Cat Treats – Some Homemade Recipes for Your Beloved Felines!

September 14, 2016

I know we’ve done several blogs about homemade treats for dogs, one that was pumpkin spice inspired just last week, in fact! But I don’t want to leave out other beloved pets that would love, love, love some homemade cat treats! This week will be a couple of great cat treats that you can make for all the cat lovers out there, so take a look! Make sure you check the ingredients with your vet to make sure everything is okay to give to your four-legged friend.

Catnip Cat Treats:

Ingredients: 5 oz tuna in water, drained 1 egg flour – ½ cup wheat germ – ¼ cup cornmeal – ½ cup wheat flour – ¼ cup ¼ cup water ½ tablespoon catnip Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper 3. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl until combined 4. Form into a dough, it will by sticky! 5. Place dough onto a floured surface 6. Pull off small pieces of dough and roll into small balls 7. Push the dough down so the treat is the size of a nickel and place on parchment paper 8. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes, allow to cool completely and serve! Via: http://www.messforless.net/catnip-cat-treats-recipe/

Homemade Organic Spinach and Chicken Cat Treats:

Ingredients: 1/2 pound steamed organic boneless and skinless chicken thighs (You can sub with salmon or tuna!) fresh organic spinach leaves – 1 cup organic quick-cooking oats – 1 cup 1 organic brown egg 1 tablespoon organic catnip 1/4 cup flour Directions: 1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Steam the boneless and skinless chicken thighs until cooked through. You can swap for boneless and skinless organic chicken breasts, salmon, or tuna with cat-loving results too. Let the chicken cool for 20 minutes before the next step. 2. Place the chicken, oats, spinach leaves, egg, and catnip in a blender or food processor, and pulse on low until the mixture blends together. 3. Pop the mixture into a bowl and add the flour. You can also add a dash of salt or sugar to mix up the flavor. Use your hands to knead the dough until it’s no longer sticky, then place on a flour-dusted work surface. 4. Use a rolling pin to create a rectangle of dough around 1/2 inch thick. With the help of a small cookie cutter, create small shapes for the treats. 5. Place the kitty treats on a parchment-lined sheet tray, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, cool until room temperature.

3 Ingredient Salmon Cat Treats:

Ingredients 10 oz canned salmon (undrained) 1 egg (beaten) 2 cups whole wheat flour Instructions: 1. Heat oven to 350°. Pulse 10 oz canned salmon (undrained) in a food processor and chop as finely as possible. 2. In a stand mixer, combine salmon, 1 egg (beaten) and 2 cups whole wheat flour until dough forms. If dough is too dry, add up to 1/3 cup water. If dough is too wet or sticky, add a bit more flour. Dough should be tacky but not sticky. 3. Roll out dough on a floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Use a 3/4-inch cookie cutter in the shape of your choice to create your treats. 4. Place treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350° for about 20 minutes. When they’re slightly browned and crunchy, they’re done. 5. Allow to cool before serving cat treats. 6. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
