I figure, why pay money for cat treats, when I can make them myself? Easy peasy! Modified from a recipe I found to suit what's in my cupboard and my fat cat.
You'll need:
- 5oz can of tuna
- 1/4 cup water drained from tuna. If the water from your can of tuna doesn't equal 1/4 cup, measure out the remainder, rinse the tuna can with it, then use it in the recipe.
- 1 egg white
- 1/4 cup oatmeal
- 1/2 cup flour (you can use whole wheat if you have it, but all purpose is fine too)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Mix tuna, water, and egg until combined.
- Add oatmeal and flour.
- Drop onto greased cookie sheet by small spoonfuls, keeping in mind that:
- You're cat won't care what it looks like.
- The size of the cookie should reflect the size of its consumer.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Make your kitty happy.
My cat, Artemisia, is much happier now with her treat--her reward for letting me trim her claws.
yay I'm glad you were able to trim her claws. I hope it wasn't too traumatic.
