Squeak Has An Addiction...

[Catty1]

That's why I try to avoid a lot of commercial treats - they are flavoured to really appeal to cats, just like junk food is for humans. Even the ones that have a "tartar formula" on them don't impress me. No nutirition in them.

However, I have received packages from Mom as gifts for them. I just mixed the bunch up into my new Treat Jar (thanks again, Karen!) and dole them out sparingly.

I suggest getting a healthy treat, like Medi-Cal (nice fishy aroma for kitties), and start mixing them in with the Temptations. Slowly wean her off the Temps and onto the other.

Sometimes, instead of treats, I give my cats a sprinkle of catnip!

My cats love the Medi-cal treats.

Another thought - she might be craving these because her body senses something missing in her regular diet. Just out of curiosity, what is Squeak's main course food?

Just out of curiosity, what is Squeak's main course food?

She has dry food available at all times, and a half a can of Fancy Feast in the morning, and the other half in the evening. The reason I started giving her the treats in the first place is because they're hairball control, and she HATES hairball medicine. I don't give her the hairball ones all the time. I also give her the ones in the same bag, but without petroleum.
