I Need An EXTRA Tasty Cat Treat Please!

I need an extraordinarily extra tasty treat to give Kevin after his twice daily medication sessions (see thread "My new cat is sick" for details). he gets a very nutritios daily food and vitamin so healthiness of this treat really doesnt need to be a consideration, it just needs to be tasty! we just something to help him get through this 10-day nightmare. please post if you have any ideas.

also any ideas on how to get him to stop hating me for giving him all these meds would great.

I hear pill pockets are good ... I use wildside salmon

he doesnt get pills tho, he gets two different things in each ear, stuff in his eyes, and liquid oral stuff.
theres this whole big routine twice a day and it REALLY sucks for him bad so i need something to make him feel better.

Greenies are a favorite at our house

May I cat sit Chip and Cable for a few days

maybe a little spoonful of the solid gold blended tuna?

Hmmm we don't do very many 'normal' treats here...but my cats will do back flips for a teaspoon of science diet a/d (from the vet). I call it pork liver surprise.

My guys are living a sheltered life. They think any dry food that's not in their bowl is a treat.

They do all attack the medicated kitty for a piece of a pill pocket...so they aren't just functional, they're really tasty!! Mine think so anyway.

I know this may sound odd as a treat, but Sadie goes wild for fresh green beans and romaine lettuce...she can't get enough of them.

I forgot, those freeze dried shrimp treats have always been a hit.

Yeah, I tried the freeze dried shrimp with my Pico, he is soooo picky, and he loves 'em. They do stink though!

Merlynn and Pico LOVE tuna.

I hear those pill pockets are great...all my medications are in liquid form...oh well. May be worth trying.

Oh, they're not the healthiest thing, but Merlynn loves the Friskies tender treats, any flavor, as long as they're tender.

Villy's pretty fussy but she loves Whiskas treats. Or how about a little bt of Tuna?

you guys have given me some great ideas, thank you!

can of tuna in salt water, my cats go nuts.
also if your cat is struggling with stuuf in his ear try wrapping a towl around him when you give him the medication

Mine will search the house for "We Pity the Kitties" treats--I've caught them dragging the bag around and tearing into it. They come in chicken and salmon flavored.

oh i already do that, learned that after getting scratched the first time

this is our twice daily session:
twice a day i have to wrap him up in a towel, pour cleaner in one ear, massage it, pour cleaner in the other ear, massage it, put ear mite medicine in one ear, massage it, put ear mite medicine in the other ear, massage it, give him oral meds, put eye stuff in each eye, wipe out the ears with cotton swabs, clean his head off with a baby wipe cause all that makes a mess. i have to do this two times every day for 10 days.

i am switching over to pills though cause i left the liquid out overnight and now its no good and i hafta go buy more. so where do i find the pill pockets? didnt see them in the treat aisle.

I have seen them at Petsmart, as just a display in one of the food aisles.

One thing that I have heard works well as a pill cover-upper and I know is irresistable to kitties, is the squirt cheese. You know, the stuff that comes in a can? I've heard it from many people that this is even irresistable for the pickiest ferals, so it should work.

If you have a feed store look there ... my local farm store has them for 3$ and the pet store is 10 for pill pockets
