Cat giving you the cold shoulder? Survey reveals the secret to discovering their love language is with a great wet treat.
In exciting news for cats around Australia, Delectables, America’s #1 wet cat treat has just launched down under. Specifically formulated for cats' taste preferences, Delectables is now available in Woolworths with two key products, Squeeze Ups and Lickable Cat Treats.
The Bond: Survey Reveals Increased Affection
To celebrate the launch, Delectables conducted a survey to uncover insights into habits, health and behaviours of the nation’s most independent pets, and the owners who love them. And while cats can have a reputation for being aloof, 80% of Australian cats showed increased affection towards their owners during treat time.
Expert Opinion: Dr. Kate Adams on Feline Love Languages
A proud mum of three cats herself, Delectables ambassador and Bondi Vet Dr. Kate Adams confirms that “absolutely cats have love languages - with food being high on that list!”
Delectables Squeeze Ups and Lickable Cat Treats are great motivators for rekindling your connection with your cat, or bridge the initial gap with a new family member, adding that one of her own cats, Puddy, “only speaks in snacks,” says Dr Kate.
Dr Kate explains that while her own “cats go wild for Delectables”, the brand’s range of treats offer a wide variety of benefits. In addition to fostering a closer bond with your cat, Delectables are healthier and are extremely effective for training, including coming when their name is called, establishing trust and giving them medication.
Hydration and Health: The Dangers of Dry Food
When it comes to cats' regular diets, many owners think dry biscuits are a convenient choice, but Dr Kate warns they may be contributing to dehydration and Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) - one of the most common health problems amongst cats.
“We call the cats that love dry food ‘Cookie Monsters'," Dr Kate says. “They’re often the ones desperate for water, which can lead to urinary problems and even diabetes”.
Dr. Kate’s Hot Tip: “If you see your cat drinking water from the kitchen tap or from the shower, it’s a sign they need more moisture in their diet. Adding a Delectables cat treat can help by contributing up to 14% of their recommended daily water needs.”
