"The cats really likes this and will gladly lick this from my finger. I sometimes use a plastic spoon so she can get a larger amt. at once. Sticky and a little sweet I guess. Hoping it helps her feel better!"

— Deb

"Ouch, I got a bad cat here, I even tried with my 3 yo who eats anything Nope!! I even shook it hard to mix it better. Still no takers. Or maybe the tube is defective like others said."

Bottom Line

If you're looking for a joint supplement for your cat and can manage the runny consistency, this gel might be worth a try. However, if your cat is picky about taste or you prefer a firmer supplement, you might want to consider other options.
