This is a specific conversation about Cat treats — what cats actually like — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Cats are notoriously fussy about treats — they tend to go for strongly-scented, meat-based options and will usually flat-out reject anything sweet or grain-heavy. The best ones are high-protein and low in additives. That said, for a cat with a tendency toward constipation, the treat itself becomes part of the health picture, not just a snack. I'd love to help you find something that actually works for her. Is she on a mainly dry food diet, and has a vet flagged the constipation as something to actively manage, or is it more of an occasional thing you're keeping an eye on?
She's mostly on dry kibble which I know probably doesn't help. The vet hasn't put her on anything specific, just said to try increasing moisture where we can. I want treats she'll actually eat but that might give her a little boost in that department.

That makes a lot of sense — dry food is convenient but it really does leave cats running on low hydration, and constipation is one of the first signs. Adding moisture through treats is a smart, low-effort way to help. Does she have any known protein sensitivities, or is she pretty much an eat-anything cat when the flavour appeals to her?
No sensitivities that we know of. She's quite into fish generally — tuna, salmon, that sort of thing.

Perfect — that makes this straightforward. I'd go with Applaws Tuna Loin Cat Treats. They're made from a single ingredient: dried tuna loin. No grain, no fillers, no added anything. Because they're air-dried rather than baked hard, they retain a decent amount of natural moisture — not wet-food levels, but meaningfully more than a standard crunchy treat. Tuna is also naturally high in protein and very low in carbohydrates, which means nothing in there is going to slow her gut down further. They're light, so you can give a few pieces without overloading her calorie-wise, and most fish-oriented cats find the scent pretty irresistible. They're widely available on Amazon UK and reasonably priced for the quality. Given she's on dry food, I'd also gently suggest pairing them with a small amount of water or low-sodium broth alongside — not essential, but it all adds up.
That sounds really good actually. Are they okay to give daily or should it be more of an occasional thing?
inparticular.ai
Daily is fine in small amounts — a few pieces rather than a handful. Because they're a single-ingredient treat with no additives, there's nothing in them that becomes a problem with regular use. Just keep it to around 10% of her daily calories as a rough guide, which for most cats means a small pinch. If you're using them partly as a moisture top-up, consistency will help more than occasional large amounts anyway.
