DIY Cat Treats

[mum of two]

Hello

I thought we might need this thread.


Here are some recipes I found (haven't tried them yet, but will make one asap, last link probably):

Thanks for sharing. However, I would caution anyone making homemade treats for their cats to do some research first. I only clicked on a few of the links, but every recipe I saw included species-inappropriate ingredients like grains and vegetables. The healthiest snacks I know of for cats are one ingredient meats and organs, either commercial freeze-dried (Whole Life and PureBites are some brands) or home-made raw or plain cooked meats and organs. They're a lot simpler too!

You know, while I wouldn't serve them to my strict carnivores, I can see a use for these. Kibble heads might like them and it might serve as an invaluable tool in transitioning. Or for the cats that need rice to slow digestion...this might be something for them too.
