Fun treats?

My old cat used to love cantaloupe but these guys don't care about it at all. Are there any things your cats like that I could give as a treat?

    my old cat loved cheese- low fat laughing cow, to be exact (but any type will do). The new kitties go crazy for (unflavored) yogurt. Dairy products may cause tummy upsets in some kitties though, so try in small amounts first.

    Things my cat wants for a treat: anything he sees me eating, including potato chips and hot chocolate.

    Things I feel make for healthy kitty-snacks: a couple bites of whatever cooked meat I'm eating provided it wasn't marinated or sauced up first, along with a couple bites of green veggies like beans or asparagus that were cooked in with the meat (say, from a crock pot meal), or a couple tbsp of the broth from cooking the meat. Also, the male cat likes the dehydrated chicken (but the female doesn't seem to care for it). My boyfriend occasionally gives the male cat a bite of pork rind, and I don't holler too loudly about that. We do a canned diet, and so for a treat we sometimes get some of the Felidae dry food, and give the cats a few bites at a time.

      These guys don't seem too interested in "people food" like my old cat did. He especially loved tortilla chips! I'd just let him have a little one now & then. I don't eat meat, so poor guys aren't going to get any meaty table scraps, but I seem to recall Lama stealing some of my cheese once! Hehe.

        sometimes i steam broccoli and sprinkle a little nutritional yeast on it for my kitty. I don't know if she necessarily considers it a "treat", but we sure get a kick out of watching her eat veggies!
