Whiskas Temptations Creamy Dairy Flavor Cat Treats

I would like to see the cat that will come running when you rattle a bag of treats. We have adopted two cats and we are having trouble trying to find a cat treat that they both will eat, we want to give them different kinds of treats from time to time so they don't get bored with them. This treat from Whiskas Temptations called "Creamy Dairy Flavor" is developed and dispersed by the Mars company. This treat is basically a small pouch with vitamins and minerals packed into a small chewable treat. But, how do you get lucky enough to purchase one that you know that your cats will like.

There lies the problem you have to spend some money, to find some tasty treat that your picky cats will like. These could be the best treat in the world for one cat and be free, but if both of your cats do not like it, then they are worth less to us. Thank heavens, that we have a few dogs that act like garbage disposals and will everything in sight even their own feces in our backyard. Our dogs will eat anything again and again, and every time that we have another failure, the dogs are the beneficiary of this. So, if we fail at a certain treat then at least the dogs are happy. You can find this treat at Meijer's or a pet supply store for $1.99 for a 3 ounce reseal-able bag, Temptations is a creamy dairy flavored snack, and is produced by the Whiskas Pet Products division of the Mars company. This should only be used as a snack, and not the main source of their diet. Plus, if anyone knows of a treat to help us speed up our mission, please let us know. We are open to all suggestions.

Guaranteed Analysis
This also has crude protein minimum of 30.0%, crude fat a minimum of 17.0%, crude fiber maximum of 4.5%, and maximum moisture of 12%. They will also only get 2 calories per treat.

Description and Experience
This product is basically only smells good to animals, as for humans this does not smell to bad at all, this treat has a slight odor to is and it smells like a mild chicken and cheese flavor, and it does not smell like beef at all. But, hey, who am I to say what smells good. This has one type of shape and that is the shape of a miniature pillow or a small pouch of catnip. All of these pieces of treats are also two different colors, and they are dark brown on the outside and a light tan on the inside. These are hard when you try to squeeze them, they can break up into smaller pieces when you apply pressure, on average these are about ½" in diameter.

Just like your children do to you when you take them to the store and they scream at you that they want some candy, you are taking a chance when you buy a treat for your cat. Unlike a dog, where they will eat anything, cats are very finicky, and of course our cats or no different. It is hit or miss when it comes to treats, even if you ask for help from the store employee. In this case I don't think that our cats realize that these are actually treats, but our dogs don't care and don't know that these are cat treats they just gobble them up if we offer them a treat. These also come in a 3 ounce reseal able plastic bag, that can be recycled to help the environment. This also tells you that there is not too much product inside of the bag. So if you happen to hand out a lot of these treats to your cats you will have to do it sparingly, because these will go fast if your cats like them.

Conclusion
In our case we are stuck with some new so called cat/dog dog treats, so we make sure that we only purchase small samples ,3 ounces or less. So, we continue on our adventure, to try and find which treat will make our cats go crazy and listen to us, when you open up the container. (it kind of feels like you have extra wives around the house when you have cats).This time one of our cats like this treat and the other one won't even touch it. No matter, what the companies make the packaging or television ads look or the product smell like, if you have a picky cat, then you will just have keep trying to find a treat that makes them happy.

These may make that cat in other households go crazy, but it does nothing for one of our cats. If we are lucky ,all we get from our calico is a weird look as if she were saying "What am I supposed to do with that?". The calico cat doesn't even eat them if we toss them into her food bowl, and not even if we try to use them as a treat or training treat. I know, you think cats can't be trained, but I have been to the pets ahoy show at Sea world and I have seen them in action.

The only thing that our calico cat will do with these treats is smell them if that, we did get a lick and a very slow attachment to this treat this time from our other cat but that was it. These do still make a good cat treat for training for our dogs. The minute that our dogs hear the bag of treats rattle, they come running and beat the cats to the punch, and even though these don't smell like anything really special to our dogs, they still scarf these up. With any luck we will find a treat that both of our cats will enjoy. So, the adventures of finding the right nemo goes on.
