Homemade cat treats are a great way to show your feline friend how much you care, and they’re much healthier than store-bought options. Plus, they’re pretty simple to make.

How to make easy homemade cat treats?

There are lots of different recipes for homemade cat treats out there, so you can definitely get creative with this one.  Having said that, there are several straightforward and easy recipes that your cat is sure to love.

Here are a couple of examples:

1. Homemade Salmon Cat Treats: These homemade salmon cat treats are perfect for cats who love fish. You’ll need: 1/2 cup cooked, shredded, or canned salmon (make sure it’s boneless and skinless), 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil or salmon oil. Mix everything together and form into small balls. Then, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely before serving to your cat.

2. Homemade Chicken Cat Treats: These homemade chicken cat treats are perfect for picky eaters. You’ll need: 1/2 cup cooked, shredded, or canned chicken (make sure it’s boneless and skinless), 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil or chicken broth. Mix everything together and form into small balls. Then, bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely before serving to your cat.

As you can see, both of these recipes are pretty similar. The key ingredients you’ll need are some type of protein (chicken or salmon), whole wheat flour, baking powder, and either olive oil or broth.

If you are looking for even easier ideas, you can simply take some canned tuna or chicken and mix it with some whole wheat flour. Then, use a small cookie cutter to cut out shapes. No baking required!

Another idea that doesn’t need any cooking at all is to make a simple mixture of yoghurt, honey, and egg. Mix everything together and put it in the fridge for an hour or so to firm up. Then, use a small cookie cutter to cut out shapes.

Always make sure to supervise your cat while they’re enjoying their homemade treats. Also, make sure to store any leftovers in the fridge or freezer. And last but not least, have fun and enjoy showing your cat some love!

How long does a homemade cat treat last?

Homemade cat treats can last for up to two weeks in the fridge or freezer. However, it’s always best to supervise your cat while they’re enjoying their treats to make sure they don’t overeat. Some homemade treats may contain ingredients that have a short shelf life, such as fresh fish. So, it’s always best to check the recipe before you make a batch. If you’re not sure how long a particular treat will last, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and toss it after a couple of days (and use your eyes and nose to see if it looks or smells funny).

How to make homemade crunchy cat treats?

If you are looking for a fun and easy way to show your cat some love, try making homemade crunchy cat treats! Crunchy cat treats are a great way to show your feline friend how much you care, and they’re much healthier than store-bought options. Plus, they’re pretty simple to make. Just follow the steps below and your cat will be purring with delight in no time!

1. First, you’ll need to gather some ingredients. For this recipe, you’ll need: 1/2 cup cooked, shredded, or canned chicken (make sure it’s boneless and skinless), 1/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 tablespoon olive oil or chicken broth.

When it comes to crunchy cat treats, the key factors are the texture and the flavour. Most cats love the crunchy texture, so that’s why we’ve included whole wheat flour in this recipe. As for the flavour, you can really use any type of protein that your cat enjoys. I’ve used chicken in this recipe, but feel free to experiment with other proteins like tuna or salmon. You could even use a mixture of different proteins to create a variety pack of crunchy cat treats!

Hi, my name is Sisi Reynolds, and I’m 62 years old. I’m the widow of Charles Reynolds, a man who was always passionate about cats.
After he passed away 3 years ago, it fell on me to take care of his indoor cats as well as all the stray cats in our neighborhood. Through trial and error (and a lot of research), I’ve become something of an expert on cat treats!

About Me

Cats are like little children. They are part of the family and we love to give them love. So one of the best love sharing with felines is by giving them tasty treats – I even make my own at home (and I’ll share with you how).
