"I, honestly, wasn't expecting my cats to be nearly as interested in these treats as they were. As soon as I opened the bag, all three surrounded me and demanded a treat.

Bottom Line
These treats are a good option if your cat enjoys herbal health benefits. However, if your cat is picky, you might want to try a different treat. Consider offering these as high-value rewards rather than a daily treat. They smell good so chances are you cat will get cat curious but finally smelling good doesn't guarantee a sales hit ;) if your cat likes these treats, than good for both, if not then proceed to the basket selector.
