Best Cat Lickable Treats 2027: CIAO vs Catit vs DogCatStar vs Natural Kitty

By the Store Manager

Last Wednesday at 11 p.m. I tried to trim my cat's claws. Before the clippers touched a single nail, she had signed her name three times on my arm and kicked my coffee onto the report I had just finished. Total life disaster. What restored peace was a lickable treat from the drawer: the moment I tore it open, she went from "I'm suing you" to "you are my favorite human." So this 2027 guide to the best cat lickable treats is for every cat parent who needs a peace-treaty bargaining chip.

We compared four popular picks on Shopee Taiwan: CIAO Churu, Catit Creamy, DogCatStar Pure Lickable, and Natural Kitty Superfood Creamy Treats. Specs come from brand and retailer pages; prices are current reference prices — check the Shopee listing for actual price, flavors and expiry.

CIAO Churu: the classic

CIAO is practically synonymous with lickable treats. Made in Japan, 14g per stick, about 7 kcal, crude protein ≥7.0%, moisture ≤91%, with green tea extract. It is a treat, not a meal — great for rewards, hiding pills, or calming down after nail trims. Read our full CIAO Churu tuna review.

Catit Creamy: the stock-up friend

Catit Creamy comes in 15g sticks, 4 per pack, 7 flavors, made in Thailand with a 24-month shelf life. It adds fish oil or chicken fat, taurine, chondroitin and glucosamine; protein ≥5%, moisture ≤90%. Its strength is price: about NT$39–55 per pack, with 12-pack bundles from about NT$510, so cost per stick is friendly for multi-cat homes.

DogCatStar Pure Lickable: for ingredient readers

DogCatStar (汪喵星球) promises no gums, starch, palatability enhancers, preservatives or colorants, with a recipe of 75% meat + 20% broth + 5% nutrients, made in Taiwan for both dogs and cats. The chicken flavor lists 5.16 kcal per 6g stick, protein 16.7%, moisture 77.1%. Sticks are small and pricier per gram, and must be refrigerated after opening; ask your vet first if your cat has kidney disease. Got a dog too? See our KONG Extreme dog toy review.

Natural Kitty Superfood: for flavor variety

Natural Kitty offers 12g sticks, 4 per pack, made in Thailand, for all ages, mixing in superfoods such as chia, blueberry and quinoa. One listed flavor shows about 43.80 kcal/100g, protein ≥5%, moisture ≤92%; ingredients vary by flavor. Around NT$45–62 per pack or NT$559–599 for a 50-stick box.

How to choose

1. Calories and portion: keep treats to roughly 10% of daily calories.
2. Top ingredients: meat first if you want high meat content; look for gum-free if additives worry you.
3. Moisture: helps cats that drink little, but never replaces water or meals.
4. Health conditions: ask a vet first for kidney, allergy or urinary issues.
5. Expiry and storage: check dates before bulk buying; follow storage directions.

Who it suits / who it doesn't

Suits: owners using treats for training, pills or nail trims; cats that drink little; anyone who loves bonding time.

Doesn't suit: anyone hoping to replace meals with treats; dieting cats whose humans can't stop at "just one more"; cats with medical conditions not yet cleared by a vet.

What forum users say

We went through threads on PTT and Dcard and boiled down the points users keep bringing up (paraphrased, not quoted):

• Forum consensus: cats love lickable treats, and they're great for sneaking in water or medicine.
• But users keep stressing that these are treats, not meals, so watch daily amounts.
• Owners also note not every cat likes every brand, so try a small pack before stocking up.

FAQ

Q: How many sticks per day?

A: Depends on weight and calories; keep treats within about 10% of daily intake — 1–2 sticks is common for adult cats. Follow package and vet advice.

Q: Can lickable treats be a main meal?

A: No. All four are treats and are not nutritionally complete.

Q: Are they okay for kittens?

A: DogCatStar and Natural Kitty are labeled for all ages; check the label for others and start small.

Q: Which is cheapest?

A: By current reference prices, Catit bundles and the Natural Kitty box have lower cost per stick. Check Shopee for actual prices.

Verdict

Pick CIAO for a reliable classic, Catit for value, DogCatStar for clean ingredients, and Natural Kitty for variety. Whatever you choose, treats are peace offerings, not dinner. Prepare one before the next nail trim — your arms will thank you.
