1. Tiki Cat® Crunchers Cat Treats Grain Free, High Protein
Chicken is the first ingredient in these crunchy cat treats made with dried pumpkin. Each treat has less than three calories, so you don't have to worry about overindulging your feline. Added salmon oil and flaxseed contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while the pumpkin aids digestion. If your cat is sensitive to pea flour, a legume, you may want to skip these chicken and pumpkin-flavored snacks.

Flaxseed—another pet-safe superfood—is also sprinkled in to promote digestive health and a lustrous coat. Several reviewers noted that they were pleasantly surprised by how much their picky eaters liked these healthy treats.

Plus, the soft texture of the bites makes them perfect for concealing a pill if your cat is on medication.
