Why Temptations Tasty Chicken Treats are the Only Reason My Cats Actually Like Me
We are officially living in a world where my cats, Luna and Oliver, have completely reversed the hierarchy of this household. It started subtly, but now, it’s a full-blown feline dictatorship fueled by one specific yellow plastic tub: Temptations Classic Crunchy and Soft Cat Treats (Tasty Chicken Flavor). If you think you own your cat, try opening a cabinet door at 3 AM without causing a stampede. We’ve tested every "gourmet" snack from salmon flakes to expensive organic bites, but nothing—and I mean nothing—commands immediate respect like the 30 oz. tub of Temptations Chicken.
Let’s be brutally honest here: these treats are the undisputed gold standard of feline crack. They have that crunchy outer shell and a soft, meaty center that seems to trigger some primal, prehistoric hunting instinct in even the laziest indoor cat.
According to the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, treats should only make up about 10% of a cat's daily caloric intake, which is the only thing stopping me from giving them the whole tub because their "begging eyes" are truly a form of psychological warfare.
The Midnight "Training" Ritual
I knew the cats really liked temptations treats. As a matter of fact I worried about it a little. They would fight each other for them they would wolf them down at the speed of light. And then they would just run around looking for more a little too intensely for my comfort.
Instead of just handing them over like a pushover, we’ve turned it into a game. I place them around the apartment—on top of the scratching post, under the edge of the rug, on the windowsill—as an exercise in hunting them down. They do very well at it! It’s hilarious watching Oliver sniff around the sofa like he’s on a high-stakes drug bust just for a tiny 2-calorie chicken bite. The taste has made it so easy to train them to get along with each other, which used to be a nightmare because Luna is a bit of a diva. Now, depending on the game, they will actually sit and patiently wait their turn for their treats.
Why the 30 oz. Tub is a Life-Saver
We don't do those tiny bags anymore. If you’re a serious cat parent in the US, you go for the 30 oz. Tub. It’s the "Costco-style" mentality but for feline happiness. The tub is super easy to use, and the resealable lid actually works, which is a miracle because Oliver once spent twenty minutes trying to chew through a cardboard box of a different brand.
Nutrition or Just Tasty?
People always ask us if these are "healthy." While they are "Classic Crunchy and Soft," they are also nutritionally complete and balanced for adult maintenance. According to VCA Animal Hospitals, cats are obligate carnivores, and chicken-based treats are generally high in the protein they crave. Each treat is under 2 calories, which means we don't have to feel like monsters for giving them a midnight snack

The "Cabinet Sit-In" Story
Last week, I forgot to buy a backup tub. Mistake. Huge. When the tub ran dry, Luna literally sat in front of the cabinet for three hours. She didn't meow. She didn't move. She just stared at the wood grain with an intensity that made me feel like I had failed her as a provider. When I finally came home with the new 30 oz. tub, the sound of that plastic seal breaking brought them both sprinting from the other side of the apartment like they were Olympic athletes. They both have never passed on getting them at night and usually are sitting and waiting for me to get them out of the cabinet before I even have my slippers on.
Customer Reviews Corner
Top Review: "Great value and product. My 2 cats have me trained to give them a handful every time I get up at night to, you know..... I place them around the apartment as an exercise in hunting them down and they do very well at it. The taste has made it easy to train them to get along with each other and depending on the game, they will patiently wait their turn for their treats. They both have never passed on getting them at night and usually are sitting and waiting for me to get them out of the cabinet. I like the quality of the treats and the easy to use and resealable container they come in."
The Verdict: Why Temptations Wins Every Time
We aren't being neutral: Temptations Chicken is the best cat treat on the market because it is the only one with a 100% "No-Fail" rate in our household. We've tried the expensive, freeze-dried raw liver treats that cost $20 a bag, and Luna literally tried to bury them like they were trash. Temptations? She would jump through a ring of fire for one.
The value is insane. The quality of the treats is consistent. And honestly, the "hunting game" we play at night keeps them active and mentally sharp, which is exactly what a bored indoor cat needs in 2026.
