Whiskas Cat Food Reviews

My cats love Temptations, have been known to rip open the bag. I have to keep the package hidden. But I enjoy giving them the treats because they enjoy them so much.

I feed my cat this brand for 13 years but something changed in the last 24 months. My cat refused to eat it and it would start to grow mold within hours of being opened. I tried all of their flavors and experienced the same results.

My three cats just love Temptations. There are a variety of flavors which includes a dairy flavor. The price is perfect around $1.99 per package and you can very often find them on sale. Most of all Temptation treats are just the right size. Cats have little mouths and they have a hard time eating large treats.

My cats lick the liquid and at times leave the meat etc. Not sure why but something must repel them from real fish and chicken. It's used as a treat or reward mostly.

I really like the Fancy Feast. Small cans are the amounts that I needed to feed my cats. There is no waste. The only thing wrong is it is expensive. I wish they would make more variety packages. They make any 12, 24 and 32 can sizes.

My cat loves this treat. Whenever we get home from shopping or one of my caregivers come in she knows she is going to get a treat and it is always Temptations.

I have feed these to my cat for years unfortunately now that I have read the reviews. My cat is so addicted to these, that he use to wake me up all night long to get some. So, I stopped giving him treats for a while. He will not eat his food unless there are some on top. He recently was attacked by a dog and his liver enzymes were up. I wonder now after reading the reviews is that maybe it is from the cat treats and had nothing to do with the dog attack at all. I am pissed off to no end that they would put this dangerous treat on the market. Here I thought I was giving my cat something good, only to find out I've been poisoning him.

My cat has been addicted to the treats. Wait all day in the same place for them. That’s all he wants. He won’t eat his dry food. He’s gone crazy just waiting around for it. He got sick, lost 5 pounds and I’ve spent hundreds on vets. He’s only three and I have to figure out what am I going to do to make him forget about all these treats. Please read all the reviews because it is damn true!

My cat was 13 2 months old. I had to euthanize him last week. He had been throwing up for years. Vet. Said hairballs. Week before he threw up every time he ate then he stopped eating, running, pooping. Back and forth to the Vet. Did a xray. His colon was packed and he was in renal failure. We decided to euthanize him because he had suffered so long already. I am 60 and have owned all kinds of animals and have never euthanized any this young. Now my 9 year old cat is throwing up taking him in tom. to the Vet. I am devastated that the USDA and whomever else would allow a company to kill this many animals and not stop production of this deadly Treat. Please Pray for my other boy.

I stopped giving my cats this treat and they stopped throwing up and lost weight. I fed my 1 cat the treats far too long and has renal problems like other complaints I have read. If you see this product throw away instantly and beg anyone you know to change to a product like Greenies.

I have been giving these (Temptation Cat Treats) to my (now 19+ yr old) cat for years. We have never had any problems. She vomits, but has hairball issues. Not "addicted" to them. She gets both dry and wet food. The cat eats like a horse, but has always been a little cat (She weighs about 6 lbs, never has she weighed more than 9 lbs.). She loves them.

My baby girl is 17 yrs old and suffers from kidney disease. She has been on a high end expensive dry food for years, along with wet food that I spike with 1/2 tsp fiber to keep things “regular”. She was doing well and I decided to buy Temptations treats as something extra to give her. She immediately LOVED them and responded like they were, well, crack. She could not consume them fast enough!!

I too have been giving my cats these horrible treats (Whiskas Temptations). They too have become addicted after giving them these for several years. I lost one of my cats back in September to what we thought was a thyroid problem which she had never had before. She had to be put down after losing so much weight and going into liver failure. Now, one of my other cats is losing weight and throwing up. I finally researched them and was shocked to find so many others with the same issue. I threw all the treats away and will never buy anything from them again, I just hope my cat gets better now. My older cat (14) has been pawing at me all the time, I thought he was just missing his friend but it's addiction. I am sure.

I have had several cats throughout the last 40 years and have been loyal to Whiskas tinned cat food but have noticed a decline in the meat quality over the years. At the beginning my cats loved the jelly meat tin - when opening the tin there was no horrible smell, very little jelly and my cats loved it till empty. Then the company changed the content and my cats would not eat it anymore. There was a bad rotten smell when opening the tins and my cats are very intelligent - they knew I was serving an inferior product so I had to give those two cats fresh mince (as well as cat biscuits and occasionally our leftover food) till they passed away.

You all know that our fur babies are precious. That being said, some of us, me, give them treats. My local pet store said we call this kitty krack & it is. My baby is 7 months old & I think I was giving him this tp #1 make him happy #1+2 leave me alone. But Quincy got really hyper, scratching me, jumping at me from behind curtains. So I cut him down to no more than 10 treats. He is calmer. I am going to wean him off and not purchase this product again. My Baby ain't gonna become a kitty krackhead on my watch. LOL.

My 3 year old cat is so addicted to these Temptations Catnip Treats he stopped eating regular food altogether. He is not drinking water from either and I can tell he is rapidly losing weight. He paws at the pantry door all day and night and won’t stop. He is barely using the litter box. My other cat throws up immediately after eating these so I do not give them to him. DO NOT BUY THIS POISON.

I wish I've read these reviews before giving my cat of 18 yrs these treats (chicken flavor). I would give a 0 stars if I could. My cat crave this temptation treat and quit eating dry when I started about 2 months ago. He has lost a few pounds and fell ill this week. Someone need to put this co. out of business.

My cat has eaten these treats for years. After this year he will not. He has been extremely ill and vomiting for more than half of this year. I didn't put two and two together until my boyfriend gave him treats last night and he threw up again this morning after not being sick for several days. I had to take him to the vet last week and it cost over 500 dollars running tests when all it was, was the treats. Save your money and your pet and just don't feed them to him or her.

I gave my cat who was a new mother of 5 beautiful 5 week old kittens a Temptations Cat Treat. Within the week she started vomiting everywhere. I put her separately so she wouldn’t get stressed out and when I checked on her, she was dead. Bloated belly, blood coming from the mouth. After doing much research I truly believe it was because of the Temptations treat that she died. DO NOT GIVE YOUR CAT THESE CAT TREATS. So many other people and pets have been affected by this company and it needs to stop.

Temptations Dry Cat Food - My cat has been addicted to these "treats" ever since she was little. I used to feed her only this. Then I thought something was odd about this craving, read the label, sent in a request for cat food evaluation and got nothing. She has been throwing up, but there was usually a hairball, so I figured it was the hairball. I started giving her wet food with less of this "treat". She will sit the entire day and not eat the wet food, until I guess she is starving, then she will eat it. She started biting me. I cut it down and down. She looks very unhappy when she doesn't get it.

Ate Temptations for 3 Weeks then Fell Ill - It's impossible to say with 100% certainty whether or not Temptations triggered pancreas issues for my cat... but I will say -- $700 in vet bills later -- the timeline perfectly aligns. Week 1 she became obsessed with the treats... a week later she started spontaneously vomiting and completely lost her appetite, which is very unlike her. She was given medication and is off the treats: hasn't thrown up since. Unfortunately the pancreas flair-ups will remain, so she is now on extremely expensive food. Just happy it didn't end worse. No matter how much your cat loves these treats, don't give in!!! Not worth it. My cat never got excited about treats or food, so I loved seeing her freak out for these snacks... which now makes me even more suspicious that something was up with them!

We have 4 cats. 2 ate these treats Nikita and Carmella. 2 did not, Hallie and Lilly. The two that did were peeing all the time. I even had to take Nikita to the vet for 130.00 Carmella stopped eating the other food and acted like a drug addict for those treats after not buying them for awhile due to the fact Carmella acted so addicted. Everything was okay with them. As a treat we bought them again and that's when it dawned on us. It was the treats because they started peeing 20 plus times a day and Carmella acted nuts. I just found out today when my wife told me after talking to my mom that same thing happened to her cat peed all the time run out of treats back to normal then noticed the peeing all day after the treats.

The fact Whiskas Cat Food can still get away with selling this garbage says a lot about the amount of inspecting that goes on in the pet food industry. My Cat, who just turned 4 years old this month, has ALWAYS been addicted to these cursed treats. It got to the point she wouldn't eat anything else, thus she became constipated from no moist in her diet. I tried switching her to a number of other treats, but she would go through withdrawal without Temptations (any flavor).

I was convinced there was an addictive component to Temptations cat treats. Our two cats were relentless in bugging me to give them their "evening treat." If permitted, they would eat the cat treats instead of any other cat food, wet or dry. I am just now reading what other cat owners say about this product. I've tried weaning them off the treats but nearly lost my mind trying to ignore their relentless demand i.e., in-my-face meowing, rubbing on my legs. One cat would sit next to me and poke me with his paw, again and again and again. If I yelled for him to stop, he would poke me and run and then do it again! I received my order of pet food delivered from an online company. I ordered 4 flavors of Temptations treats, but something is different - the cats won't eat them at all. They seem confused but won't back down with their demands. Now I want to know what the real story is here. Has someone made changes?

I fed our three cats the temptation treats. They got so addicted they cried constantly until they went through withdrawal. Whatever the ingredients there must be excitotoxins in them because their personalities changed. All three cats stopped eating their regular food. They were becoming sick too which is why I stopped buying. One cat pees blood now. One vomited for three days straight & the third cat was turning into a demon.

Temptations - Three cats almost died from this product. One 3 yr. old was so hooked she wouldn't eat anything else. As a result she was the first one of the three, to need medical attention. My older cat 18 yrs young was the second one to receive medical help. The third one is still in the vet's office, still running high fever. This needs to be removed from resale. You think you're buying something they like & you may make them deathly ill or actually kill them. They act as if they have been poisoned. The animal’s health is at risk, not to mention the very expensive vet bills. They all had extended stays in the clinic, praying this 3 year litter mate to the first one gets well. Still concerned about 6 others, since we rescue strays & rehome most.

My cat woke me up this morning for food and I purchased the Whiskas Seafood Medley treats for the first time. When I came home from work today, he had thrown up with some blood four times. He also had diarrhea and has not eaten dinner. Then, I realized that I gave him about 10 treats and he has been sick all day. He is 12 years old and this is very upsetting to see him not feel well. I will never purchase them again!

My cats love the Temptations cat treats especially the mixed ones. I notice after eating these treats they would vomit but not every time but they would look sick. No energy. I stopped the treats after reading reviews. Now my cats feel better. No vomiting. I'm hoping someone to check into the ingredients of these treats. My cats have more of an appetite after discarding these treats.

If I could rate this 0 I would. My cat loves catnip toys so I decided to buy her the catnip treats. She usually eats party mix by Whiskas. After giving her 2 treats, 10 minutes later she is throwing up at least 4 times. I don't know what they put in it that makes cats sick but Temptations cat treats need to go!

Temptations Cat Treats - Like others who have written reviews, there is something in this product (all flavors) that makes my cats sick. Something has recently changed in the manufacturing process, because this did not happen previously. In addition, as others have reported, my one cat became "addicted" to the treats and would not eat anything but the treats and developed mental problems and died.

My cat also throws up now when he eats Temptations. People call it Kitty Crack! I do believe GMO corn is the culprit. I believe that is the horrible ingredient change that has been made to its formula. It is proven GMO foods kill the good bacteria in your gut. I don't think cat’s digestion can overcome it because they are so limited on food choices. I am moving on to Newark treats.

I've had no problems with these treats in my 3 cats. We've used the Catnip, chicken, and salmon flavors with no problems. I wonder if the problems can be narrowed down to a specific area of the country and/or a manufacturing facility.

We have two 15 year old Persian/Birman cats and their diet usually consists of Whiskas Pouches and dry food (usually Hills or Iams). However the other day I decided to try some WHISKAS 7+ Years Cat Complete Dry with Chicken. I put it in the cat's dishes and they completely ignored it and refused to eat any. The following day when they were hungry I put some Whiskas dried food in one dish and Iams dried food in the other. They both eat the Iams but left the Whiskas alone. I contacted their Customer Care line and a nice polite lady just said "Sorry, they obviously don't like it." Some customer care!

Sunday night given my 3 cats the Temptation treats. Next morning my Sammy was deathly sick vomiting. Took vet. At vet they try put cath in him he went into cardiac arrest... and died. Very healthy. I given treats before and seen where they vomited. Now few days later my Lilly in vet fighting for her life... kidney failure... and infection. She also very healthy before they ate these treats. Temptation treats are deadly. They were are only 10 months old. Even vet said she so very young for these problems. Bad I lost one. Now good chance am going to lose her. Will never buy these treats again.

We have a cat who will eat nothing unless it is the Temptations Cat Treats. The Temptations Cat Treats were the daily source of his meals each and every day, it was all he ever wanted several times throughout the day. He will end up crying (meowing) for them if not given and will only begin to meow louder if I did not give them to him. He also has had several incidents of vomiting from these cat treats. It's very clear to me with the fact he doesn't eat much of anything else besides these treats, vomits shortly after, and everything that comes up is the Temptations Cat Treats treats. He is 4 yrs old (will be 5 yrs old in a few months).

My beautiful Bella went from being a healthy and happy 5 year old cat. I fed her extremely good food (Wellness). I started to give her Temptation treats about 2 months ago. Last week she started vomiting suddenly. I took her to the vets and she was diagnosed with acute renal failure. She spent 3 days in the hospital hooked up to an IV. She is home now but is unwell. I am heartbroken. Had I known how dangerous this product was I would never have given it to her. I am praying she somehow comes through this.

We have 2 indoor cats and have been feeding them the same high end cat food purchased from pet specialty stores without incidents; however, we occasionally have purchased Whiskas Temptations and we realize that when we do, these treats are making our cats sick. This last round: We just purchased and opened a new large container of the blue version and the cats go insane for these treats, but next thing you know, the vomiting started. When they do not eat the treats, there is no vomiting so we are positive it is something in these treats. They NEED to be analyzed to find out what is in them causing these serious issues?? We are done feeding these treats to our cats but will keep container as we are positive that once investigated properly, truth will come out.

I have a 12 year old cat who we have been giving Temptation Treats to for about 6 months. The most recent Treats were the dark green bag and she threw up every time she ate them. I washed our sheets and duvet multiple times a day for 3 days before I realized the cause was the Treats. I stopped giving them to her and the last 2 days she's been fine. I'm returning the partially consumed package to Walmart in Pickens, SC where I bought them. These Treats need to be removed from stores. They're making our animals very sick!!

Fed my little kitten Toby some of a Whiskas Kitten Chicken and Tuna Loaf pouch. Came home and he was tired and lethargic, wasn't playing and sleeping a lot. A few hours later, after waking up, he threw it all up on the floor and instantly was feeling better. Wouldn't recommend.

At first it was cute... Waking me up at night for treats. Now he won't eat regular food, and his behavior is centered around getting me to give him treats. His personality is not social like it used to be. NO MORE. This stuff isn't good... Not for my cat anyways. And it's the furthest thing from "healthy." I knew something wasn't quite right after giving these to him for around a month now but was second guessing myself because the notion of my cat being hooked on cat treats seemed absurd to me... Until now.

I gave my cat some of these treats, and he promptly threw them up. Even his bowel movement was a puddle in his litter box. After a two day fast of no water or food, and sleeping way more than usual, I had to give him tuna water. I will return the unopened bag to the grocery store, and throw away the other two bags that I had opened.

My cat loved the Temptations chicken treats (yellow bag), only gave a few at a time. Then he would prefer the treats over regular food, so I had to hide them. I stopped buying them, and then one day I decided to buy a fresh pack as they were on sale. When I gave him the treats, 5 minutes later he began to vomit them up. He vomited all night until all he was vomiting was bile and stomach juices. He would refuse to eat for days. I took him to the Vet, and there was nothing else found, no blockages etc. He is afraid to eat, and now I have to force feed him.

My cat loved the treats so tried different flavors. She loved the catnip ones but ended up being overdosed. She was drugged. Became lethargic, wouldn't eat, or go to bathroom. After trip to animal hospital and on IV fluids, she came out of her stupor. Now she is addicted to the salmon/tuna treats and not eating regular food. Have removed them and she is crying and begging for the treats.

On March 18th I purchased a 2 pack of Temptations cat treats from Sam's club in Greensboro NC. On March 19 I fed them to my cat and within 24 hours my cat was dead. I found him dead on March 20th. My cat was happy and healthy then within 24 hours of eating these treats he was DEAD! After reading all these reviews I truly believe that this is why he died. I was doubtful and the first until these reviews. The vet said possible seizures but it appears others have had seizures from these treats. This company needs to recall their crap b/c it's making our kitties sick and making them die! I fully expect a resolution from this company and I will be pursuing them to pay for his cremation bill.

My mother's cat is 18 years old, will be 19 January 2018. He has eaten Whiskas cat food his entire life, with some changes occasionally. When his food was changed, he would often throw it up because of his sensitive stomach. Especially in his old age, Whiskas cat food is the only cat food he can digest without any complications. After a bladder infection, he was put on a vet diet and couldn't stomach it longer than a month.

2 of my cats always vomit after giving them anywhere from 1-3 Temptations Mixups Sunrise Scramble treats. They usually throw up randomly in a 12 hour period. Finally narrowed it down to these treats. The expiration date on the package is 3-12-18, can't find a lot #.

Mom's cat... Healthy, energetic 4 year old that lives inside. Mom goes to store, buys whiskas treats for the first time. Feeds cat the treats for first time. The next day, 2 hours later cat is dead. At Colorado State University getting an autopsy. Will let you know results when they come in, but based upon other comments here, it sure sounds like it was the Whiskas.

I have given my cat Whiskas Temptations cat treats for years. She loved them. Tonight she died suddenly without warning. She seized briefly, meowed strangely, peed, and was gone. Only now have I read the horrible reviews about how this product can cause kidney/renal failure. Do NOT use this crap. It IS slowly killing your cats. I have 3 other cats, and will NOT use this junk any more and will throw away any remaining bags. Ridiculous. Anything for money.

DO NOT feed your cat Temptation treats. I thought I was being kind of ridiculous when I googled "cat addiction to Temptation treats" until I saw how common it was and how DEVASTATING the results can be. At one point my cat stopped eating his regular food, food that he was OBSESSED with and would gobble down in one sitting. A normally super social, friendly, and talkative cat, he would not eat, he would go into a room and sit under the bed for hours, then come out and sit next to the cabinet that had the treats.

We have been feeding our cats Temptations for years with no problems till recently when I noticed one of our cats, (a female) threw up 20 minutes after eating her treats. Which is highly unusual for her. There was one day prior to the puking event that, that she turned her nose up to eating her treats which was odd and I figured it was the Mixed flavored Temptations that she just did not care for. I got her the Turkey flavored ones instead. She ate these but puked 20 minutes later so it was then that I went out and bought a different brand of treats because I feared there might be something wrong with the Temptations brand.

So in September 2016 a cat followed my daughter (grown and doesn't live with me) to my house and he looked still really young but well taken care of so I decided to keep him and put up found papers. No one ever came so after two weeks he got really hurt by a raccoon and I didn't have enough money for a vet so I had to turn him over to our local pound. Never really wanting or really even liking cats I was kind of glad to be rid of him but his eye got hurt really bad (blind in his left eye). I started thinking if the pound has not put him to sleep. It's going to be hard c to find a blind cat a home so I went to get him. Now Baby is just that my baby and as mothers often do I try not to but I spoil him. He is a real picky eater so I thought I would get him some treats Whiskas temptations and at first he liked them but after a few times given to him he no longer would eat his real food.

I have a 8month old Egyptian meow. The only thing I added or changed was that I started giving her Temptations treats and within a couple of days I saw a major change in energy. The cat became lethargic and less responsive by the weekend. I was sure that I was going to have too put her down. I stopped giving her the treats just before it got that far. But for days after I was pretty sure she was a goner fortunately in the last two days almost 4 since I have given her any treats, it seem that she is slowly bouncing back. However still not a hundred percent. I just hope that she can recover as well as not have causing any long-term damage. I can't afford to have things chemically tested to prove any wrong doing on the company's part but I can say what I have witnessed with my own eyes. The cat does NOT HAVE ANY INTERACTION WITH ANY chemicals whatsoever and I haven't changed anything in the environment at all so that's that.

I've always given my cat Temptation treats. She would throw up a lot. Last week we ended up at the vet. I came home to a few vomit piles. She continued to vomit, only in her litter box!! She was vomiting a yellowish liquid. This was scary so I brought her to the vet. No fever. The vet said to take away all food and water for the night. They gave her fluids. Once I got home my daughter had researched the Temptation treats and was horrified. I have changed her diet to grain free dry cat food, Tiki cat canned food and am only giving her freeze dried treats. Since she stopped eating Temptations she hasn't thrown up once!!!

We recently purchased the 10 kg dry food for adults. It is AWFUL. Unfortunately we threw the bag away since we usually store the cat food in plastic containers to keep it fresh. We have 3 cats. One is pure Persian cat, the other 2 are common breed, and we faced those problems first with our Persian cat, since usually they're very picky kind of cats. But when we started seeing some major hair loss, non-stop appetite, we thought our cats are just being, well cats. But when the vomiting started, that's when we realized it wasn't just a typical cat behavior, especially that we had cats all of our lives, and our current cats have been with us since 2009, so we could say we know pretty much about feline's attitudes... So this is a very bad experience within your products and we will not purchase it anymore, nor recommend it. Even if I see someone purchasing it, I will gladly share my negative experience.

I've been giving my cats (4) Temptations Treats for a couple years now and all of a sudden this week I had to take 2 of them to the vets. One went to the ER Vet first, both were impacted. Now I have a third one acting strangely. I thought it might be the Blue Buffalo chicken or beef flavored food (New bags opened 2 weeks ago - I always give them two flavor choices for free feeding) but now that I've found this site it could be the treats too. They haven't wanted to eat them the last few days and they are also in a new container just opened about 2 weeks ago. This isn't good at all.

I have been feeding my cat Whiskas and have had no problems. I even give her the Temptations Treats and have had no problems but I give them to her rarely. I came across this site by accident and started reading the comments and I'm horrified by what I have been reading about the Temptations Treats. I have 2 packs of this left and I'm throwing them out. Not going to take a chance and poison my cat. I remember a few years ago when there was a pet food recall because the pet food companies were getting one of the ingredients from China. If I remember it was the gluten. I'm pretty sure that is what killed my last cat since we were feeding her Fancy Feast and that was one of the foods on recall. China has little if no standards so why do companies buy from them? It's gotten to the point you don't know what is good and what isn't. Any food that poisons your pet should not be on the market, so why is it?

Trying to figure out why my cat was sick during a period. Whiskas fish packets - last one held off a few days - 1 packet brought it all back up and what a stench. Whiskas normal - appears to be okay. NEVER THE FISH AGAIN. Serious sickness and persistent. Thought my cat was dying. Don't like my review... don't serve bad food.

My husband and I had to rush our 12 year old female kitty to the Animal Medical Center Emergency Room at 5PM on Tuesday, November 22nd because of violent vomiting and heaving. This was the second day that she had been doing this. I had spoken to the vet Day 1, but giving her an antacid did no good. We took her in, they x-rayed her, found no blockage but she was extremely dehydrated and the bill was 604.00. Today, her brother has the same thing. I bought a plastic container of Temptations MixUps and I started offering them to my kitties three days ago. That is the only different thing they have ingested. The hospital suspected that was the problem. I think they are tainted. They even smell strange.

Why would anyone pack food in pouches instead of in cans? These pouches cannot be resealed, and the food is so moist that it is REALLY messy to serve from the pouch. It is a nuisance to store and a hassle to feed. My cats like it fairly well, but I won't buy food that is so messy to deal with. Join the rest of the world and pack your food in cans!

Yesterday we had to put down our three year old siamese. Vet said she had become either constipated or there could have been a blockage that had formed in her upper intestine, or both (not passing stools due to the blockage). She was vomiting her food and losing weight for two weeks. Her energy level plummeted fast the last three days. I think she stopped drinking water as well and made no use of the litter box. I was reading up on siamese cats when I came across this link to the treats and other stories, and I'm sad because she was a huge fan of the beef temptation treats. She had them daily for the last year or so, with a significant increase the last few months because she opted for the treats over her normal food most of the time.

I have 2 6month old kittens and they loved their kitten milk until you decided to change it! They will not drink it at all now and I myself can see the change. It always looked creamy before and a thicker consistency. It now is white and pours just like milk. I have bought this in bulk and now have 30 bottles that are useless to me. Can you tell me why you have decided to change the ingredients please? My kittens are not getting the nutrients as they were before and now won't drink it at all. They loved it before!

OK, so recently we purchased a Whiskas food pouch from our local shop. The pouch was intact completely and in date. On opening it, it was just pure mush, no way was I feeding it to my cat. On closer inspection it was riddled with dead but still fresh maggots!!! So I sealed it all up in bags, took pics ready to send to Purina. They weren't interested and just asked to send pics, as I did. The final reply I got from them was packaging sometimes gets damaged on route from the factory to consumer which attracts flies, etc. However as I stated to them the pouch was fully intact and not damaged... But they did send me a 3 compo voucher. LOL.

I started feeding my kittens/cats temptations about 2 months ago, today I noticed diarrhea in litterbox and also cat throw up sometimes. I went to read reviews on these treats and saw all the folks who have had to put their cats down because of renal failure. I'm so glad I did this. I hope I caught this in time, would hate to loose my babies. Don't feed your cats temptations. I usually have been buying tuna flavor.

Our 13 year indoor only Calico Kitty was a very healthy, vibrant and active cat. She was never heavy and hardly ever had any health issues. We fed her Iams and Science Diet cat food and usually gave her party mix Friskies treats for her treat fix. Every once in a while, we would treat her to a can of wet food but not very often. Recently, mid-Sept. or so, we bought a bag of Temptations cat treats. She probably had all total a couple of handfuls of the treats. I remember seeing a random article about a recall of those treats so I threw the rest of the bag away and didn't think anything further.

My 5 yr old cat which seemed lively and healthy was put to sleep due to the vet stating that it was in fast down slope of health. Indoor cat, finicky about what it ate. Doctor said renal failure. Lymphoma, antifreeze or (shoulder shrug). Dr. before tests said kidney issues. The time from which I saw a night and day difference in my cats ability to cognitively know anything about its surroundings or awareness was the moment I fed him temptations treats. I mean the timeline of his zombie like appearance (which was ONLY three days) lined up with when I started giving him the treats.

Has anyone had trouble feeding your cats Whiskas Wet Tray food? I fed mine a tray of the beef dinner and now he is throwing up, just lying around the house with little or no energy. He has no interest in the "red dot" which is totally unusual for him.

About two months ago we purchased the Temptations Catnip flavored treats for our 6 year old cat Salem. He absolutely loved them, so we got the bigger container. About a week later he began to drastically lose weight and became jaundice. We immediately stopped giving him the treats since that was the only change in his diet and began working to get his weight back but he never recovered and he finally succumbed this past weekend. I wish I had read all of these complaints before purchasing this product. He was my emotional needs pet and he is not replaceable.

I brought home my new kitty Lolita last Friday. It is now one week later. I have been feeding her exactly what the rescue fed her and gave her roundworm treatment last Saturday, tapeworm treatment on Tuesday. A vet visit on Monday said she was very healthy and perfectly fine, also that giving the two worm treatments so close was no problem. Then I gave Lolita Temptations treats from a sample given to me. Lolita loved them! I gave her the sample bag over three days and then stopped. Yesterday I opened a new bigger bag of Temptations from the store and gave her three (only three). This morning her has diarrhea. The treats are the only thing I have given her that was different. Have thrown the bags I bought out already. She seems fine other than the diarrhea, I will be watching her closely though.

At one time my parents had 3 healthy male tabby cats; one (Doc -age 5,) the other (Banjo - age 9) and (Little Guy - age 7.) Doc was a stray cat I found when I still lived with my parents growing up and brought home when he was a kitten. Banjo and Little Guy were purchased at a pet store. Banjo and Doc were two of the best pets I've ever had, but especially Doc. He was my best buddy through some tough times for me when a girl I was going to get engaged to broke up with me and my Dad losing his business. Doc was much like a dog in the way that he loved contact with humans and needed to be sitting on or near you at all times.

I received a Temptations Tasty Chicken Flavor sample at Sam's Club kiosk around a month ago. One of my cats wouldn't touch it. The second cat loved it but he threw up what he ate overnight several weeks ago. Other than that he was fine. Then last Wednesday/Thursday I gave him the remaining 6-7 treats, which was within the feeding guidelines. Within 24 hours he was lethargic and his urine had a dark yellow/brown color. I didn't make the connection to this product and found this website documenting all the cases of acute renal failure and illnesses here when it was too late.

I always buy my Bengal cat top quality cat food and treats. Only made in the USA with no anomaly by product or chemicals. For some unknown reason I bought him Whiskas Temptations Salmon flavor treats from Ralph's. I gave him 4 pieces. He was hesitant but he ate them. In less then 10 minutes he threw them up and continued to throw up for 1 hour. He is now lethargic and falling asleep. If he dies I will kill this company. Horrible.

My cat used to be huge and beautiful... full of life. He loved Temptation chicken treats. His first started falling out and lost weight. He became lethargic and almost lifeless. We took him to the vet and since we've STOPPED giving him these treats he is 100% better. I will never give him these again!!

We just returned from a trip to Canada and when packing my two cats' usual food, I forgot their treats. I purchased Whiskas Temptations in a supermarket as the package said "all natural". They threw up for hours - both of them - and these are cats that will eat almost anything and never get sick other than an occasional hairball. They then were lethargic and had no appetite for an entire day. We were in our motor home where they have traveled with us many times and in over 3 years nothing like this has ever happened. They were perfectly fine before they ate the Temptations, and I gave each cat only 4 tiny pieces. The vomiting started within a half hour, maybe even less. After 36 hours they are no longer sick and they finally ate a tiny bit of vet prescribed ID diet a short time ago and seem to be holding that down OK. I only hope there is no long lasting effect. I strongly urge everyone NOT to buy this food.

Whiskas have changed the recipe for their biscuits. They don't say as much but they appear to be the same as the Whiskas Temptation Treats. My cat was continually being sick when I gave her the treats and it took me ages to realise that it was the biscuits causing the problems. I have always given her Whiskas biscuits and other products. I didn't take any notice of the packaging for the new biscuits, but shortly after starting to give them to her, she was being sick every day. I cut everything out of her diet that I had been giving her and gradually re-introduced things one at a time for a few days. That's how I realised that it was definitely the biscuits causing the problems. I don't know what Whiskas have put into them, but I would not recommend them to anyone. I feel it's about time that Whiskas started to look at why their products are making so many cats ill.

My daughter had a pet Persian cat, light beige in color, that was so fluffy and big in size that it was sometimes mistaken for a dog, and was so gentle with children that even if they accidentally stepped on its tail and hurt it, it still wouldn't scratch them. Its food was Whiskas, so we always had that cat food in stock. The cat suddenly fell sick one day and couldn't be revived by the vet, due perhaps to accumulated fur ball in its stomach, but there are those who say that a cat's kidneys can give out from chemicals it has consumed. Too bad 'cause there was a heartbroken schoolgirl who lost her beloved pet.

About two months ago I gave Temptations Treats to two of my rescued cats. They were brothers and 15 years old. I had them since they were 5 months old. About four days after eating the treats they both started vomiting, stopped eating and had diarrhea. My third cat who doesn't like the treats was and is doing just fine. I took them to my vet for blood work and an exam. It was determined that they had symptoms of salmonella and were in renal failure. I was given antibiotics for both cats, special food, and anti-nausea injections to be used as needed. They both seem to get better after about a week. A week later all of the symptoms started again. This went back-and-forth for two months. Ben died first and fairly quickly. Lewis gradually got thinner and thinner and I had to put him to rest 2 weeks ago.

I have purchased and fed Temptations Cat Treats to my cats for years. They love them, so I was happy to purchase. Recently one of my 4 cats began to act erratic. Tearing out hair, licking metal window sills, and scratching like crazy. I checked for fleas. There were none. She was a stray I took in about 15 years ago, an indoor cat strictly. I never saw old age symptoms like this so I was stumped.

My girlfriend has the cutest ginger cat that she affectionately named Owange, and whenever I visited her, I always made it a point to go to a grocery first to buy her cat a pack of Whiskas Seafood Cocktail. Her cat absolutely loves it. We've been feeding it to Owange ever since he was a little kitten, and he grew up with a very nice coat of fur because of it. He's also very healthy and has never had any health problems. We've tried the other Whiskas variations and though her cat likes them all, he could always tell whenever it was Seafood Cocktail that we were feeding him. Heck, sometimes the moment we enter the house, it almost seemed like he could tell we had a pack of Whiskas on us.

A friend took me to the Humane Society 3 years ago to adopt a cat after I lost my cat Tom with a heart condition. I brought home Allie who was approx. 6 years old. She was feral and seemed to have been abused. It took me time and love to get her to the point she was today. She became loving, trusting and had a routine for both of us. She slept under the covers with me and loved to keep warm. We became so close and bonded in so many ways. Note: I have given her temptation treats in the past, but that was then and this is now. About a month ago Allie started to beg for these treats. She had never done this before, so I kept buying them and giving them to her.

I have read many reviews from people thinking this treat caused their cats problems. Now, I am not saying that some are not legit, cats develop allergies just like people. But my husband and I have been taking in stray cats and kittens for 30+ years, dumped on us by people who treat them like garbage. Many of the problems I read are explainable, or should be by a vet, like the skin bumps, I have a couple of cats that develop these every year. I take them to my vet, she gives them a shot, the bumps go away. Kidney problems, lethargy could be many things.. diabetes? I have a diabetic cat, has nothing to do with treats. Have been giving these treats for years, my cats absolutely love them, and will continue to get them unless someone who knows what they are talking about says otherwise. Don't blame this product if you don't know for sure... see your vet for all animal health problems.

It hurts my heart reading these reviews as it has been a week since my fur baby took his last breath. I was giving my little man these treats every day as well. Until Friday May 20th 2016 when he became really ill. He was fine, healthy, pouncy. Then all the sudden not. He vomited a little (something new), curled up in a ball on the tile floor, got up, went to the litter box, came out tracking blood, and then I saw it. A puddle of blood where he had been laying.

I've read quite a few of the complaints about Temptations. The problem I'm having is not stomach problems, but a skin allergy (?) on one cat and I haven't seen anyone mention it. He is a fixed, about 2 year old gray tabby, Jackson. He has bumps around his neck, one on the top of his head and now coming up on his face. The itching and scratching are driving him crazy.

Within the past month my healthy, playful 8 month old kitten began vomiting repeatedly. After much thought I finally realized the only thing that had changed in his diet was the addition of Temptations Catnip treats. He loved them. Would come running when I shook the bag. I had been giving him other flavors with no issues. Only the catnip was new. After googling catnip treats I found this site. I immediately threw out all the treats. JP has not thrown up for several days. His behavior is back to normal. So glad I found this site since it verified my suspicions. And now my little guy seems to be okay. Temptations treats need to be removed from the market. Too many pet owners have had issues with them.

My 1.5-year old female cat has thrown up ANY and EVERY time I have given her these treats. I spoil her and buy her different types of treats to switch it up but she seems to like Temptations the least. She does not get excited for them once she smells them, but will still eat them. I have just now figured out that she has thrown up any time she has eaten these treats. I can't believe that these are still being sold to the public. I can't even imagine what I would do if I lost my little one because of something I fed her. I will be filing a complaint with the FDA as someone on here advised and will never give these treats to her again.

My cat is six years old and has been very healthy until recently when I had a general check up with routine blood tests. The blood test came back showing hypercalcemia which is a high amount of calcium in the blood. Generally when this happens in dogs or cats it is indicator of a parathyroid disease or cancer, in particular with dogs. With cats however it can be harder to make a diagnosis without further expensive blood tests on the parathyroid. The veterinarian kept asking me if I had been supplementing my cat with vitamin D and I kept replying no I had not been giving my cat any extra vitamins. We've had the blood test for blood calcium levels done three times and each time her test was above normal, but not as high as would indicate a serious condition to look for, but definitely above a normal level.

My cat was healthy and normal until a friend suggested I try these treats for her. She loved them. Now about 6 months later I'm in tears because I'm very sure she has kidney problems. I find out the blood test results tomorrow but she shows all the symptoms of kidneys failing. She stopped drinking. She's peeing a lot. Not eating. She's lethargic. I wondered why she started drinking so much water over the past while...now I know. These "treats" dehydrate cats.

At seven months old and within three days little Munchkin suddenly went from being a typically active, healthy kitten to lethargic, respiratory problems, and death. What was different a couple days before this? Giving him and my other cats Whiskas Temptations Treats! Now I am watching the others very closely because digging a grave for a sweet little furbaby sucks beyond belief!

Tonight I was very alarmed when my 5 year old cat started vomiting. She was so sick that she continuously threw up for about an hour -- she had vomited up the entire contents of her stomach and yet was still dry heaving. I tried to recount what she had eaten in hopes of figuring out what had caused this. Everything that she had eaten was typical for her, except her cat treats. Today I had given her a new cat treat, Whiskas Temptations Beef Flavored treats. This was the first time she had eaten these treats and she got sick about an hour after eating them. Thankfully she now appears to be doing better, but I will definitely not chance it by giving her any more of those treats.

I have only just heard about the apparent risk to cats concerning Whiskers Temptations. I also found all of the other cat owners experiences very upsetting. Some ranging from cats vomiting and becoming lethargic, to even death. I have read many reviews, and I also find it way too common an occurrence to just be coincidence. Vets have even confirmed it is food related (the food being the Whiskers Temptations given). Then the owner has been able to trace it back to the Temptations. I would like to know, (as a cat owner myself), why I have just found out about the risks. I only found out because someone shared a post online. It may be that these terrible cases are confined to cats that are very unlucky to maybe be allergic. But even one cat is too many, and it seems to me that the Whiskers company/Mars are more interested in profit - hence there being no warnings or recalls in the shops.

Temptations treat commercial. Are you kidding me with your commercial. It's cruel. Why don't I toss some treats in the air to you, leap for them and see how you like it.

I bought Temptations Cat Treats about a month ago. I always check the date on it and it doesn't expire until 04/29/2017. However, every time I give her the treats, she would get so sick and ill.. I only gave 4 treats each time until I realized it was the treats that got her sick. She would spend almost an hour of throwing up each time. So I stop giving her the treats. And from what I read, a lot of people has had similar issues with the treats. If anything ever happens to my cat who I had for 11 years, I will not be so happy. I will be going to corporate on this cause she is my baby and I love that cat dearly.

Hi. In response to the reviews I have been feeding my baby girls Whiskas Cat Food in the plastic containers for a couple of years now with no problems. The only treats they will eat are the catnip flavor dental greenies but, I am going to keep a close eye on them.

My cat got sick with a skin condition a few weeks ago and had a large mottled bald patch on her back. She's had this before on exactly the same place, to the left of her spine, but never this bad. I took her to the vet in 2009 thinking she had a burn or an infection but the vet could find nothing wrong with her. She cleared up shortly after but occasionally gets a bald strip on exactly that same spot. I figured she was crawling under something and getting a scratch but there was no blood or injury of any kind just a bald strip. When she got sick this time it started with a long bald strip, maybe 3 inches long and half a centimetre wide. Within a couple days it was 10 inches long and 2 inches wide of irregular bald patches with weak hair tufts left behind that had white tips on them. She was not scratching or licking at the area at all.

I have just returned from the vets with my British Shorthair Cooper. Since getting my beloved Cooper a year and a half ago he hasn't been fed treats of any sorts. Then a couple of days ago I noticed there was a packet of Whiskas Temptations in the cupboard which a family member had purchased him for his Christmas. I checked to see if they were in date, which they were and proceeded to give him a few. He seemed to love them, nearly taking my hand off for them! The next day I noticed he was a bit lethargic compared with normal and he started to wrench as if he was going to be sick. This was highly unusual as Cooper had not been sick ever before! The next day however I gave him more Temptations as he seemed a wee bit better. HUGE MISTAKE! Within an hour (about 10pm) he threw up and this time there was a lot of sick!

My cat is 8 months old. We hardly ever give him treats and only feed him dry cat food (Blue Buffalo). However since he's still new to the home and family we use treats to sometimes get him use to people. The last 2-3 months I've noticed he has gotten diarrhea and vomiting off/on but I thought it might be him getting use to the house or being nervous. But the last 2-3 weeks we've given him more treats and he has been more sick than ever and that it has to be an external variable because I have changed nothing in his routine.

I've never purchased Whiskas, but my son gave me a box of these when it made his cat sick. I fed it to our 16 yr old cat and likewise, she got very sick, throwing up everywhere and staining our carpet. Our dog got into an unopened bag during the night, and he too threw up everywhere. I'll never buy this product. Can't even be safe, let alone healthy for your cat.

My cat is 9 years old. She never had any treats of any kind (she wasn't interested) until about 2.5 years ago. I gave her Temptations and she has begged for them ever since. For the past few weeks, whenever I give her a few of them, she pukes. When I started suspecting it was due to the treats, I started paying close attention to it and even if I give her just one, she makes that "I am going to puke" noise...that kitty gag sound. She is fine when she eats her regular cat food. Now after reading all these comments I am scared that she may be permanently damaged by this! Is there nothing we can do to get these things off the shelves? This is unbelievable. I will be pursuing this further. Whiskas if you hurt my cat there WILL be repercussions!

I bought a pack of Chicken Temptation Treats for my cats. After eating them they started throwing up. One of my cats was really sick at 2 years old. Took him to the vet, he had a blockage, was given IV fluids and a catheter, died at the vets. They said most likely food he had eaten. He never had a problem like this before. I have been so sad I bought these treats for him. Does anyone want to sue the company?

I was in the midst of planning to contact the MARS Canada Inc. company in Bolton, Ontario, the maker of the Temptations Treats here, in follow-up to a previous conversation with them on March 15th. Prior to doing so, I thought that I would quickly Google complaints about this product to see if anyone else has had similar problems. I am both shocked and saddened by the stories on this site.

I fed my cats these treats every day, a couple times a day. He loved them and we played by tossing them around and playing hockey with them (his name was Henrik, after Henrik Lundqvist, the New York Rangers goalie). He was only one year old and we found him dead on the kitchen floor. I spoke with my vet and she believed the cat had an unknown heart condition. I buried my cat. It was devastating. And tonight I read somewhere on Facebook about these treats being bad for cats. I am besides myself.

I just adopted a five year old cat from a shelter a month ago. The small bag of treats that were given to me to come home with was the yellow bag of Temptations. He loved and begged for them so much, I got more and he was given one a day, maybe two once a week. He wanted no part of any other treats, and my other cats had their own brand of treats so they never were given Temptations. Well, last night within 15 minutes my cat Frosty was in Pet Heaven! I was and still am sad, mad and shocked. After eating a very small amount of food, he vomited it up, went and found a play to go by himself. I sat on the floor with him to give him comfort but space too. When he tried to get up, he couldn't walk and kept falling.

Omg... one of my 2 cats was diagnosed with kidney disease about 6 months ago. Both are on special prescription diets (one on kidney care, the other on digestive care) but their vomiting / loose stools continue. But because they LIVED for their nightly treats of Temptations, I (foolishly) continued giving it to them. The guilt I now feel that I may have unknowingly made them sick by giving them Temptation treats is unbearable. Joseph of Alexandria, VA talked of a class action suit but don't know how to contact him. Is there currently one underway? I'm definitely interested.

We only buy these when there is extra money to do so. My cat has had seizures - 3 of them. Each after she has eaten a bag of these. At first I was thinking it's her old age. We do use Whiskas cat food. She only likes the classic and won't eat any of the other. She is 15 years old. I am sure the treats are to blame. They are too addicting. Purina one for sensitive systems. I won't buy them and I won't give them to her anymore. I don't get it. How could they do that to her. The other food was ok. She was doing ok. Now these treats. I will bring them to the vet if we have to.

I have a 10 year old cat who I have been feeding Whiskas Temptations treats to almost daily for several years. To date, there has never been an issue -- until last Thursday. I usually give my cat a few treats before I leave for work as a "parting gift". On Thursday, I noticed she had vomited up her breakfast, which is highly unusual for her. Now, my mom's cat has long hair and is a "barfy cat" - always bringing up hairballs and whatnot, but mine, however, NEVER vomits. I attributed it to her having eaten her food too fast, but still found it odd.

I've been reading the reviews about the Dentabites. First I wonder if people understand that older cats go into renal failure without eating these treats? Also they are not to be fed to kittens, only adults. I have an extremely picky cat. He is a sibling of the cats raised and trained for "Homeward Bound 2". Yes he is old. In fact he is 20 years old. He is in fantastic health, and gets 3X a year checkups. His only problem is he needs dental care. I've tried everything. The only thing that worked was the Dentabites. He has been eating them and other Whiskas flavors now for 10 years. Yes he sometimes up chunks, but it is usually a hairball. His mother had a bad thyroid problem that is signaled by a pet vomiting. I for one have not had a problem, and wish fervently that Dentabites would once more be available.

I read everyone's reviews about cats getting addicted to temptation cat treats. We started feeding them to our 11 month old cat about 2 weeks ago and then she stopped eating anything else but temptations. We tried every kind of food to help her get over the addiction, now she is in the vet hospital with liver failure, kidney failure and enlarged heart. We are hoping she makes it there tonight, we can't believe these treats haven't been pulled from the shelves especially since it's very obvious the related stories I'm reading especially recently are connected with these treats. I plan on pursuing a lawsuit or class action lawsuit against this company whether my baby makes it or not, this is murder! This company needs to be held responsible for poisoning our babies!

After writing my experience with my cat not wanting to eat the Temptations, I contacted the company. They had a very plausible response that maybe the Temptations were not stored appropriately at the store. They took down all of the pertinent information and will contact the vendor to ensure proper storage. They also sent me coupons for free packages. I think they made me and my cat whole and we will resume purchasing and feeding them to our cat.

Sad to see all the horror stories I'm reading about Temptations Dentabites. Haven't read close enough to see if all Temptations treats have caused bad reactions or just the Dentabites. I'm in the Mpls-St Paul area. I used to buy Dentabites in the store but they were getting harder to find, then non-existent. Started ordering online through various companies but now can't find them anywhere and perhaps all these complaints are why. I have to report, thankfully, all my eight cats are healthy and have not had any problems. A couple of my cats do barf from time to time but can't say for sure it's related to these treats. None have had to go to the vet or had funny stools. My cats have had these for years, maybe ten years, and been fine. Dentabites are the one treat they all agree on. They love them so it's too bad there obviously has been a problem with them. Must have been a few bad batches made.

Temptations MixUps Cat Treats - Catnip flavor - We have an older cat that suddenly began experiencing loose stools and is very lethargic - the only change is the new package of Temptation cat treats that we've been giving her for the past 4-5 days. I Googled and saw all the reports on these treats & wanted to add mine -- there is something definitely wrong with these treats! I'm taking her in to the vet today based on the other reviews.

My 16-year-old cat had gotten very ill recently and I had to take him to the vet to find out what was wrong. They did a complete blood panel and everything was good. My cat is very picky so I feed him a variety of foods. One was the Temptations. The vet suggested only feed him one type of food to figure out if it was food related. I did that and lo and behold, the Whiskas Temptations were the problem. Granted I just found out yesterday and had fed him some the night before. He's sick and lethargic, won't drink any water, loose stools, his stomach and throat are intermittently having spasms, and these were all the symptoms he had which sent us to the vet. I am giving him water through a syringe, the big kind, he spits some of it out, but at least he is getting some water.

Yesterday I came across a complaint on Facebook about Temptations cat treats. I tried researching it but found nothing proven that there was anything wrong with them. I have been using Temptations cat treats for many years with no problems. In the last month my cats have been refusing or vomiting them up. At first I thought they were just eating too fast. Two weeks ago I noticed one of my cats wasn't eating or drinking very much and losing weight. I took her to the vet where she received an IV to rehydrate her & blood tests were taken. We were given Amoxicillin & Nutri-Cal & have to force feed her baby food. Once she starts eating on her own she'll had to go on a special diet. She is in renal failure. My other cats are no longer active and are coughing (or dry vomiting). Some are coughing up white phlegm. Just as a precaution I've quit giving them these treats. Don't know yet if it's too late for my other cats.

I have contacted Whiskas before, getting no responses. It took a while but I am so glad I was able to wean my cat away from Temptations. There is something being put into those treats that are addictive and it is making cats sick, even killing some. My cat loved them, with me giving them to her at her request. I realized she was putting on too much weight too fast and started not giving them to her as often. She just went into mood changes and waking me through the night begging for them. No other treat would do it for her. There is something being put into the Temptations that make them addictive. Just like a human with caffeine or alcohol. Shame on you..!

My cats literally go crazy over these treats. But we noticed they would throw up quite a bit after the treats were given. I thought they ate too fast but now after reading about renal failure. I had a real issue with their food as well and started them on a higher quality of food. They do not eat as much of it and really don't care for it but they aren't throwing it up. I contacted that company and they just said to their knowledge they didn't have any bad bags. Done with this company.

I am in a group, and a cat rescue in New York posted the following: "We've got a serious issue going on here and we want to get the word out. 12 of our babies have been basically poisoned by Temptations cat treats. They are vomiting, and 2 of them have bloody stools. The vet said they are all in various stages of renal failure, but said thankfully because we're so diligent in watching them, that we caught it early and they should recover, although 2 of them may develop chronic renal failure as a result. We aren't out of the woods yet, but things seems to be looking up for all of them.

I have been buying Temptations for many years. I usually go through one large bag or one plastic container of them every single week. My cats usually whine and beg for Temptations every time someone walks into the kitchen. They usually eat every bite of what we give them... but something recently changed... over the past few months, they have stopped eating the Temptations. They whine and beg, get excited, then sniff them and walk away. My cats are sensing something in them that offends them in some way. Something has changed. Is it just an innocent ingredient change? Or is it something more sinister, as other commenters are implying? I'm not sure... but I won't be buying Temptations anymore. My cats are both very healthy and happy, and they are 4 & 12 years old. I would like to keep it that way. Has anyone sent the new Temptations out for testing to check for toxins and do a nutritional analysis?

Purchased these cat treats from PetSmart. Have been feeding for a few months. Cats loved them and were given treats frequently. They always cleaned their treat dishes clean and begged for more. However, cats started vomiting every time treats were given as a snack. Then I noticed bloody stools in litter box and blood stains where they had been sitting. One of the cats was vomiting so frequently and profusely he was taken to vet. He had lost considerable weight. Vet took a history of eating habits and food choices. He told me to d/c the treats immediately and gave cat supportive treatment. He said he had seen a number of cases where cats given these treats developed similar GI problems.

My cats have been eating Temptations for years. Now I can't find them as no one is carrying them, in the quantities I was used to. My cats haven't had Dentabites in several months and they love them. I have tried hundreds of other treats and they won't eat them, but at least bring back the Dentabites. They all hate fish and you guys must be pushing fish to the stores, because there are hundreds of kgs of fish and few of beef and chicken. Absolutely no Dentabites are to be found in all the stores, grocery stores, pet stores, big box stores and even dollar stores, that I've tried. Have you quit production on them?

I bought Temptations for my cats, hearing "if you shake the bag, they will come" - they do! Temptations are addictive, however it has given both cats uncontrollable watery stools. I will never buy them again.

There are complaints across the internet about this same product. Get a hold of me, we'll take the fight to them! Contact me **. Same problem as everyone. We purchased Whiskas(r) Temptations - Medley Flavor, 180g treats for cats, and it makes our cat barf.

My cats have been getting the Catnip Fever type of these treats for about two years now. They really liked them and would come running when I shook the bag. I noticed about two or three months ago it seems that the green treats in the bag had changed for a medium to light green color to a brownish green color. One of my cats started throwing up after she ate hers and I thought it was due to eating them so fast.

Whiska's cat food is one of severely limited pet food options here in Fiji. That's the only reason we've been feeding it to our ~14 month old cat for the last ten months or so. Recently he became severely ill, and our vet suspects that his Whiska's diet is to blame for the kidney problems he is having. He has been vomiting, lethargic, and not eating for three days now. He has been miserable and is currently in hospital. We were also told that the vet clinic sees a number of other animals with the same issues. Never buying this garbage again.

My cats appear to be quite fixated on these treats. None has become ill but one has been VERY vocal about my not offering him treats MORE. He keeps trying to open the containers himself. After reading these posts I'm wondering if ALL the treats are a problem or has it been only the Turkey treats? At this point I have had NO problem but I am worried because so many people have had... where there's smoke, there's fire... and I'd like to make sure I don't hurt my cats.

My cat, a three year old indoor girl, who has been healthy her entire life became extremely ill after eating a large number of Temptations Turkey flavored treats. On Thursday night/Friday she threw up to the point of bile after all the treats were gone. We were in the middle of a blizzard so I couldn't take her until the vet today. She is now extremely jaundiced, hospitalized on an IV and other supportive care. These treats must be toxic. She had no symptoms and was perfectly happy and healthy until after eating them. It says "made in Canada" on the bag but WHERE DID THE INGREDIENTS COME FROM? Who tests these things. Never again. There should be a recall. Pet owners, BEWARE!!! Purchased at Target. Lot #550E14TG1407:57 This is heartbreaking. I can only hope we can turn this around for her.

Temptation is harming my cat. He eat his food if we are asleep and he can’t get treats otherwise. Our lost cat used to howl for them! My cat just went through 3 weeks of antibiotics and they couldn’t tell me what was wrong with him. $500 later we’ve determine it was the treats. They are addictive to cats. Wish I could prove it and it is my goal to do so. We’ll sue. You guys are causing harm to cats. Do you also produce a methadone like substance I can give my cat? I can’t think after reading all of the negative reviews. What are you doing to cats? How? I’m finding a lawyer… P.S. The withdrawals are horrible…

Last August I adopted a healthy cat from my local Humane Society. Recently I opened up a bag of Temptations treats (turkey flavor) that were a Christmas gift for her from my second mom. By the time she got through 1/2 a bag she stopped eating/drinking. After 3 days of this she was rushed to the vet's office and they asked "what was new" that could have caused this. 2 things only: I switched from Nutro indoor cat w/ chicken and wild rice formula to just the Nutro Max chicken flavor and she had been eating Temptations treats. I am pretty SURE (500.00 later) that it was indeed tainted treats I was feeding my sweet little girl. The vet's office? They wanted to run "tests" which would have cost almost 500.00. As it was with 2 office visits, trips to the pet store I was am in shock for about 500.00 already.

I have 2 female cats. One is a 6-year-old Siamese and the other is a 1-year-old Domestic Shorthair. My roommate had been feeding the Siamese for months those "treats" when she started vomiting and becoming lethargic. We thought it was because she ate too fast. But I started giving my 1-year-old those treats and she threw them up the same day. Never before had she thrown anything up before. I stopped giving our cats those awful treats and they have not had a vomiting incident since! I feel awful for "rewarding" my cats for doing tricks with this poison. I've filed 2 complaints to the FDA. Please submit yours so these horrible products can be taken off our shelves. NO INNOCENT CAT/KITTEN SHOULD HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS.

I purchased these cat treats. I fed them to my cat, daughter's cat. Both caught worms. Stopped giving them these treats. Bought another kind. Didn't get worms. Just thought I'd let you know. I tried giving them to him from another packet from same big box. Caught worms again. Thanks.

I first adopted my cat in September at 6 months old and he will only eat wet food. I tried a few brands and at first fed him only Fancy Feast. I often would try to give him variety and ended up replacing the Fancy Feast with Whiskas because he seemed to really like it. After a couple of weeks eating just Whiskas cat food he started vomiting. Occasionally at first, but then it happened more frequently after a few days, and quickly escalated to 5 times one day and started including bile, and my kitty became severely dehydrated. I took him to the vet and he was given IV fluids and examined.

Our 8 year old indoor cat has been eating Temptation cat treats for years. In the last few weeks, she started to vomit every day and appeared lethargic and depressed. It was thanks to all the reviews here that we determined that it was the treats that were causing her harm. Thank you to everyone who posted comments. Our cat is more herself and appears to feel better once we stopped the treats. The vomiting has stopped. We hope that there has been no permanent damage to her system.

DO NOT FEED YOUR CAT THESE TREATS! I have had my cat for 13 years. She has always been a healthy cat. I started feeding her this product as a special treat and at first she loved them! Couldn't get enough. Over about a month period, I noticed she was acting a little differently. She seemed more lethargic, but I chalked it up to she is getting old. But then, last week, she suddenly stopped eating her regular food and would ONLY eat the treats. Now, she can't go to the bathroom, she barely drinks anything and she still won't eat anything but her treats. As of today, she is now hospitalized as they are working to get her unblocked. This food made her severely constipated and ill. My vet bill is so far totaling over $500! All because I fed her this treat.

Thanks to everyone who posted here. For some time I have been suspicious of these so called treats. Now I find many people with the same story. My cat definitely exhibits symptoms of addiction. I sincerely regret that I ever introduced my cat to them and will now attempt to wean her. This is absolutely criminal that a pet food company would stoop so low in order to extract money from pet owners. Shame on you Whiskas aka Mars Canada. I will definitely will be boycotting your products.

We have given our 10 year old female cat Temptations treats for over 3 years. There would be an occasional vomiting which we attributed to hair balls. We recently noticed daily vomiting, and lethargic behavior. Suspecting diet, we removed every current item from her diet and switched foods. After some experimentation we determined the bad actor is Temptations treats. I fed her two Temptation treats today to confirm the evidence. She vomited profusely within 20 minutes. I hope we haven't poisoned an intelligent and loving pet. In reading the various descriptions of similar or identical sickness and/or death, with no apparent response of MARS, I believe this issue may require legal action to get their attention. Let's send a message!

My cat BooBoo has been eating these treats for a couple of years. Right after Thanksgiving he got where he walked like he was drunk and quit eating. The emergency clinic said it looked like he had gotten into poison. The next morning I took him to my vet and they said the same thing then, called and ask if maybe he had gotten into my blood pressure meds. My answer is no. I can't prove it other than I still have the treats he was eating but, after reading what I have I think these treats were the cause and if they're selling these treats with the knowledge that the treats are hurting animals. I hope they rot in hell!! They don't know or care about the hurt and heartache their poison has caused!!!

I am not a veterinarian, nor a vet tech. I have had bad experiences with these treats. My last cat went into renal failure after being given Temptation treats of various flavors. He was an indoor-only cat all his life. My current cat has begun renal insufficiency after being fed these treats. Both cats behaved as though they were/are addicted to these food products.

After returning home from college this thanksgiving break, I realized how strange my beloved 10-year-old cat, Boots, was acting. He had become seemingly disoriented (dilated pupils), and would stare off into space with no detachment to reality. If a loud noise happen, instead of his usual surprise, he would remain unfazed. Boots would wake up from naps to excessively lick himself in an irritated manner. Then I noticed today and yesterday how he slept the majority of the day, and most of the night. These naps were a very deep sleep and he didn't wake up very easily.

Bought the bobble treat mouse. I knew from past Temptations made my cats sick but I figured the few that came with the mouse wouldn't hurt, I was planning on buying different treats for it. Well now my cat is deathly ill. Slept all day, puking, the whole bit. I already threw the 20 treats that came with it (or less) and I shouldn't have given him any. Damn this stuff is seriously bad. How could they keep selling it?

My 7 year old cat is obsessed with these treats, but after eliminating everything else they can be the only cause for his throwing up and crazy behavior. After only one day of not giving him any he has not thrown up once today. Yesterday was the first full day without them. I bought a bunch recently and am regretful. Wish I had come here first and will do so before considering a different treat brand in the future.

We have two Siamese cats who used to vomit because of Temptations treats. As an experiment, we decided to stop giving them Temptations for one month, and sure enough, they stopped vomiting for a month. To see if the vomiting was indeed connected with Temptations, today, we fed both cats a few pieces each, and lo and behold, they started vomiting a couple hours after being fed them. Not sure what they put into Temptations, but it can't be anything good.

There is no doubt that my 4 inside cats were/are addicted to the. But after going through changing diets and numerous vet visits we determined that the treats were indeed causing 3 cat to be vomiting all the time and my beautiful seal point Siamese has lost all her hair. We discontinued the treats and now her hair is gradually coming back but it is a totally different color. One spot will still not grow any hair and her tail also continues to be bare. Her neck mane use to be very thick and now there is barely any hair there. The other 3 have not been vomiting since we stopped them.

Last October 30, 2015, Friday, our family had lost a very special member, Maxwell. He was such a lovable and unforgettable four-legged companion who broke my heart into million pieces with his untimely death. He's just 4 years old. He got all veterinary care and considered on top of perfect health but after giving him the treats of chicken-flavored Whiskas Temptations, soft inside, crunchy outside, he went into seizure, gasping for air, tongue out, and died in just minutes after ingesting the treat.

It's a very affordable cat food and it leaves my cat's coat looking beautiful. My only issue with it is that it is not the best for weight management.

The food I buy is not expensive and is not great quality. The good cat food is ridiculously expensive and I can't afford it. It would be so wonderful to find cat food that has ingredients which are healthy for cats, not just fillers, that isn't exorbitant in cost.

My cats (2 of them, they died of old age in 2013) preferred Whiskas brand, as long as it wasn't a fish flavor, and pretty much wouldn't eat anything else. I had problems finding flavors that I would allow them to eat though. All but a few of their flavors contained gluten as a major ingredient, and I don't believe that is a proper food for cats as they are obligate carnivores and their digestive systems are not built for gluten. So I have mixed feelings about the product. On the one hand, my cats loved it, and it was not outrageously expensive, but on the other hand I had to scrutinize labels very carefully and hunt all over town for the varieties that my cats and I could agree on. Gluten should not be in a cat's diet. There are plenty of inexpensive alternatives of actual, real meat that they could use. I am not just on the anti-gluten bandwagon. I eat gluten myself, but I am not a cat. My digestive system can accommodate, theirs can't.

My two little guys Boo & Bobo loved Temptations cat treats. They could smell them a mile away. My husband called it "kitty crack". We would feed them around 8-10 treats a day if not they would cry! Until one day my little guy Bobo kept vomiting, he would not eat or drink! I started researching the treats and reading reviews so I stopped giving them treats, threw them away didn't look back. It took them a few days to forget about the treats but I switched to Pounce moist treats. Better reviews & no vomiting. They don't go crazy over them like the Temptations but they seem happier & healthier. Thank goodness for the reviews. Without them who knows what would of happened to my boys?

We bought our cats a treat dispenser mouse called, Snacky Mouse. It came with a small package of Temptation cat treats to put inside. I filled it up with the treats and was delighted when our cat began to play with the toy and eat the treats. After consuming about 7-8 treats, our cat began vomiting about 5-10 minutes later. He was suddenly and violently ill. He went from place to place, vomiting first the treats, some of which were whole, and then just liquid and bile, every few minutes for over two hours. He wouldn't drink water and looked miserable. He lay on the ground in our bathroom until early the next morning. He began drinking water and eating his regular food the next day so we didn't take him to the vet. We were lucky. I will never buy those treats or food from MARS petcare company again.

I've been giving my cats Temptations treats once a day for years. I occasionally give the green Dentabites, maybe three times a month. I don't use this as food. I give about 10-12 at a time. One of the cats gets Dentabites more often, as a bribe. It's Saturday at 7pm. Yesterday, Friday morning at around 7am, I gave all 8 cats Dentabites treats. We have 8 cats because neighbors refuse to spay & neuter, not because I'm a collector. All are indoor only. After treats they got canned food, and I noticed that they didn't finish it.

I've been feeding Whiskas Temptations to my cats for years. My 11-year old was healthy until one day she lost half of her body weight and within a matter of weeks, she died from kidney cancer. My 12-year old has chronic diarrhea and is losing weight. My vet tested her and found nothing unusual, but suspects it's something she's eating. After reading all these posts, I'm positive it's the Temptations. They are all on natural, grain free food. The only crap was the Temptations. It's like crack for cats, I knew better but gave in when they meowed for them. I am not going to risk the health of the rest of my cats. I feel so guilty, I just hope it's not too late for the rest. I will never buy these ever again!!!

I feed my cats Whiskas dry and wet food and the temptation cat treats. My poor babies didn't know any better, they smelled delicious to them. I didn't know! You knew all along you were poisoning our beloved companions... our family members and continue to produce and sell it!!! Now my kitty has kidney disease because your products cause crystallization in their kidneys and gives them kidney failure and kidney disease. You put slip in your pet food, it's nothing but poison! You have no remorse, no ethics, no compassion. You should be ashamed!!!

I just finish reading all the complaints about this product. I recently bought this for my cat Miss Kitty. We are not sure how old she is, maybe about 6 or 7. We found her and kept her. We had her for 3 years now. I just start giving her these treats about a week ago. She vomited once last night and I was very concern for her. I'm going to keep one eye on her and see what happens. If she vomits again I will not be giving her the Super Mega Savory Salmon again.

Lefty is only four years old and was VERY sick. She wouldn't eat or drink and was back and forth to the vet having every test under the sun. She was even tested for pancreatitis (sp?) but the test was off the charts so the vet suggested watching her and trying to keep her hydrated and feed her special food with probiotics added. She would not eat anything except the Temptations treats so, I fed her those. She continued to go downhill. Then I found this website and can't tell you how grateful I am to all of you.

The Mars brand Temptations cat treats have major side effects. I have been feeding my cats these treats on & off for a while and have noticed my 11-year-old cat with no previous health concerns had excessive vomiting. We took her to the vet & changed her food however I reintroduced the Temptations cat treats & almost immediately after only 3 treats she started to vomit excessively again. Her pupils were dilated, constant licking of paws, swallowing & General strange behaviour. My other cat was sleeping for longer & would go into a very deep sleep and was hard to wake. He has also had seizures in the past which could have been from the treats also. These treats are addictive & harmful to pets!

September 5, 2015 my husband and I went shopping and when we came home we found our cat dead on the kitchen floor with his head stuck in a 6.3 oz package of Temptations Treats. He somehow got the zipper lock bag opened, went in for a treat and could not get the bag off his head and he suffocated to death. I called the company making them aware of the hazard this bag is and I wrote a complaint that they said they would consider publishing in 5-7 days. Obviously, they did not think it was worth publishing because I have been on line and have not seen my appeal to them to change the package to either a box or a tube so the cats can't get their head stuck in the bag and suffocate. Our cat was only 7 years old and was in very good health.

These reports of cats dying from Temptations treats are very scary indeed. Is there any concrete proof that it was the treats that caused the cats' deaths? I give these to my cat. He sort of picks at them and doesn't really like them, but eventually he eats the few I give him. A friend at the gym lost her cat last week. She also points to these treats, so I called my vet. They said that there had been no reports of cats being poisoned by these and that some of their clients give these to their cats. I am concerned. Why isn't this being investigated?

I wish I had seen these reviews sooner. I fed my kitten these treats and had to have him put to sleep five days ago due to kidney failure.

I lost one my one year old cat last July from kidney failure. After thousands of dollars trying to save him he eventually died. The vet said he was poisoned. My cats never went outside so we were confused as to how our cat was poisoned. Now the last two months two more of my cats have come down with kidney disease. They just turned a year old last week. With numerous blood tests and special food and meds the vet now thinks it is the temptation treats they have been eating. Especially the salmon. My cats actually went through withdrawals from these treats. They are like a drug. Why these are still on the shelves I have no clue. Stop them immediately!

Whiskas Temptation Treats - I became very concerned about my cat's behavior when I give her these treats so I did a Google search to see if anyone else is having a problem. My cat is very demanding of them and won't eat anything else. She really misbehaves if she doesn't get them. She hasn't gotten sick yet, but I'm not taking any chances after reading the reviews here. I usually give Greenies Dental Treats which she likes and have kept her teeth clean, but now and again I've given her Temptations. There is a definite difference. She's not the same cat when she gets the Temptations. I just threw the whole bag into the trash. I don't recommend anyone buy these treats.

My cat who was always very health now has kidney disease and I think it may be due to Temptations. He loved eating them all the time and we gave it to him regularly. I think it may be the high % of protein but not sure. I just think it is best not to give any cats this product.

We have been giving our kittens (not even a year old yet) Temptation Chicken Treats. Just a few days ago the male started breathing strangely, took him to the vet. He never came home. The vet told us that he had blood and pus all around his heart and that his diaphragm was collapsed. The vet tried to help him, but he died. Now, today his sister after not wanting to eat her food this morning (which she never turns down) and listless also was breathing strange. Took her to the vet this morning, same symptoms. She too died. He said both kitty's had slow toxicity. These cats never vomited like others I read in reports on this site. They were slowly being poisoned with these treats which we had no idea about. We have lost two beautiful kitties because of these treats. Where can I go from here?

A few months ago I started giving my cat Temptation cat treats. Just like most reviews here, I started getting concerned that she was so very demanding of these treats and stopped eating anything but them. At first it was cute, then it became as if she was actually addicted to them, asking for them right after she would finish the ones I had given her, and not stopping until she got her way. And then came the refusal of her cat food. When I typed in the google search "Temptation Cat Treats addiction" I was kinda joking. Only to see that I'm not alone here in my concerns that there is something put into these treats that makes monsters out of our pets. I am lucky to say as of now I can't see any medical issues but I will be taking her in soon. HOW DO WE REMOVE THESE FROM THE SHELVES?!

Two of our beloved and otherwise healthy cats of ages 10 and 1yrs old died within a month of each other. We have reasonable suspicion that the Whiskas Temptations (wild salmon flavor in particular) is at fault for their deaths. PLEASE DON'T BUY THESE TREATS, they are deadly and I am seeking action against this company. Please let me know if you or anyone you know would like to states their case.

My cat is addicted to these treats. He had been sick lately and I didn't know what was wrong so out of curiosity I researched and found so many complaints. My problem is he is addicted. He begs constantly. Any advice on how to slowly stop this!? I'm afraid to go cold turkey because he gets depressed. Thanks so much.

My cat loved Temptations. My vet diagnosed him with kidney disease and put him on wet food and said that he could still have treats. He loved Temptations, which I had given to him for years. I hadn't seen catnip flavored Temptations before, and I bought them as a treat. He had seizures and had to be put to sleep. It broke my heart and I am still so sad and so upset with myself for giving him Temptations.

Have used Temptations cat treats in the past without issue. Have had trouble finding the other regular brand I have been using and bought a bag of chicken-flavored dental treats 2 days ago. Both times within 15-20 minutes of giving them to my cat, he has thrown up significantly. We are stopping the use of them immediately. These have a best by date of 10/31/16. Called Pet Smart and reported it but they didn't have any information about this being recalled. I think I will report it on FDA website as others have recommended.

I would not recommend these to anyone. Our cat who has been perfectly healthy for 6 years is now throwing up blood, not eating or drinking, and has diarrhea. Now, after a 260.00 vet bill she is getting worse, and barely moving around with her tail tucked in. I predict some very angry customers over this company being irresponsible, and careless by not recalling this product just to make an extra buck. I will never purchase anything from them again!

My 10 year old cat developed a complete anorexia after a minor surgical procedure. Nothing worked, not even appetite stimulant, which made him crazy. I tried every food to tempt him with, expensive good foods, cheap foods - nothing. Then I remembered Temptation Treats. He started eating, like a miracle. I gave him as many as he wanted, a whole handful or more. He recovered. He still gets plenty of Temptations - the Hairball Remedy, which he loves. No allergy, no vomiting, no kidney or liver problems; healthy happy cat. I "brought up" many cats in my life, they all received Temptation treats with no adverse effects, living long lives, one of them lived to 22. I think that every food has the potential for allergy in certain cats and there always be those that had terrible experience with a product. As for my cats, I never had any problems with Temptation and will continue to offer it to my cat.

Temptation Cat Treats - My two cats just turned 1 years old. I had been giving them treats for months. But I recently started to notice that they would eat anything plastic and throw up undigested treats. They also stopped eating their food. I am so glad I found this information. Now I wonder if the treats killed my other two cats that I gave treats to by the handfuls. They also threw up often and unfortunately developed stomach ulcers. I informed my Vet that if anyone brings in a cat that is throwing up to be sure to ask if the cat is fed Temptation cat treats. I've stopped the treats -- no more vomiting and they are back to eating their food!

Been feeding my cats Whiskas cat food for years and years! Only then to find out that my cat had stage 4 kidney disease very quickly and died at just age 10 which was heartbreaking. The vet said she was very dehydrated and could be from the food (I was feeding her both wet and dry). Then a year later my other cat aged 8 got diagnosed with kidney disease and also had to have 4 teeth removed from all the tartar from the cat food it contains. I will never feed my cats this food again.

So I have had my cat for over two years now. My mom recently started buying those Whiskas Temptations cat treats for him. My cat (Oliver) was really skinny when we found him but now he's SUPER fat. It's because of those treats. The first thing Oliver does when he goes downstairs is beg my mom for treats. She gives in every time and she gives him about 15. She gives him more every time he begs. It's starting to get out of hand and I've tried to talk to her about it but she says, "Don't argue with me." I even hid the treats from her but she just bought more.

My two very healthy indoor cats (8 and 9 years old) have been loving Temptations for many years without any problems until last week when I gave them treats from a new pack. I started finding vomit and after 3 days figured out it was the Temptations treats. There was blood in the vomit which was alarming so I started searching and found this web site. I will be reporting this to the FDA through the safety reporting portal, as someone suggested in their comments. The treats I have are chicken flavor, soft inside and crunchy outside in the 16 oz stay fresh pack. Lot number 518B24TGA218:59 BEST BY 07 26 16. Please take the time to report your experience with this problem.

My cat became addicted to Temptations about a year ago. She would eat NOTHING ELSE. She was at the vets two weeks ago and was healthy. I bought her Temptations from Walmart last week. Upon one helping she started vomiting all over the house. She's never done that before. I told my husband I suspected the food was tainted. I bought her another pack of Temptations at a different store, as she would eat nothing else. Same reaction. As soon as she ate them she started vomiting all over the place. I believe Temptations killed my perfectly healthy five year old cat.

I had two male cats who were healthy until the time I introduced them to Temptations Treats. BOTH got kidney failure and one also got an inoperable stomach tumor. There was more meowing, and one vomited often. I didn't realize it was the treats but looking back, I wish I had seen the connection sooner that it started after the treats. After looking at the ingredients I decided to search and see if anybody else experienced the same with their cats. Both had to be euthanized within a year of each other and they (and I) suffered very much until the end. Please, listen to the reviews and do not give your pets these treats. Be careful of any pet food with by-products or any of these horrible preservatives that I read on the packaging.

My mother has two cats - both seniors. They have both been eating Whiskas soft food and Temptations treats for a while. One has been vomiting the food up while she doesn't vomit any other kind of food up. The male has developed a serious kidney infection. And the only different just before that was the consumption of temptations treats! When will this dangerous stuff be taken off the market?

Two weeks ago, my wife bought the above referenced product as something special to give to our two perfectly healthy cats, ages 3 and 6 yrs. old. Within days, our oldest began showing symptoms of being extremely ill. We immediately took her to our vet who proceeded to do a blood work-up on her, and a general exam. She was very dehydrated and listless, while also refusing to eat. Her bodily functions were shutting down on her! After receiving the results from testing, he determined they were similar to being poisoned. That same day, the other cat began displaying identical symptoms.

Both our cats were throwing up. We started watching what we were giving them. They both had vet check ups were fine. We got a new package of food and also quit giving them treats. The new food was ok did not throw up. Then we introduced their treats back Temptations - crunchy outside soft inside. Well they both threw up again. The treats were not digested when they threw up. No other treat has ever caused this. This is the first bag we bought of this kind. I think you need to check into this. Thank you.

When I noticed the tumblers cat treats, in the store, I decided to try them as my cats enjoy the temptation treats. But two of my cats were wise enough not to eat them and the third that did was sick and vomiting for the three days. I gave them to her before I realized what was causing her illness. Once after I quit giving them to her and she had vomited it all up, she was alright. Now I am even afraid of the treats that I had been giving them before that.

I've been feeding my cat temptations for four years... by the handfuls! Now I'm scared. But we have never had a problem! I feel like I don't wanna chance it. Is there proof it's the treats??? Help.

I've had my female domestic short hair cat since she was 6 weeks old. She's now 14. I've given her all sorts of treats at noontime and she always reminds me when it's close to noon. The past week I've been giving her Temptations Chicken flavor and she's stopped eating her food. All she does is sit and beg for more treats. For the last 4 days she's ONLY eaten Temptations, even though I have four very healthy brands of dry cat food in bowls throughout the house. She's completely lost her appetite for her favorite cat foods and only wants Temptations. I'm pretty suspicious about the ingredients Mars uses and where they come from.

I first got my cat when he was 8 weeks old (2010) he ate Whiskas cat food, and treats for nearly 3 years before I had to change his food because he started vomiting constantly. To this day he has not stopped vomiting from whatever the food did to his intestines and organs, they are too damaged now. I feel that I should've read reviews on food when I got him but I didn't.

Temptation treats - Gave them to my cat about a year ago and at first nothing seemed wrong. Twice after giving him the treats he vomited. I thought nothing of it because he vomits hair balls although not too often. On the second vomit l was cleaning it up and noticed there were treats still wholly formed. My cat seems like he is addicted to these treats. They are like kitty CRACK. We are now weaning him off these treats because he will not eat any other food until he gets treats first.

I have 14 cats and they go through a lot of Whiskas Temptation Treats daily. One is old and very addicted to them and thinks they are his normal food. We go through several bags daily of treats and have never had a problem with any of our cats. Sure they get an occasional hairball, or the occasional vomit but usually it has other things in it and I have never seen treats in what I clean up. Several like to chew on plastic bags, ties or anything they can find and will upchuck that, mostly hair balls no matter how much I brush them. I have to put out a positive for these treats. Our cats have been eating them for 12 years and never have had a problem with them whatsoever. They are the ONLY treats my cats will eat. We have tried cheaper treats due to how many cats we have and how they BEG for them constantly. We give them more than they should have I am sure but they are all happy kitties with no health problems.

I am SOOOOO glad I came across this site. I bought Temptations cat treats for all 3 of my cats and decided to google Temptations cat treats just out of curiosity because my cats love them SO much that I thought it seemed abnormal. I was curious to see if anybody else had the same experience and I came across all these people talking about how deadly that the cat treats and also Whiskas cat food can be. I have only been giving these to them for about 2 months and I am never giving them to them again!! The only symptom that my cat seem to experience so far is that I did notice vomit on the floor a few times. I assumed it was a hairball and I'm not sure when during the day it happened or to what cat.

Have a foster cat that was never sick no matter what he eats. He ate these temptations and so did my other cat. Bought some recently in the big plastic boxes. He threw up one day. Gave more and this time was a really lot of mucus or foamy throw up. Hit me that these might be tainted. Please check for other ppl. I quit giving him them. It was really scary. Ty.

I bought these treats to give my cat, Jack, when he was taking antibiotics. I gave him one and then gave my other little one, Ninja, also. Not 5 minutes later she began vomiting. The next day, not realizing it was the treats, I gave Jack another treat and just like Ninja, he began vomiting. 3 days later, after a few vet visits, Jack is very slowly recovering, and Ninja is currently hospitalized. Both could not keep food down and subsequently stopped eating. Ninja is still not eating nor is she have any elimination as well. No pee or poop yet.

I'm sorry about everyone else experiences with this product but I haven't had any problems. I gave 3 to my 12 week old kittens and they are fine. I'm not going to give them anymore because I read many many stories on how their cats passed because of the treats.

I have a friend who said Treats have caused tooth decay so I searched and found this site. I have 14 cats. Seniors and kittens. I've always known Treats are addictive. I caution people not to start but I haven't seen any health issues. Vomiting yes but we always joked they are so yummy we are going to puke them up so we can eat more. They were the kitten's first solid food from mother's milk. Now I'm very worried. I feed science diet dry food and they all eat that as well but they beg for Treats in the morning and when I get home at night.

About four days ago, I gave my cat some Whiskas Temptations. She vomited a couple of times. I thought she was throwing up hairballs so I brushed her really well. The next day and the day after that, I gave her more treats. She vomited repeatedly. I have now stopped the treats, and she has not vomited since.

Temptations chicken flavor - My cat is dying. What can I do to save him? He was fine until I gave him your treats? He is 21 years old and in perfect health. After starting your treats he don't eat or drink. Losing weight fast, labored breathing, don't he has much longer. What can I do to counteract the poison?

I buy Temptations cat treats for my cat all the time. My cat loves them and never had a problem until today. I'm also boarding two other cats that love these treats as well. Today I bought two packages, and opened one. The cats came running as usual, but sniffed the treats and walked away, all three of them, so I figured maybe something was wrong with that bag. So I opened the second bag, and same thing occurred they walked away. I'm just happy they didn't eat them and get sick.

I gave my one-year old cat Temptations Cat Treats for the first time and within 5 minutes she started vomiting. She continued to vomit until there was nothing left in her stomach. Because she's an indoor cat and this was the first time I'd given her the treats, I associated the vomiting immediately with the treats. I re-sealed the package, threw it in the trash and took the trash to the outside can. I withheld her regular dry food for several hours, but made sure she had plenty of water available. After a couple of hours, and she seemed fine, so I gave her 1 tablespoon of food. She was fine for the rest of the night. The next morning, she also seemed okay, so I fed her about 2 tablespoons of dry food. She vomited it up almost immediately. I withheld food again for the rest of the day. She was fine that evening and has been okay since. I'll never feed her those treats again.

My husband and I have 7 Cats, ages ranging from 2 years to 16 years. 3 of our cats were given Whiskas Seafood Medley Treats as their bedtime snack 5 treats each. Those 3 cats have been throwing up, the throw up was the treats.

My cat is 10 years old and has been on Whiskas cat food his whole life. It has been the only food he can keep down. Up until recently that is. I bought 4 large bags of cat food and the first 2 were fine. But now I opened the 3rd bag and now it smells awful! Almost like burning plastic. So I opened the 4th bag and it too smells bad! I bought them awhile ago but I didn't realize it would go bad. It's stored in a dry space and was not opened until recently. My small dogs also eat this food. They have tried numerous different dog foods but they will not eat it and our vet said it's fine.

I have been feeding my cat Temptations Cat Treats - a product of Mars Petcare without any knowledge of what they were actually doing to her body and blood sugar. After noticing her urinating constantly and excessively I took her to the vet and her glucose level was 184, in cats the norm is ~150. The vet explained that it could be borderline diabetes in the beginning stages, and to monitor it over the next few weeks, as I did. Well call it intuition, a blessing from above, a hunch, whatever you want to... I immediately stopped feeding her the Temptation Cat Treats, which she actually went through slight withdraw I believe. I am not a medical doctor but she displayed WebMD signs of withdraw. I mean she has eaten the things for 10 years 3 times a day. So I don't disbelieve that she was.

My boyfriend and I were looking around for some treats that our kitty would enjoy. We decided to buy these, remembering that the place we adopted him from gave all their cats temptation cat treats. Our kitten is 3 months old so we would only give him a few treats here and there without him having any problems- that we knew of. This morning we decided he deserves a few after getting his kitty caps applied, but unfortunately they didn't settle well. It may have been the first time he threw up because he started crying and running for his litter box. It wasn't a normal cry either.

I started feeding my cats the temptations salmon flavor treats in October of 14. Fast forward to today, one is deceased due to renal failure/anemia and the other is very sick with renal failure/anemia. At the time, I didn't think the vomiting/sickness was attributed to these. I thought it was bad luck. After I stopped feeding my cat these last week he stopped throwing up and is eating normally and doing great. My vet thinks something in the treats was making them sick.

I have given my senior cat Whiskas Jelly cat food for years. Then the label changed with a new cat face. My cat wouldn't eat the product she has always loved and I thought surely it's not because she does not like the new cat on the label. On closer inspection it's not only the label that's changed but in fact the product. The old can used to have on, [made with real fish] the new can says [with special recipes]. The thing is my clever cat now knows it is different and I have the problem of her not wanting to eat it and looking at me with a sad face. Why has the recipe been changed? Is it a cheaper option? But my cat is being cheated and I will have to find another product which is a shame after all the loyalty I have given to Whiskas.

I recently bought Whiskas Temptations cat treats for my cat. I wanted to try something different for her. Soon after, her appetite decreased immensely. Not even eating half of what she would a day. Then she started vomiting. I put it together and realized it was the snacks. Stopped giving them to her, threw them out and no problems since, thank God. It was really scary how bad she was. I will NEVER give her their products ever again!

My male cat is 4 years and 9 months old. He has been very very healthy and active up until recently when I brought him to the vet because he was vomiting on a daily basis. A blood test concluded that he has kidney failure (a blood test done 3 months ago showed no signs of any issues so this was a very rapid progression). The two vets that I have visited kept encouraging me to tell them EVERYTHING he has eaten or anything he could have gotten into. They are convinced that it is something that he has eaten that is causing this because he is a very healthy indoor cat and is so young. I have been feeding my cat top brands except for Whiskas Temptations treats which he absolutely adores. Upon searching for any possible recalls I came across TONS of pet parents writing about these treats causing renal failure and wanted to share my story.

It seems a lot of people have had tragic consequences from their cats eating these treats and I am truly heartbroken for you all. I have 4 cats, but this really concerns the two oldest cats. Both will be 18 this year, both black, largely structured, formerly 20lbs each but not siblings. Zell had diabetes a few years back but now is cured. Monkey has hyperthyroidism and is just a shadow of his former self. I feed all of my cats grain-free dry cat food and grain-free wet cat food, along with Fancy Feast wet recommend by my vet. Monkey won't touch the dry food, won't eat a lot of the wet but will eat handfuls of Temptations treats. I am just desperately trying to keep him alive at just 6lbs with treats and medication. His blood work is fine except for the thyroid and occasional liver enzymes. He had fatty liver disease 8 years ago, which I nursed him through and after he gained his weight back, was attacked by two stray dogs who ripped him from belly to anus.

Having read some of the other horror stories, I thought I would put a positive spin to the product. We have 2 rescue cats that both have kidney failure and are on the same diet. This July will be our 5th anniversary with them. They are going on 19 and 18, so no spring chickens here. One is deaf and partially blind and the blindness seems to related to high blood pressure. Taking meds for HBP really helps. The problem is getting the pill in her. Can't mix it in wet food, she'll find it. So I thought I would try Temptations. I cut the treat in half, scoop out some of the filling, place the pill inside one half and cover with what I scooped out. She gets a pill twice a day so I prep the other half for the evening dose. She like the treat so well, she sort of inhales it without really chewing so the medication is delivered.

I too am very concerned about these treats. I lost my 4 yr cat Sat. My cats have been eating these treats for years. But I have been noticing lots of meowing, vomiting and Sat, my cat got very sick within a day and had kidney failure and I had to have her put to sleep. My other cats are also experiencing symptoms. I am throwing them all in the trash. I hope they will check for some bad batches.
