Lickable Cat Treats Compared: Purrly, Choolip, and Tiki Cat Stix
Lickable squeeze treats have become a fast favorite in multi-cat households: no bowl to wash, no mess on the floor, and a texture that gets even a picky cat’s attention. We keep a rotation of three in our own house. Here is how they actually compare.

Purrly Low Calorie Premium Lickable Cat Treat Topper (90 Count)
Best for: Everyday treating and bonding · Price category: Budget
Advantages
- Human-grade protein with a low-calorie, low-phosphorus formula
- Grain-free and non-GMO
- A 90-count bundle keeps the per-treat cost low
- Both of our cats go after this one immediately
Disadvantages
- Single-use pouches, so there is some packaging waste with daily use
- A treat, not a meal replacement, so portion it accordingly
Key features: 90-count bundle · Human-grade chicken protein · Low-phosphorus formula · Grain-free · Non-GMO
Who should buy it: Multi-cat households who want an affordable, everyday treat that still reads as high-quality.
Notes: Both of our cats go crazy for these, and the price makes it easy to keep them on hand as a genuine everyday treat rather than a rare splurge.
Choolip Squeeze Vita Stick Variety Pack (49 Count)
Best for: Targeted vitamin support · Price category: Premium
Advantages
- Vet-formulated sticks targeted at specific needs: joints, skin, heart, kidney, liver, eyes, and brain
- Grain-free
- Our cats love these just as much as the Purrly
Disadvantages
- Noticeably more expensive per stick than Purrly
- The targeted-vitamin variety only matters if you are tracking a specific health need
Key features: 49 sticks · Vitamin-targeted formulas (joints, skin, heart, kidney, liver, eyes, brain) · Vet-formulated · Grain-free
Who should buy it: You want functional, targeted nutrients and do not mind paying more for it.
Who should avoid it: You are treating on a budget. Our cats respond just as enthusiastically to the cheaper Purrly.
Notes: Our cats love these exactly as much as the Purrly. The difference is price, so this is the one we reach for when we feel like spoiling them a bit extra rather than as an everyday staple.

Best for: Picky eaters and mealtime toppers · Price category: Mid-range
Advantages
- Smooth mousse texture in chicken, salmon, and tuna
- Doubles as a dry food topper for picky eaters
- Non-GMO
Disadvantages
- Smaller pack size than Purrly’s 90-count bundle
- Less targeted nutritionally than Choolip’s vitamin-specific sticks
Key features: 3oz pouches · Chicken, salmon, and tuna variety · Smooth mousse texture · Non-GMO
Who should buy it: You have a picky eater and want a mealtime topper as much as a standalone treat.
Notes: Our cats love these too. It is a good rotation option alongside Purrly and Choolip rather than a clear winner over either.
