I adopted two black cats 5 1/2 months ago. They are now 10 and 14 months old. Since day one, they get NO treats or people food. They are fed twice per day at fixed times. Any uneaten food is removed after about 30 minutes.
As a result, these kitties don't bother me about food except at feeding time. Plus, I can eat without the cats pestering me for people food. I feel able to control their weight as they age, easily and without stress to the cats.
I'm almost 60 and have had cats all my life. Cats begging for food treats is sometimes cute. As I've gotten older, it's just a nuisance and definitely not good for the cats.
