   For those of you like myself have found these treats to be addictive to our kids. Unfortunately DelMonte sent me this email with their decision to discontinue them. Link at the bottom to send a note voicing your opinion.

   Dear Gary,

   Thank you for your e-mail about Pounce Lickittys. We're glad you took the time to contact us and appreciate the opportunity to respond.

   We're sincerely sorry to disappoint you, but Lickittys is in the process of being discontinued. This was a test market product available for a short time at PetSmart stores and at PetSmart.com. Unfortunately, it didn't meet the criteria for a national launch and we made the difficult decision to stop making the product. You may be able to find it in stores for a little while longer, but it will not be available after existing stock runs out. Your opinion is very important to us and will be shared with our Management.

   We'd like to help you find another Del Monte pet product that your cat would enjoy. You may want to try Pounce Moist or Crunchy Cat Treats. With this in mind, I'm mailing you some money saving coupons.

   My sister in Virginia said all her friends are disappointed also. She wants to sweet talk them into giving up the recipe so she can make them herself. I don't think they will. Twelve states from coast to coast at last count on Petsmart's website had people raving about them. Brought new kitten in a few months ago and she loves them like our older ones. I wish they would rethink their decision as my kids won't touch anything else. Maybe after they go through withdrawal.

   I had bought some of them @ the PetSmart in Tucson but unfortunately my crew doesn't like them. Still bites that they are discontinuing them as it looks like so many ppl's kittehs adored them.

   Deuter Bug wasn't interested in them, but Teaser LOVED them! I am sorry to see them gone because so many peoples' cats loved them!

   Oh, WWM is going to be sad to hear this! I think it was her two, and GD's Bobby & Mi, and I know I'm forgetting a bunch. Doesn't the silly company know that the TDK universe is big enough to keep them in business?

   I thought about that too Kilroy--I do not want to be the one that has to tell Windi and Willow no more Likkities--those feline girls will not be pleased!

   I'd better make a run to Petsmart tomorrow night and see if they still have any left. My poor girl, Bailey, will be so disappointed! Normally so sweet and timid, she turns into an evil monster if anyone comes between her and her Lickitty! The last time she was given one, Bosley got too close and she bit at him and then put the whole thing in her mouth and ran to the bedroom!! I'd probably do the same if someone got between me and lasagna ;)

    OMG. This product must have outsold every other treat on the shelf. Can't believe they would pull it. I want the receipe too. We looked at the ingredients and seems almost like a boullion cube without all the salt. If there is not a lickitty in the spot my cat expects it he sits and stares at me then the spot then me....shame on them. There is no other product like it on the market so their suggestion that we buy a different treat from them is bogus. I'm not buying anything from their brands.

    I'm going to have to see if Petsmart has anymore left. I bought a couple when I first heard of them here on TDK. I wasn't happy w/the fact they only had chicken flavor (most mine like seafood flavored anything) but I picked them up anyways. Hopper took an instant liking to them & so did his boy Rusty (like father,like son). Rusty had his own plans about themtho. He managed to pull both of them off where I stuck them w/his front teeth (it looked like a pacifier in his mouth). To this day, I've never found the base of either of them. :)

    Hahaha! This is terrible! So many kitties addicted to Lickittys! Is there a program to help them? You're right Kilroy...WWM isn't gonna like this at all! I think she's the one who got everyone here started on them. =D

    This is absolutely horrible news. I have been searching for more of these for weeks. Luna is going to be soooo pissed this Christmas.

    I wrote to DelMonte to complain but they said they have definitely been discontinued. *severe sobbing* Every time that I drive by Petsmart I stop and buy any that they may have gotten in a restocking shipment. They will restock until they completely run out.

    We need to find out the formula and make our own!

    OMG! How will I EVER tell Betty and Wilma??!!??!! GD got them started on them after my first brain surgery when she sent them. I must have missed this post while recovering from my second brain surgery. Oh NO! Must put PetSmart on list when I am out running to pick up excuse from Dr. tomorrow.
