I wonder now if the Temptations treats I was giving her was the cause of her deteriorating close to death a couple months ago...so hard to tell. Now that I just came across someone posting about Temptations treats (maybe you in a different thread?), I think I will stop giving them to my cat. I do give her freeze-dried treats as well and also Feline Greenies. Thanks for posting!
I goggled the product and some AWFUL reviews and consumer complaints came up, saying they caused some cats to even deteriorate close to death. Was petrified yesterday!
Anyone else experienced this?
Yes! Exactly. Since it's supposed to be a "treat", it seems okay, but it's not. If it was the Temptations, then those cheap treats ended up costing a few thousand dollars. :doh3:Everyone is careful with food but forget about the junky treats they might be feeding!
I no longer feed Tempatation Treats . As you know the ingredient list is extremely long and fine print , well I neglected to read all the way to the bottom and recently discovered that they use BHA/BHT preservatives . Very bad stuff .. I felt horrible that I was giving those to my babies as I never want to feed anything like that to them ..

Did Lucky recover after you stopped the temptations?I realize this thread is a little old, but my middle-aged (only) cat, who almost never even coughs a hairball ,and does not go outside, has been throwing up and lethargic now since yesterday .He has been eating TEmptation treats for a long time, and as described on the consumeraffairs website on which I googled Temptation Treats, has begun reacting to them. He seems a bit improved today, and I've been feeding him only small amounts of wet food with NO treats. He loved the temptation ones so much, and it all makes sense now with the addictive behavior where he would sit and beg, pull on my clothes, for them. I bought a new bag a few days ago; had stockpiled some before that so hadn't bought any for a while... He at first loved them as usual (I throw them for him to chase, so he gets some exercise). Then after the first day, he would run after them, sometimes put them in his mouth and spit them out, or else just look at them and come back to me. Then yesterday he threw up so much liquid, although dark, I thought he had urinated on my living room carpet, (which he has NEVER done. A poster child for the litter box in fact). But as I sopped it up, I realized there were tiny pieces of food mixed in. The last spot was just foam. No hairballs. He threw up several times after that during the day. Last night he for the first time all night crowded up against my leg, between myself & my husband. I petted & brushed him several times, and he did not move. Never got up all night. This morning he did get up to follow my husband to the kitchen, and we gave him only a teaspoon of wet food, which seems to have satisfied him. He is sleeping again, and that's not unusual but he is in a hunched up posture instead o stretched out. I hope all will look at the consumer affairs web comments on Temptation treats, as it describes my experience (and worse) over and over and over. ? I haven't taken Lucky to the vet because he is so extremely terrified of it I'm holding off. But Beware! Does anyone else have any comments? This is the link to consumer affairs Temptation treats. I'm not good at this so I hope it works. http://www.consumeraffairs.com/pets/whiskas-cat-food.html
I would love to hear some current comments from others.
Please do not give your cats these treats, especially the wild salmon flavor. My family has suddenly lost two cats and we have reasonable suspect that these treats caused their deaths.
This might be coincidence, but I'm noticing that my cat seems to barf more right around the time he gets these treats. I recently gave him just 2 for 2/3 days in a row and on day 4 he barfed up all his dry food in a huge mess and later spat up a tiny bit of more liquified vomit.Please do not give your cats these treats, especially the wild salmon flavor.

My cats love the Bravo freeze dried raw treats as well, I give them the turkey treats.For those looking for healthier treats, you might want to consider Bravo. My cat wouldn't touch them at first; then I smeared a little hairball stuff on one. My cats gold standard for the "yum" factor is how he eats his treat. If he refuses to let it touch the ground, that's his gold standard sign the treat us as good as fresh cooked chicken breast. He does not let Bravo touch the ground; Temptations is immediately dropped to the ground. Bravo is 100% real chicken (or meat depending on flavor). No barf--ever, by the way.
