With a unique blend of a crunchy outside paired with a "pocket" of soft filling, nine out of 10 cats can't resist TEMPTATIONS Treats for Cats.

Strengthening the Cat-Owner Bond
Since cat owners do not treat as often as other pet parents, TEMPTATIONS aims to provide owners with the perfect opportunity to create those playful moments that ultimately strengthen the bond between pet and owner. With an irresistible taste and texture, TEMPTATIONS Cheezy Middles make treating more enjoyable for both since Cheezy Middles are the treats cats go crazy for.

"Not all cat owners treat their cat and they're missing out on a great way to bond with their favorite feline. Incorporating Cheezy Middles treats into your daily routine is fun and easy, reinforces your cat's positive behaviors and might even unlock your cat's hidden silly side," said Dr. Tiffany Bierer, Health and Nutritional Sciences Manager, Mars Petcare US, the makers of TEMPTATIONS® Treats for Cats.
