Quick answer

Both Temptations Mixups Surfers Delight and Backyard Cookout are crunchy outside, creamy inside treats under 2 calories each. Surfers Delight offers a seafood variety, while Backyard Cookout delivers a bold chicken, liver, and beef mix. Your cat's preference for fish versus poultry flavors is the deciding factor.

Flavor profiles and variety

Surfers Delight is designed for cats that love seafood. It combines fish-based flavors in a unique pocket shape with a crunchy exterior and soft, creamy center. Backyard Cookout, on the other hand, mimics a savory cookout with a blend of chicken, liver, and beef. If your cat is a fan of land-based proteins, this option offers more variety in a single treat.

Both treats are crafted with vitamins and are 100% nutritionally complete for adult cats, so you can use them as a daily reward without worry.

Texture and treat size

Both products share the same signature texture: a crunchy outside and a soft, creamy inside. This dual texture appeals to cats who enjoy a satisfying crunch followed by a smooth finish. The 3 oz size is convenient for training sessions or as a small pantry staple.

Because each piece is under 2 calories, you can offer multiple treats throughout the day without overfeeding. This makes either option suitable for weight-conscious cats, provided you adjust meal portions accordingly.
