A place for pet lovers to exchange tips, tricks, and stories about their furry friends.
 
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've tried these with my cats as well. My the first cat I've had, Santana loved them and the youngest one now, Julia does too. The other two pretty much love whatever I give them. Yes they aren't too healthy, but sometimes it's ok when it makes them happy. :)
