This is a specific conversation about Cat treats — what cats actually like — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.
Mostly just rewards and making her feel loved, honestly. She's been diagnosed with early-stage kidney disease so we're watching phosphorus and keeping things simple ingredient-wise.

For a senior cat with dental issues, Churu Lickable Treat Pouches by Inaba are the gold standard — pureed tuna or chicken in a squeezable tube, no chewing required, and cats go absolutely wild for them. They're also high-moisture which matters for kidney health in older cats.
If you want something more substantial, Sheba Meaty Tender Sticks are soft enough to gum apart without real teeth, and come in small portions so nothing goes to waste with a senior who may have a smaller appetite.
I'd start with Churu — the lickable format removes any chewing challenge entirely, and most senior cats find them irresistible.
