Why My Cat Now Thinks She’s Royalty (Thanks, TEMPTATIONS Creamy Dairy Treats)

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Friday, April 11, 2025 | 241 comments

Let me just start by saying—I used to be the boss of my own house. Or so I thought… until I opened a tub of TEMPTATIONS Classic Crunchy and Soft Cat Treats in Creamy Dairy Flavor.

Now? I'm just the Treat Butler.

🐾 The Tub That Started It All

It started innocently enough. I picked up the 16 oz. tub at the store, thinking, “These will be good for the occasional reward.” 

HA. Joke’s on me. These things turned my cat into a furry little connoisseur who can now identify the crinkle of the tub lid from three rooms away—while napping. I don’t know what’s in these things (okay, I do—it’s dairy flavor, crunch on the outside, soft on the inside magic), but my girl is obsessed.


🎯 Objection #1: “Do cats really need treats?”

You know what? Neither do I technically need a daily oat milk latte, but here we are. These treats aren’t just for spoiling. They’re for:

  • Getting your cat out from under the bed when the vet arrives

  • Distracting them while you clip exactly ONE toenail

  • Luring them away from your keyboard during Zoom meetings

  • Rewarding their mere existence because, let’s face it, they are the main character


🎯 Objection #2: “Will this upset her tummy?

If your cat’s tummy is sensitive, you’ll appreciate that TEMPTATIONS doesn’t go too wild with ingredients. My cat, who once rejected a $10 salmon mousse (no, I’m not bitter), devours these with no issues. Plus, the 2-calories-per-treat situation? Love that for her.


🎯 Objection #3: “Isn’t it just junk food?

Okay, yes. It’s a treat. But it’s motivational junk food. They’re not main-course material, but they’re perfect for:

  • Trick training (my cat now high-fives for one—yes, she’s that girl)

  • Puzzle toys or treat balls

  • Nighttime bribery when she’s got the zoomies, and you just want to sleep


📦 The Tub = Mom Hack

The 16 oz. tub is actually the hero of this whole story.
No ripped bags. No twist ties. Just one-handed convenience and a lid that clicks shut like it means business. It fits in my pantry, doesn’t look hideous on the counter, and makes me feel like I have my life together even when I don’t.


✨ Variety = No Cat Boredom

Yes, this post is all about Creamy Dairy (which is clearly the cat equivalent of vanilla latte season), but let’s not forget TEMPTATIONS has a whole squad of flavors: tuna, chicken, catnip… you name it. So, when your feline friend starts getting a little too diva about dairy, you’ve got options.


Final Verdict: Get the Treats. Accept Your New Role.

If you love your cat (and if you’re reading this, you obviously do), just get the tub. You’ll feel like a snack goddess. Your cat will worship you. And everyone will be just a little bit happier during that chaotic hour between dinner and bedtime.

Oh, and don’t say I didn’t warn you:
Once you shake the tub, you’ll never walk through the kitchen alone again.
