Your Cat And Treating

Treating your cat isn't just about giving them a tasty snack. It's a special way to bond with them. Think of TEMPTATIONS™ treats as a loving form of communication that builds trust and creates positive moments. 

Why you should be treating your cat

Beyond the emotional perks, lickable treats can also play a role in training and rewarding good behaviour. Offering a treat when your cat uses the litter box or scratches their post instead of your couch reinforces positive actions. It's a win-win!

The Significance of Treat Selection

Not all cat treats are created equally, so it’s essential to choose treats that meet your furry friend’s dietary needs. TEMPTATIONS™ cat treats are a popular choice, thanks to their high protein content. 

Knowing Your Cat’s Dietary Needs

Cats are carnivores, so when picking cat treats, look for high-quality ingredients like animal protein and be mindful of any allergies your cat may have. Remember to check with your vet if you’re not sure about the best treats for cats.

Exploring Variety

Just like we enjoy different types of foods, cats appreciate different tastes and textures too. Rotating between soft and chewy treats keeps things interesting, so introduce new flavours of TEMPTATIONS™ treats to see how your cat responds.

Presentation and Delivery of Treats 

Knowing when and how to give cat treats will go a long way in your relationship. They’ll beg and meow, but remember, you’re in charge! 

Creating a Ritual

Establishing a consistent treat ritual can make the experience more meaningful. Choose a specific time of day for treating, like after dinner or in the ad breaks of your favourite show. Then choose the best treats for your cat through advice from your vet and of course your cat’s taste preferences! Rituals can also include fun elements like calling their name in a special way or shaking a special treat jar. 

Interactive Treat Toys

Interactive toys that dispense treats can turn snack time into playtime. You can get all sorts of treat-dispensing toys, from simple puzzles to more complex gadgets. These toys sharpen your cat’s natural hunting instincts and keep them mentally stimulated. 

Hand Feeding

Hand feeding your cat treats is a wonderful way to bond. It encourages trust and makes your interaction more personal. Sit on the floor at their level, be patient, offering the treat from your hand until they feel comfortable. TEMPTATIONS™ treats are a unique way to hand feed your cat.

Observing and Adapting to Responses

Every cat responds differently to being treated, so pay attention to your cat’s behaviour to treats and the way you present them. Watch their body language, mood, and adjust for the different times of day.

Reading Your Cat’s Signals

Cats can communicate a lot through body language(open in new tab). Look for signs like purring, tail twitching, or playful behaviour like zoomies. Is your cat more excited about certain flavours? Do they prefer cat treats from your hand or a toy? They’ll tell you!

Adjusting Your Approach

If your cat isn’t a fan of hand feeding, try a fun treat toy. If they seem disinterested or walk away, it might be time to switch things up. Experiment with different times of the day or treat flavours to see what clicks.

TEMPTATIONS™ cat treats can make them love you even more. Enjoy the process, stay patient, and you’ll be able to create some beautiful moments together. Happy treating!
