While some people enjoy making all their cat’s food themselves, even people who use commercial food regularly may enjoy making homemade cat treats. Homemade cat treats are often quick and easy to prepare.
Recipes for homemade cat treats can be found by using a search engine. A cat owner may be able to find a recipe collecting ingredients that they already have in the house.
One example of an easy cat treat recipe is for fishy cat treats. This simple recipe use is salmon, tuna, or mackerel. The cat owner can decide which type of fish they want to use.
One can of tuna or one third cup of canned mackerel or canned salmon should be placed in a bull and mashed. A beaten egg, one tablespoon of vegetable oil, and one cup of plain, dried breadcrumbs should be added to the fish. The cat owner should then mix all the ingredients thoroughly.
Small spoonfuls of the mixture should be dropped onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. The cat treats should be baked for about eight minutes or until lightly browned in a 350 degree oven.
After baking, the cat owner can place the fishy cat treats on a clean kitchen towel or wire rack to cool. The cat treats need to be completely cold before they are given to the cat were stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Experimenting with different ingredients can be fun. A cat may prefer a different type of meat. Cat owners may want to try substituting canned chicken for the fish.
The cat owner may want to try substituting ground beef for the fish for something different. The ground beef should be cooked thoroughly before added to the rest of the ingredients. Veggie cat treats the be made by using finely shredded carrots or finely chopped cooked vegetables in place of the meat.
Homemade cat treat recipes should not include anything that could be harmful to cats. Some experts recommend refraining from giving the cat food that contains canned tuna every day. Therefore, if a cat owner uses tuna in this recipe, it may be a good idea to alternate with other meat ingredients.
