Soft treats solve a narrow problem: a cat that walks away from hard biscuits, an older cat, or a cat with dental sensitivities still deserves a reward it can actually eat. Four of the five picks below are genuinely soft, and the table marks the fifth one honestly — it is a crunchy dental treat included as a texture contrast, not as a soft treat.
The table gives the short version by chewing need. After it, each section looks at one treat: its flavour, its format, and the cat it fits.

Meow Mix Irresistibles Soft Cat Treats
The salmon pick: real salmon as the flavour base, in a soft texture described as easy for cats of all ages to chew, including older cats and those with dental sensitivities. The packaging is a 3-ounce pouch, sold in a pack of 5, which makes it a longer-lasting supply than a single pouch.

Greenies Feline Adult Dental Cat Treats

Conclusion
Softness alone does not pick the treat. The first decision is flavour — two salmon picks and two chicken-based picks cover most cats — and the second is whether grain-free matters for the cat in question. After that, bag size decides how often the household restocks.
The Greenies pick deserves its own note: it is here for texture variety, not because it is soft, and dental treats are described in the original section as something some cats may not respond to, with additional dental care needed in those cases. Keeping that distinction clear is what stops a soft-treat list from quietly becoming a list of something else.
