What to do for a cat that doesn't like treats?

My Specs just does not like treats; no Greenies, nothing. Today was claw clipping day and I give each furkid a Greenie after clipping but Specs turns his nose up at it. I've tried just about every kind of treat that I can think of. Do any of your cats dislike treats and, if so, how do you reward them besides saying "Good boy/girl!"? I never used to give treats but I felt like a bad cat mom because everyone else seems to do it. He was a pretty good boy today, not the usual antics when clipping claws, and I felt bad that everyone got a treat except him. (In this pic, it looks like he has 4 ears because Boo is behind him. LOL)

I wouldn't waste your time, theirs, and more important YOUR $$$$. I learned the hard way that the only ones they WILL eat is Whiska Lickins.

My Ebbs is not one for cat treats either, the one exception being Whiskas Temptations but she will sometimes turn her nose up at those too. A little piece of chicken or ham is always welcomed with much enthusiasm though.

Tried the Whiska Lickin's, Donna, to no avail. Maybe I'll keep some Buddig turkey meat on hand. Puddy used to love that; maybe Specs will, too.

Scrappy 2 doesnt like treats either , but loves Armstrong Old Cheddar Cheese.
And Miquelito the Little Orange Lion , Pouncierge the Precious and Juke Joint Joseph all like the slices I get when I but the Deli Meat Ends I buy at 2 dollars a pound over the much pricier Whiska Temptations about 7.5 a pound and not as nutritous.

Oh now, fresh turkey is a totally different thing!! My cats won't leave me alone they love it so much. Mollie Rose has her breakfast of scrambled egg with cheese and turkey in it. If I don't make it for her, there is hell to pay.
