I recently bought a bag of Purina Whisker Lickin's Tender Moments for my cats. I bought them for my kitten because they are soft treats and I did not want him to break any teeth.
I bought the chicken flavor in the purple bag as seen in the picture. The bag contains 3 ounces of treats that are moist and shaped like drumsticks, hearts, or some other design that I can't identify.:)
The bag cost about $2.00 at Petco, maybe a little less. I bought my bag at Dollar General and it cost about $1.35.
The first five ingredients are: animal liver flavor, wheat flour, corn gluten meal, water, and chicken-by-product meal. I am not thrilled with these ingredients. Yes they are flavorful, but are they healthy?
I do not like chicken-by-product meal in my cat treats or cat food. I try to avoid it at all costs. My cat is 10 years old and losing some of her fur so I try to give her the healthiest food and treats I can find.
The rest of the ingredients are all preservatives or acids as well as food coloring.
After reading the label, I decided to just see if my cats liked it even though I was not happy with the ingredients. My foster kitten, Chico, went NUTS for them. He got so excited that he got his head stuck in the bag as soon as I opened them!
My older cat, Buffy, was a bit pickier. She ate a few, but then she turned her nose up to them. She prefers crunchy treats.
If you are crazy about what your cat eats, I suggest only giving them a few once in a while because they are tasty! Just give your cats a few as a treat. If you are more concerned about price, this would be a great product for you because it is cheap and tasty.
Bottom line: you get what you pay for. They are cheap, but tasty. Your cat will love them, but you probably won't.
I received a bag of Temptations Cheezy Middles as a gift. I was weary of these because I thought that cats were not supposed to have cheese. Nonetheless, I gave them a try. My foster kitten absolutely LOVES them. He cannot get enough of them. My 10 year old cat who is a picky eater loves them too! I gave them the green bag shown in the picture which is chicken flavored. I have yet to try the red beef flavor or blue tuna flavor. There are only 2 calories per treat and there is tartar control in each treat. One bag contains 2.47 ounces and costs about $1.99. Not a bad price.
After I gave them to my cats, I realized I forgot to check the ingredient list. The first five ingredients are: chicken-by-product meal, ground corn, animal fat(preserved with mixed tocopherols), dried meat-by-products, and Brewer's rice. Not the best ingredients. I avoid by-products whenever possible. Corn and rice are cheap ingredients and the cause of a lot of animal allergies. Nowadays, a lot of people are putting their pets on a grain-free diet. I put my dog on a grain-free diet after the vet suggested it: my dog has allergies to EVERYTHING.
I'm not saying every cat is going to love these, but mine certainly did! The price is not bad and there are coupons and promotions because it is a new product so they are really cheap. If you are not picky about the ingredients, then give these a try, your cat will thank you.
I was recently at Dollar General because there is one right across the street from where I live. I saw the week prior that Temptations cat treats were $1.99 at Petco. At Dollar General, they were $1.75 regularly and that day, they were on sale for $1.50. I picked up a couple bags and brought them home to my cats. I bought the Seafood Medley and the Tasty Chciken flavors. My picky 10 year old cat LOVED them! She loves the crunchy treats. My foster kittens also loved them. Whenever I want him to stop what he is doing, I shake the treat bag and he runs to me!
These treats are good for cats that have weight issues because each piece is only 2 calories. There is also tartar control in each treat!
I have yet to meet a cat that does not like these treats. However, I am a little hesitant to tell you to go out and but 10 bags because of the ingredients. I always look at the first five ingredients and the first five for these treats are: chicken by-product-meal, ground corn, animal fat preserved with some type of chemical I can't pronounce, dried meat-by-products, and Brewers rice. I am not a fan of those ingredients. I did not see the word "Real" in front of meat or chicken on the ingredient list. That is a red flag. However, it does contain natural flavoring.
Your cat will love these, but be careful how many you give them because they are not the best health wise, not terrible, but not fantastic. The price is not bad and they are good for cats with weight issues and in need of tartar control.
