Whiskas Tempations (better known as "yummies" at our house). They love 'em.

The only treats my cats get are catnip and a plate full of Laxatone that they lick off of whenever they want. Other than that, I don't use any treats of any kind. I used to give Pounce and Bonkers way back when I didn't know better, and I had a lot of problems with colitus and diarrhea! Now they only eat hard food. Even the occasional canned food treat upsets their stomachs and makes them puke all over the house!! Once in a great while I'll give one of my cats a small piece of cooked plain green bean or something along those lines. He's the only one that will eat it!

I also heard that those kinds of treats are bad for cats!!! I give them canned Nutro every once in a while

Every now and then we will pick up a packet of "Love Heart" treats for the cats - we don't give them treats too often, they do well on their dry food

I feed single protein, nothing added treats - human-grade protein sources as often as possible. Brands include Dr. Harvey's Whisker Smackers, Grandma Lucy's, Rosie's Rewards, Kitty Kaviar, ShrimpNip, Old West, Wildside Salmon, another excellent brand is Whole Life.

Small dried smelt (a tiny fish). Smells absolutely discusting, but they adore them.

Very little, as only one of the 6 in my house doesn't need to lose weight. She occasionally gets Dentapaws, and if Ginger has been good, he can have a few extra Senior/Light biscuits!! I have recently seen some dried whitebait, and did contemplate them, but it won't help the diets, so didn't bother.

Summer won't eat any...I've tried a few different kinds and ended up giving them to my mom and a few of Scott's aunt's who have cats. The vet even tried giving her a treat during a visit and she snubbed it.

She gets Nutro canned about once a week, so that's her treat.

Nya is REALLY fussy about treats. I can't buy anything crunchy,she hates it. She loves Pounce treats, but I feel bad giving them to her (even as a treat lol). Luckily I found something she really loves. Freeze dried Chicken Hearts! And Buddy loves them too (eventhough he'll eat anything
)

chicken necks are a big deal around here... i give them a few times a week and my cats crunch them up like puppies. other than that, the only treats they get are small amounts of appropriate healthy human food.... every time i make burgers i make a tiny burger for each cat, silly me.

Can any of these be found at regular supermarkets or PetSmart?

Only the Old West line - shrimp and baa bits. have I seen at Petsmart, plus they carry one or two kitty kaviar knock-off's (my description as kitty kaviar came first) The others you will find in mom and pop or specialty brick and mortar pet stores, or various online stores.
