Or perhaps you have lingered with a cat, its purr resonating against your feet, big, dreamy eyes gazing up at you? One would say, “Here come the grain-free cat treats.” Behind those beloved snacks lies a universe: one of sustainability and animal welfare. It’s more than giving a cat a treat — it’s about knowing where that treat comes from and how it was created.
Picture your cat perched on the windowsill, gazing outside and dreaming of mailing the virtual birds she can’t catch, and you’ve set out on your own little crusade to find the highest-quality, most morally responsible cat treats on the market. Keeping such a landscape requires at least as much resilience and patience as figuring out your cat’s mood swings.
Many of these high-quality cat treats come with responsibly sourced ingredients, which means they are essentially culled as nature intended. Care fishery-excellent treatment of marine life-and farmlands that treat the land and its workers right. That will mean your cat’s snack wasn’t merely delicious, but part of a far bigger, greener picture.
More often than not, sustainable choices equate to less waste: healers may use environment-friendly packaging, including compostable bags or recyclable materials. It’s the little things in life; toss that packaging in your recycle bin and feel a little extra eco-pride standing next to Whiskers.
There’s certainly some that would ply a green label on anything — like a bedazzled facade actually meant to distract and confound you. There are a few trusted certifications ( like USDA Organic to the Marine Stewardship Council) that offer some vague guidance on how to separate the sincere from the shifty.
In all of the cacophony of snacks and different certifications of all of those snacks, one would just not forget cat happiness. Have you ever tried giving a cat a treat that they totally hate? If looks could kill, right? So you have to balance eco-wholesome with flavor. Quality checks, taste testing — with expert feline testers, naturally — are part of the process to ensure that your furball won’t be turning up its nose.
