Tasty Treats For Your Feline Friend

Your kitty queen deserves some fresh, homemade, tasty treats. If you need some ideas for how to tempt your tabby, look no further.

3 Ingredient Salmon Treats

With just 3 ingredients and 20 minutes, you’ll have one happy cat. Use a fish-shaped cookie cutter to make these yum yums even more delectable.

Ingredients:

  • 10 oz canned salmon (undrained)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  2. Chop salmon in a food processor, then combine with the egg and flour in a stand mixer. It should form a delicious dough. If it’s too dry, you can add up to ⅓ cup water. Make sure it’s not too sticky.
  3. Roll out the dough until it’s about a ¼ inch thick. Use flour to keep it from sticking. With a ¾ inch cookie cutter (we recommend a fishy), create your treats.
  4. Place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper and throw ‘em in the oven for 20 minutes. When they look slightly brown and crunchy, you know they’re ready to go.
  5. Let them cool off before giving them to your kitty. You can store these in an airtight container for up to two weeks.

Ingredients:

  • 1 can tuna
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon catnip

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°.
  2. Mix all the ingredients together until evenly blended in a thick mixture.
  3. Roll the mixture into ¼ inch balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  4. Let em cook for 9-12 minutes, then let cool before feeding to your feline friend.

Here’s a yummy treat to make sure your cat is eating its veggies. And by using organic ingredients, you can be confident your kitty is happy and healthy.

  • ½ pound steamed organic boneless and skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup fresh organic spinach leaves
  • 1 cup organic quick-cooking oats
  • 1 organic brown egg
  • 1 tablespoon organic catnip
  • ¼ cup flour

 

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°. Steam the chicken thighs until fully cooked and let cool.
  2. Put the chicken, spinach, oats, egg, and catnip in a blender or food processor and pulse on low until it has a consistency like wet sand.
  3. Put the mixture in a bowl and add the flour. Get your hands in there and knead it together until it’s no longer sticky.
  4. Roll out the dough until it’s about ½ inch thick. Use a small cookie cutter or pizza cutter to make small shapes (extra points if you can spell out your cat’s name in treats).
  5. Bake for 20 minutes on a parchment-lined tray. Let those tasty treats cool down for a bit, then watch your cat go crazy.
