I have not heard this expression but I have heard “the face that launched a thousand ships.” Which is a reference to Helen of Troy when she was abducted. Because she was so beautiful the kidnapped her but the man who loved her wanted her back so he sent armies or ships to retrieve her. But I am not sure about this saying, I suppose with “treats” it could imply what you are saying.

@adirae Thank you very much. And actually I saw this expression from a video when the speaker introduces her dog. And there are some picture showing cute dogs and cats when I google this expression.

I think she was used a play on words but her analogy would have been spot on! The way you explained it does make sense 😁
