Vital Essentials Minnows Freeze-Dried Cat Treats, 0.5-oz bag

I worried that these might be tough for my kitties to eat, or that the bones might be too much, but they are so light and crisp, my cat doesn't have any problems eating them. The only problem is that one of my cats doesn't like them at all. He won't even try to eat one, he just sort of batted it around the kitchen. That's fine, his brother dove on top of it as soon as he'd dispatched his own. So I've got one cat who thinks they're the greatest thing that ever happened, and one who thinks they're very gross and not even a suitable toy. There's no accounting for cat taste, I guess.

So, I was saddened as my cat Luna didn’t go for it at all. One smell and she was walking the other way. She’s usually picky with food, not treats but I don’t blame her since I expected it to have a fishy smell but it smelled too much like something that preserved it which I did not like because it reminded me of a soft perfume. Weird. Maya likes it on the other hand which I guess is good because it’s a raw food that is good for them but I won’t be buying this again. My brother will most likely do so for Maya though.

my cat absolutely hates these treats and goes out of her way to avoid being even remotely close to them. She's always a little iffy about trying new things so sometimes it takes a while to see if she truly doesn't like something or if she was just skeptical. I put one in her food bowl to see if she'd get around to eating it and she refused to eat her food until I took it out a while later. She's a little miss priss! But I'm still giving three stars because I'm sure these will make good treats for some other cat! I'm going to take them to a nearby shelter!

I saw a lot of reviews talking about how their cat hates them, but at first my cat looked confused over them and I was a bit disappointed at first... but then I decided to break the minnows into thirds and she ate it. Now whenever she sees one in my hand she will bite it but she wont really eat it unless i break it up which is fine. Definately will be buying these again.

I wasn't sure about this one... it took a bit of convincing, but once they all figured out it was edible they gobbled these up. It's pretty cute actually, they get so excited they play with it for a bit before devouring them. Not sure how much health benefit these have, but if I can get four cats to follow me for anything it's a win!

Our bengal kitten is 13 weeks and we can say Horus fishy and he comes running. Loves them. They are literally freeze dried whole minnows, no preservatives or add ingredients. Perfect for kittens! We tried other ‘treats’ and he will not touch them.

I have two cats, brother and sister from the same litter. One of them couldn't care less about these, but the other goes completely insane if he even hears the bag crinkle!!!! He'll sit by the drawer that I now keep these in (because he tore open a bag already) and cry and cry until I give him one. These are by far his favorite treats. They don't seem to be for all cats, but for those that like them, they're awesome!

My two oldest are very picky eaters. Basically they got started on dry food and won't eat anything else now. They just bury or ignore these treats. My two kittens are young enough that they like to try new flavors and textures. They play with them and crunch them right up.

I have 3 indoor cats and 3 outdoor cats. None of my cats are picky and not one would eat these : ( I than gave the treats to a friend that has many indoor and outdoor cats and the most she got was one batted the freeze dried minnow for a second with his paw. These 5 star reviews must not be real. Out of 14 cats not one would even attempt to eat these. Obviously, I will not be purchasing this again. Very disappointed.

I thought I would try something more natural for my cat but she won't go near them. They actually are little whole minnows and there's a bunch in the pack, it has a nice freshness seal
