Meet Seamus.

I don't understand what is in those Hartz (I know) Delectables Bisque treats that make my cat crazy. At first I thought it might be the tuna, but I tried just the chicken recipe and he still scarfs them down. They are just so expensive. I tried pureeing a can of Fancy Feast Kitten Ocean Whitefish pate because I have about 15 cans left over from his tiny kitten days. Turned his nose up at it. I even warmed it in the microwave for a few seconds. All the package says is water, chicken, natural flavor, tapioca starch, guar gum, annatto extract color, carmine color. Obviously, the tuna ones have tuna instead of chicken. What could possibly be in there? Anyone have success with some other substitute? I know there are other brands but those are even more expensive. Thanks.

We don't have that brand where I live but if you're talking the liquid treats, my cats love them no matter the brand. We bought a giant pack of 60 for like $20 at Winners of the Churu brand. Also saw a big pack at Costco recently for much cheaper than anywhere else, the Catit brand.

When we buy them in the little packs it usually comes to about 1.25CAD per, but in bulk they're pretty significantly cheaper. It's how we give our cat her liquid medicine.
