Why is my cat addicted to kitty treats?

This is a serious problem! Mac just can't get enough kitty treats!! We give our cats Whiskas treats, the soft ones because Gus doesn't like the crunchy ones since he is a truly spoiled housecat and crunching his treats takes far too much energy. Anyhow, Mac is the problem. He can snark 4-5 treats in one sitting and want more. Sometimes, when we aren't paying enough attention, he steals Gus' treats as well. He sits on his table by the back door and anytime we come home, walk through the room, or are anywhere between 5-10 feet away, he is meowhining for treats! He always wants more (hence the addition issue). He eats his food fine, no problems there. But this kitty treat thing, ugh! What I find particularly funny is that his treats sit on his table about 1 foot away from his normal spot. He could open the package and eat all the treats. It's only paper and foil and he does have sharp teeth. Luckily, this thought hasn't occurred to him and I'm not going to mention to him.







Do kitty treats have small amounts of crack and/or cocaine in them? Is this the explanation for the issue?
