cats are smart

The smell is noticeable but I have had no problem with my dog but she loves bacon. A cat may not like it.

it is a great product & has a smell to it but is much better then what cats leave!! I just swear by the uscrams. If you wish the cats to be gone -just use the uscrams & it will do it naturally.

I like Feline pine much better. I have tried yesterday's news and didn't even finish the bag before switching back. I like feline pines fresh scent.

My last order came as 'natural flavored'. I've just ordered another bottle but it won't arrive until after the first of December. It did not give me an option of flavor when I ordered and didn't realize it came flavored. I understood from the vet that it was tasteless to the cat mixed with the wet food so hopefully it will come just as natural flavored.

Ours does not smell bad at all. Both our dog and cat love it and drink out of it constantly, often at the same time.

The powder does have a distinctive odor (kind of fishy), but I only notice it when I sprinkle it on wet food. Of course a cat's sense of smell is better than mine. I think she will probably eat it since she won't really know it's there.

My experience has been completely different. I use the pellets on other smells because works so well. When our cats both elected to use a houseplant instead of the litter box I put a layer of pellets in the pot. The smell was gone. (side benefit was the cats both switched back to the litter box) I even put a layer of the pellets in the litter at the bottom of our cage for our three rats and it cut the urine smell considerably. A friend even asked if we had gotten rid of the rats because she didn't smell them any more. There's also a spray called Nature's Miracle. We use it for all the animals and it's great. For the poop smell we keep a covered trash can next to the box. Hope it helps. My experience has been completely different. I use the pellets on other smells because works so well.

It doesn't really smell like anything. Definitely not Salmon. As for the taste, I'm unsure. I know my cats loved it though.

I think it's supposed to be the scent - what is in it I don't know. My cat liked the scent, but she didn't gravitate to the kitty box the way the other commenters described. I think the litter was coarser than she likes. She'll reluctantly use the kitty pan when she's unable to get outside, but otherwise she's not interested. Based on the other comments, I think it must be my picky cat rather than any defect in the litter.

I am using it for my rabbit now. I just bought a corner regular litter box and put the pellets right in there. She took to it immediately. Its been a week now and I dont smell a thing. I leave the solids in there because they are dry and have no odor anyway. I will just dump it when it starts smelling.

That powder Ia normal. It's the stuff that helps calm the cat. Should show that on the packaging if I am not mistaken. Do not wipe it off.

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

I don't know if it's flavored but I have no problem with my dog taking it. There is always pill pockets you can use if your cat won't take it straight.

I used feline pine and sometime ago noticed the re-branded bag recently and was wondering why it smelled so much worse in the litter. Buy a bag of pet/animal bedding from your local tractor supply store or other similar farming supply stores. It's a fraction of the price and works well. My cat breeder uses the horse/animal pine bedding instead of this stuff.

Honestly, it isn't normal. Grab a package of Bene-Bac here on amazon and that will help her. The ill-smelling bowel movements can be the result of a lack of healthy bacteria in her stomach. The Bene-Bac is like yogurt for cats - it will rectify the bacterial imbalance in her system.
