Please keep our babies in your thoughts and prayers. We still have a hard road a head of us in their recovery. You might have noticed that cats tend to have very specific tastes depending on their personal preferences. Probably the best way of preventing this from happening would be for you not to make a habit out of giving your cat Temptations every single day. 3. They can cause some health concerns

The original posts intention was to share information about what I had learned from my vet about my cats and what had happened to them. I was hoping that people would see that sharing information is supposed to be just that:informative. All I asked was to watch your babies closely and for well wishes for my babies. I NEVER said to stop feeding them Temptations treats. I left that decision to other pet parents to decide for themselves.

These days, many cats exclusively live indoors, which means that they do not get to have enough exercise, potentially causing them to put on too much weight.

Some of these ingredients in the treats could be considered questionable. Ground corn and wheat flour, for example, can be problematic, especially if your cat is allergic to corn or wheat. Animal fat is vague. It’s an unnamed fat. “Meat by-products” is another vague ingredient from an unidentified source.The treats do contain several artificial colors which can be off-putting for some consumers. Cats really don’t care about the color of food and treats so these colors are only added to appeal to consumers. Every flavor of Temptations that we looked at is formulated to be under 2 calories per treat. This means that if your cat is on a calorie-controlled diet, you can still give them treats when you want to. You can even cut these treats in half to make them go even further! Meat By-Products In addition to the following review of the brand, we hope the information in this lab report empowers you to take a scientific, data-driven approach to deciding whether or not this brand is the right choice for your cat. About Temptations

Meat by-products aren’t inherently bad, but some cat owners prefer to avoid them. Rather than being made with whole meat, by-products comprise entrails, organ meat, and bones, which are ground into a meal. This can be nutritionally dense, but some cat owners prefer to avoid feeding their cat any type of meat by-products, so it’s something to be aware of. Grains The warning garnered tens of thousands of shares in a few days, causing alarm among cat owners. Several worried and angry users posted to the Facebook wall of Temptations and in response to one such comment, the brand stated they became aware of the claim on 2 March 2016: UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response to my post about what happened to MY cats, and just simply trying to share information from MY vet, I've decided to take down the original post. I cannot keep up with the thread and my babies care comes first. They said that it was “unproven.” The claim originated from Punkin’ Pawz Palace Cat Sanctuary but it was repeated across the Internet. There were no FDA withdrawals or recalls related to this claim. Punkin’ Pawz Palace Cat Sanctuary removed the post a month later. What Kinds of Cat Treats Does Temptations Offer? If you were to base your behaviour as a pet parent on any claims made by pet food manufacturing companies, you’d feed your cat a wide range of potentially unhealthy options.While this type of flour might indeed have been used to maintain the shape and shelf stability of the product, the fact is that it is not going to do any cats any good. 2. Your cat can become addicted to them Like everything else,I’m sure diet can also affect behavioral conditions in cats such as this,just as it does in humans. But this is a known condition in cats–just ask the vet about it or google it. More importantly, try to notice changes in routines, environment or anything that could be affecting your cat emotionally as to the possible trigger of such behaviors. Reply Probably the best way to do this would be for you to gradually decrease the number of Temptations treats you give your cat. However, there is no way of telling whether your cat will love Temptations or might prefer something different until you give them a very small amount.
