Like many people who have to give pills to their dog I wrap Chelan’s in a bit of neon orange glow-in-the-dark American cheese polymer. I would never purchase the pre-sliced individually wrapped stuff except to serve my four-legged cancer patient her pills. It works like chocolate coating for humans only chocolate doesn’t cause cancer. This ‘cheese’ on the other hand…I think it would be worth investigating.
To accompany Chelan’s evening meal I grabbed a single pre-wrapped slice for pill prep. The unwrapping of the cellophane scared the crap out of the cat. He took off up the stairs not touching a single step. My cat can sense pure evil and he knows it’s embedded in this ‘cheese’. The next time the cat decides to serenade me at four in the morning I’m going to wave cheese in his general direction. Stand back! I have cheese and I know how to use it!
My cat is so stupid.
Hahaha! Man, I hate that “cheese.” I would run far away, too

Allison – *waves some glow-in-the-dark polymer cheese at Allison* Are you sure you don’t want any? I’ll dip it in chocolate for you.
This is so funny! My dog is terrified of plastic bags. He’s traumatized every time I come home from Wal-mart.

Mama Zen – hahaha my cat fears EVERYTHING. I think it’s because he’s an indoor cat so he has to make up for the lack of excitement in his life.
OMG I’m laughing so hard my incision site is huting! That made my day
i can’t decide which is scarier…cats or polymer cheese lol

ciara – ok I know cats aren’t your bag but scary, really?
I am sure you are right about the neon cheese, it can’t be good for you and how much cheese is actually in it.

My dog AND cat hates plastic…
Sorry about your doggie Erica…They certainly are a part of your family!
G-Man – Thanks G-man. Oddly the cat likes to chew on plastic grocery bags. Of course as Eco friendly people we’ve mostly stopped using them especially since the store gives a discount for using our own bags. But the cheese wrappers and other random things send the cat running. I don’t get it.
That stuff is nasty, isn’t it? Yuck! When I was a kid I always wanted my mom to buy it b/c all the other kids seemed to have it…we didn’t b/c I’m sure it was “too expensive.” Now I realize I wasn’t missing anything!
Sorry about your doggy.
Christy – Thanks Christy. That cheese is pretty gross. I don’t know if it was too expensive since it was something my mom bought. Usually she bought whatever was cheapest. She’s such a cheapskate that I had to bring back the plastic sandwich bag everyday to reuse for the next day’s lunch. I’m not friggin’ kidding! It made my sandwiches smell horrid and that cheese taste even worse. You REALLY didn’t miss out on anything.
Oh man, I’m really sorry to hear about Chelan. That’s always a tough one no matter how many times you’ve been down that road.
Nutro makes an alternative to the neon cheese that works pretty well. They call them “pill pockets” and they’re basically a soft hollow meaty-tasty treat that you can slip a pill into and then pinch the end shut. Available at finer pet supply stores everywhere. And probably not terrifying to those of the feline persuasion.
Then again, the deterrent factor of the neon cheese might help you get more sleep at night, so…
