[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "If you want your cat to eat regular cat food ever again....do NOT get these treats! My cat will not stop begging for these treats! He's thoroughly addicted to them and rarely eats his regular cat food....not even wet food! He prefers these treats over anything else I give him and he will meow, whine, paw at your leg, jump on your lap, and if outside and you shake the plastic container.....he will come running from where ever he's at to get some of these treats.\n\nI use them when I want him to come inside the house. All I have to do is shake the container and in the distance, I'll hear things like dogs barking, things being knocked over, nails climbing up the backyard fence, and finally here he comes running at a full speed to get him his fix! His eyes dilated, tongue out, and drooling the whole way till he gets inside the house where I'm at with the container! Yea, my cat is a junkie for these things!\n\nI'm beginning to think the affection he gives me isn't really love....just him rubbing on my leg in an effort to guilt me into giving him these damn treats!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'So there was wine involved and a tub of cashews the same shape as the Temptations treats. I opened my cashew tub, or so I thought, and then bit through a flavorful crunch with a soft center. I immediately recognized this was definitely not my tub of cashews. I ran to the sink to rinse out my mouth, but honestly had a minute hesitation because of the bold flavor. My friends were all around trying to figure out my spitting in the sink and gargling my mouth out. Then it happened...someone noticed the cat treat container open. Through their cackling laughter I wasn’t sure if I should be horrified I ate cat treats or impressed by their flavor. I kind of get my cats obsession with them. You bite down on a nice crunch to a soft center filled with a bold meaty taste. I will never live this down and now my friends think it’s hilarious to put a snack bowl in front of me while visiting them filled with Temptations. It’s a weird feeling knowing why my cats are so addicted to them. My cats give them 5 stars and so do I.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I recently purchased the 30oz. Cat party sized container of Temptations chicken flavored cat treats on here via a daily lightning deal. (Seriously, love the prices!) I am not preparing my cat for an impending apocalypse. No, I'll be lucky if it lasts more than a few months. You see, Temptations have created some kind of kitty crack disguised as delicious treats for my furry friend, as now I fear my cat has a serious addiction and I unfortunately am her biggest enabler. She will hunt me down multiple times a day in search of her chicken flavored fix and I simply could not keep up with her insatiable demand. Thanks to Amazon for offering up a nice discount for bulk kitty treat purchases, as I fear I may have suffered serious injuries if I wasn't able to provide her treats on a regular basis. I am grateful I can go more than a couple of days now without having to run out to the store in order to advert a serious feline crisis of epic proportions. Amazon and Temptations, thank you for saving me and making my cat the happiest furball on the planet."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My 10 year old cat is not one for snacks and treats and he has a sensitive stomach so I only give him a treat once in a while and he's always meh about what I give him. I saw this mammoth canister of Temptations and I knew he kind of liked them because I had offered him some before. I took a chance and bought it. My cat loves loves loves these treats. I don't know what is in them but he goes wild when I give him some. And thankfully, they stay down. No throwing up from these treats.\n\nThe snacks are small and crunchy and don't have a funky smell. It is easy to overdue it with so many on the canister but I am careful to just give my cat three or four and he gobbles them up and wants more. (My Yorkie also made it clear that she likes these. I need to check and see if she can eat them safely.)\n\nThe price was good and these are making my older cat happy. Plus he needs to gain weight and these will help. He still eats his wet and dry food so they haven't spoiled his appetite for real cat food. Whatever they taste like, it must be good because my very chill cat perks up like a kitten when I give these treats to him. Definitely a good buy and I am happy my cat enjoys his treats."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I think the filling in the middle must be crack because my cats are obsessed. One of my cats needs to gain weight due to illness. After months of giving him prescription canned cat food adding these crack treats actually helped him gain some poundage. We are now going through 1 huge tub a week or something insane. He actually paws at my face in the middle of the night demanding I pour more treats. The things we do for cats.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'This product literally causes addiction. There are hundreds of reviews online from hundreds of other cat owners, many even report illness up to kindnry failure.\nMy personal experience is that my cat would no longer eat anything else. Nothing. Barely drinking water. Completely obsessed. Weird behavior and even getting aggressive, swiping at my legs for a treat. I had to cut her off completely, just like an addict. Oddest thing I’ve ever seen.\nThis has been reported to consumer reports etc and many people report similar issues.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have 5 cats, 3 outside, 2 inside. I have been buying this for years. I don't know why they are so addicting ( we call it kitty crack) I just shake the container and they come running!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "My three owner, Primrose, Booger, and Miss Piss love these treats almost to the point of addiction. All three love these treats nigh to the end of dependence.\n\nThe most surprising benefit I value of this product, this particular brand is the positive effect it has had on my daughter's rescue cat named Primrose. She came from a bad home and had severe confidence problems. Using correctly measured portions as this is a high-calorie treat, I found out feeding her the treats have been restoring her confidence, and one can hardly recognize her personality from the timid, abused, fragile kitty we rescued in 2014. I had no idea using a Cat food treat system could have this effect on an animal.\n\nI would not recommend these treats for cats struggling with weight issues. Each treat has just under two calories. I wouldn't feed Temptations treats to a cat with a severe case of tapeworms. It would be akin to trying to fill a colander with water.\n\nIt is a perfect product to put weight on a rescue kitty, to use to help a timid or abused cat recover from trauma, and it is a useful tool for bringing a cat into the fold. The only adverse side effect I can say would result from the use of this product is too much weight gain & the addition aspect. Oh, and one more suggestion, never, never, never fall asleep with the lid open on your bed, for obvious reasons. In my opinion, this is an excellent product, although, it is very pricey.\n\nI would suggest checking your local market before buying this online. You may be able to find this same size bottle for a much more reasonable price. Always keep an eye on Amazon for sales on this item. If there were not so far from town, I would purchase them from our local store as the price is almost to the penny, but I like the convenience of having them delivered to my doorstep each month. I give this product a five star and the seller I have purchased from multiple times is prompt, not made in China. Temptations is an import from Canada.\n\nP.S. The beautiful white cat with grey markings and blue eyes if my Fefe.

They are like Crack or something to cats.\n\nI have 2 cats and when they want their fix there is no stopping them. I have been woken up at 3 am with a cat tapping me on the cheek with his claws slightly out looking right at my eyes and when he sees me open my eyes he starts begging.\nI have gone out at 3am in the middle of winter to walmart to get them so I could get some peace and quiet and sleep the rest of the night.\nThe day before Thanksgiving,Amazon had the 30oz on sale for $10 which is $5 cheaper than walmart so I bought 6 jugs. which were delivered today.\nBlack Friday they had them for $5 with a limit of 5 so I bought 5 more. and had my friend with no cats buy on his account. They will deliver tomorrow Today I see they are $8 with no limit so I bought 5 more.\nSo in less than a week I have bought 21 of the 30oz jugs of freakin cat treats.\n\nOne of these days you will see a video of someones addicted cat out on the corner turning tricks for Temptations Treats,'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-1 review-rating', 'review_body': 'My cats became so addicted to these that they stopped eating their food and would wake me up throughout the night to get more. I had to wean them off like a narcotic. After they were "clean", they still wouldn\'t touch their food. My 15 lb cat now weighs 9 lbs. and my 12 lb cat weighs about 6 lbs. Since then, I started feeding them Tiki Cat canned food (best of the best by all reviews). I am spending over $250 per month on 2 cats, but they are eating again!'}]
