Treat Suggestions Help!

I was interested in getting my cats some treats! Don't knock me for this but when Tiger (my overweight cat) gets a treat lately I have been giving him purina cat food (he use to eat purina, not by my choice and I had left overs)! Id rather give him something better and more beneficial. He is overweight so nothing too fattening! Also what is a good kitten treat? I never messed with treats before! Tiger is very very picky about foods and such (he would probably prefer a smaller crunchy treat)! Suggestions anyone?

I think doing the food is excellent. If you have one that's different then his regular food he will feel it's a treat.

I used to give packaged treats and then looked at the ingredients and saw corn sryup. Now I know my cats do not need sugar. I was basically giving them kitty candy. I quit buying them.

I have tried the Royal Canin treats and the Greenies treats but in my mind they are just like giving them dry cat food so why not use cat food if they like it.

I have used the Science diet dental food as treats but they can't get that every day as it is very fattening.

Right! I rarely rarely give treats! I did get a free sample of Whisker Lickens and my older cat loved them but I wasnt too fond of the product! I think Ill stick with dry treats! Im going to toss the purina and use their left over nutro dry as their treats then... Thanks!

I notice they are 80% protein. I have a kitty that is sensitive to proteins. I'm told it is an allergy. She does fine with lower protein foods but high protein she will throw up.

Yeah, I use dry food as treats too. Mine do back flips for the solid gold dry. They have a 4lb bag of 'treats' to finish now ...the Nature's Variety raw instinct but they all like it now so I won't fight it.

Im not sure if protein is an issue for my cats! They do not vomit (Tiger threw up one time in the course of a year)! I guess Id have to try to find out!

Other crunchy treats are those by Grandma Lucys - roasted chicken, freeze-dried mahi mahi, tuna or chicken liver (the liver is softer and more crumbly).
