How many treats can I give my cat per day?

The number of treats you can give your cat each day primarily depends on their weight. Check the feeding guidelines on the package to determine what’s right for your cat. Just remember: Treats shouldn’t replace balanced meals, so adjust meal proportions if you’re giving treats frequently. And always consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about your cat’s weight or health.

What are the different ways to give my cat treats?

You can give your cat treats in a number of different ways for different reasons. Use small treats like Classics as training rewards. Bond with your cat by hand-feeding Lickable Spoons or Lickable Puree. If your cat needs some mental stimulation (which is always a good thing!), place treats inside puzzle toys to engage your cat’s hunting instincts. Treats also make great food toppers, especially for picky eaters. And, finally, give your cat special moments every day by taking the time to offer them a few treats.

What flavors do cats like best?

Every cat is different. Popular flavors include chicken, salmon, tuna, and other seafood varieties, but you’ll need to try different flavors or MixUp multi-packs to discover what your cat likes best. And don’t forget our catnip-flavored treats, too. If your cat is a big fan of catnip, you’ll definitely want to give those a try!

How do I store cat treats?

Make sure you seal the treat pouch each time you open it to keep your cat’s treats fresh. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct heat or sunlight. And, finally, make sure you use the treats within the timeline indicated on the package after opening it.

Best Cat Treats for Your Feline Friend

Giving your cat treats is an irresistible way to bond with them! Made with real protein, added vitamins and minerals, and full of taste and texture, the best cat treats have a delicious flavor (appealing to your cat!) and healthy ingredients (appealing to you!).

Treats are great as little pick-me-ups throughout the day, but they can also play an important role in your cat’s training: they can reinforce positive behaviors, make learning sessions more engaging, and provide ways to bond with your cat.

But cat treats are not one-size-fits-all. Does your cat like crunchy? Do they like creamy? You want to choose your cat’s favorite without compromising on nutritional value.

In this guide, we'll show you what to look for in a quality cat treat, how to match treats to your cat's preferences, and the best flavors for kittens, indoor cats, seniors, and more.

Lickable and Wet Cat Treats

Lickable Puree

If your cat is a fan of smooth, creamy textures that deliver irresistible flavor, you may want to try TEMPTATIONS™ Lickable Puree treats. They come in easy-to-use squeezable tubes, are single serve, and have fewer than 15 calories per tube.

Create a playful bonding routine by feeding them to your cat by hand, squeezing them into your cat’s bowl, or using them as a meal topper.

Our top flavors are Tasty Chicken Lickable Puree and Savory Salmon Lickable Puree.

Lickable Spoons

TEMPTATIONS™ Lickable Spoons are another favorite for cats who love the texture of a creamy puree. Plus, they’re served on a specially designed spoon. Mess-free? Yes, please!

These treats are made without fillers or artificial flavors and contain added vitamins and minerals. And like our LickablePuree treats, they’re less than 15 calories per serving. Feed them with the spoon for a sweet moment between you and your cat, or serve as a meal topper.

The top TEMPTATIONS™ Lickable Spoons flavor is our Lickable Spoons Tasty Chicken and Savory Salmon.

Crunchy on the Outside and Soft on the Inside

Classics

What if you’ve got a crunch-loving cat? Give TEMPTATIONS™ Classics a try! These treats offer the best of both worlds, a crunchy outside and a soft, creamy center.

Use TEMPTATIONS™ Classics as a treat for training, part of a meal, or a food topper. Each one is less than two calories. And our top flavors are Tasty Chicken Flavor, Savory Salmon Flavor, and Tempting Tuna Flavor.

Large Cat Treats

Jumbo Stuff

If bigger is better in your cat’s opinion, they’ll love TEMPTATIONS™ Jumbo Stuff treats! Featuring favorite flavors like JUMBO Stuff Tasty Chicken Flavor, Savory Salmon Flavor, and Tempting Tuna Flavor, these treats are bigger with more cream than Classic TEMPTATIONS^TM Treats.

Like our Classic treats, TEMPTATIONS™Jumbo Stuff are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. They can be used as a treat, meal, or topper for your cat’s food. With only two calories per treat, these are a great choice for cats who are left unsatisfied with smaller treats.

Variety Cat Treats

MixUps

Available in multiple different flavor combinations (CATNIP FEVER™, SURFER'S DELIGHT™, and BACKYARD COOKOUT™), TEMPTATIONS™ MixUps have 3 flavors in one delicious pack, making it easy to keep your cat satisfied and surprised with a variety of tastes to choose from.

Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and with less than two calories each, these treats can be used in cat toys and treat dispensers, or as a meal topper.

Catnip Cat Treats

Catnip Flavor Treats

Catnip is like magic! It triggers pleasure receptors in your cat’s brain, creating instant euphoria. So, TEMPTATIONS™ Catnip Flavor Treats add an extra layer of “ta-da” to treat time!

Like the MixUp treats, TEMPTATIONS™ Catnip Flavor Treats are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and are also under two calories each. Serve them as a straight-up treat, as part of a meal, or as a cat food topper.

Our top flavors are Blissful Catnip Flavor and, seasonally, Creepy Catnip.

Kitten Treats

Kitten

While we’re at it, let’s not forget about your kitten. The younger set deserves their share of treats, too!

TEMPTATIONS™ Kitten Treats are nutritionally complete and balanced and includes DHA to help support your growing kitten’s healthy brain development. At the same time, these treats are specially formulated with flavors that appeal to newly developing taste buds.

Use TEMPTATIONS™ Kitten Treats as a treat, a food topper, or as a special meal for your little feline friend. They come in two textures: crunchy and puree. The crunchy treats are crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right size for your kitten’s small mouth.

Be sure to try Kitten Chicken and Dairy and Kitten Salmon and Dairy flavors.

Indoor Cat Treats

Indoor Care

Indoor cats have different nutritional needs than outdoor cats, especially when it comes to digestive health. TEMPTATIONS™ Indoor Care is specially formulated with increased fiber to help with your cat’s digestion.

But the extra fiber doesn't interfere with the irresistible taste of these treats! They’re just like our Classic treats (less than two calories with a crunchy outside and soft inside) but specifically made for your indoor cat.

Like all our other treats, use TEMPTATIONS™ Indoor Care treats as a treat, meal, or food topper.

Senior Cat Treats

Creamy Puree

TEMPTATIONS™ Lickable Puree Senior Cat Treats are the perfect treat for your senior cat. With soft, lickable textures, they’re gentle on aging teeth and are easy to swallow. Bonus: The high moisture content helps support hydration.

Give your older cat a treat to look forward to! With less than 15 calories per tube, TEMPTATIONS™ Lickable Puree is a great way to bond with your old feline friend. Or try squeezing it into a bowl or using it as a meal topper.

Tasty Chicken Lickable Puree is a favorite among senior cats.
