Best cat treats for a cat sitter to give

Travelling regularly and needing a cat sitter to manage treats is a very specific situation — and honestly a smart one to think carefully about. Cats are notoriously fussy, and Sphynxes in particular tend to have strong opinions about what they'll accept. The best treats are strongly-scented and meat-based — cats reliably reject anything sweet or grain-heavy — and ideally high-protein with minimal additives. Individually wrapped portions are a great call for sitter use: they remove any guesswork about how much to give and keep things fresh. Does your Sphynx have any dietary restrictions or sensitivities I should know about, and is the sitter using treats mainly to bond with the cat or as part of a routine?

That context is really helpful — you're essentially using treats as a social tool, not a training one. That means palatability matters above everything else. If the cat doesn't go wild for them, the sitter won't be able to use them to build that connection. Is your Sphynx more of a crunchy treat cat or does she prefer something soft and moist? And does she tend to be motivated by smell, or is she one of those cats who seems indifferent until she actually tastes something?

Perfect — that tells me exactly what you need. Go with Temptations Creamy Purrrr-ée Cat Treats. They come in individually wrapped single-serve sachets, each one is a smooth meat purée that cats find irresistible, and the smell is strong enough that even an anxious cat will typically come and investigate. Each sachet is one portion, so the sitter just tears one open and either lets the cat lick it directly from the pouch or squeezes it onto a surface — no measuring, no mess, no ambiguity. They're made with real chicken or tuna, low in additives, and the format is genuinely foolproof for a non-cat person. Sphynxes tend to do very well with them because the texture suits cats who don't love hard treats. A multipack means you can leave a clear supply for however long you're away.

One sachet per interaction is a sensible guide — so if the sitter visits twice a day, one treat per visit keeps it special without overloading her diet. You can leave a note saying one pouch maximum per visit. Because they're individually wrapped, the sitter can't accidentally over-give, which is exactly the foolproof setup you're after. I'd also suggest having the sitter give the first one while you're still home, so your Sphynx already associates them with something positive before you leave.
