I know that many of my guests seem to love Dreamies and Webbox, as a treat. But I agree any treat needs to be given in moderation.

I think it's OK for treats to be a bit 'unhealthy' as long as they are given in moderation. Like a few chips now and again for humans is OK but we shouldn't eat them everyday.

My cats vote for Dreamies and Whiskas Temptations  ;D

Mine adore Webbox sticks, they also like the Whiskas treats but nothing gets their attention like a pack of Webbox!

We always like to reward the girls with treats, but we do use it to our advantage for getting the girls in on a night time, by shaking the dreamies packet they come running and I know then we are all tucked up for the night. 
We do give them tasty sticks as well but we didnt realise that we only give them these when we sit out in the summer.  Now the nice weather is here they were both sat purring and running around our legs that is when we realised what they were after. It was so funny that they remembered from last year.

I don't know about healthy as most treat will a bit naughty  :) but mine always liked Webbox type sticks (there's lots of different types)
Please consider the harder to home cats in rescue.

I rarely give treats as Amber would scoff them and get fat. When I do I hide them so she has to hunt which makes it more interesting for her. Dreamies get her attention VERY quick but she also likes whiska's denti bits and kitivits (I think thats what they're called)
I have 6 toilet rolls taped together and plan on adding more soon. I stick a treat or 2 in each tubs and let her 'find' them  :evillaugh:
love

 :welcome:
Mine love the natures menu treats http://naturesmenu.co.uk/products/Real_Meat_and_Fish_Treats/Real_Meat_and_Fish_Treats/
Pets at home do the chicken and liver and the salmon and trout ones but ive not yet seen them in a supermarket

chicken (doesnt have to be breast) is fine as treats but youre better off cooking it yourself- the precooked packets you can buy have a fair bit added to them (salt and sugar, preservatives) if you cook youreself make sure you take out the bones  ;)

Best cat treat?
« Reply #1 on: April 03, 2011, 16:10:48 PM »
Our cat likes the Dreamies treats but we wanted to give her something healthier and tried giving her the Thrive 100% chicken treats, but she really seems to hate them. She licked one and ran away from it, won't have anything to do with them. :(

Can you recommend a treat that cats like and is healthy? Could you give them small portions of chicken breast possibly, and if you do, how much is appropriate?

Thanks.
