How to train a cat that doesn't like treats....?!

Our kitten is 11 weeks old & at the moment, we have no need to train him for anything at the moment, he's litter trained & has a lovely temperament overall (touch wood this doesn't change!!.)

However, we're going to be training him to wear a harness & lead soon & want to praise him when he gets it right. Only problem is, he really doesn't like treats....we've tried salmon drops, cat-nip drops, the ones that look like white chocolate, fish chews & the flavoured stick treats....he sniffs them & then walks away....nothing....no interest whatsoever!! In fact, he even gagged at a couple of them

What's the best way to train a cat that doesn't like treats?!

yeah my cats go nuts for human food.. especially cheese!! I could probably pursuade my cat to do the washing up with a bribe of cheddar!!
