Cat treats were not the luxury treats you find today once upon a time. A few decades back, you might find people making basic handmade snacks. Back then, most likely, people were unaware that they would launch an entire business. Best cat treats currently run a vivid line between scientific wonders and gourmet nibbles.
Imagine this: someone is calling a day in a modest kitchen cooking some tuna with breadcrumbs in 1975. Pet stores began to feature commercial choices gradually, and cats were all for it—who wouldn’t want some variety? Treats with cheese flavors and other aromas added some pizzazz during the 1980s. Still, this was only the peace before the tempest.
Now entering the twenty-first century brings a flurry of invention. Cats were now eating for nutrition as much as for fun. These nibbles underwent a major makeover using richer foods including actual meat or even fish oils. The emphasis turned to quality—that is, since, let’s face it, spoilt dogs need the best.
The choices become not only larger but also more audacious. Treats claiming to improve oral health, assist with hairballs, or even enhance joint health would be displayed on an aisle walk-down. Is anyone else noticing the overlap between Fluffy’s snack drawer and what is in our cabinets? We do Omega-3 supplements, so right now… so do they!
Still, the developments did not stop here. Oh no, we live in the age where nutrition meets technology. Trying to create the paw-perfect food, researchers have experimented in everything from freeze-drying delicacies to protein powder exploitation. This is a gastronomic excursion with a sloshful of science fiction, not just any ordinary trip down the snack aisle.
Of course, amidst this wild evolution, humor creeps through. Remember that time you brought home a bag of top-tier treats only for Whiskers to sniff and walk away disinterested? Yup, they’re picky, but we love them for it.
