Dry food cookies
For unbelievably easy kitty cookies, all you need is 2 cups of your fur baby’s dry food.
-
To turn the dry food into cookies, add 2 cups to a blender until it’s ground into a powder.
-
Pour the powder into a mixing bowl and add 1 to 1 ¼ cups of water.
-
Stir until it forms a dough-like consistency.
-
Shape the dough into individual balls and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
-
Next, flatten the balls with the back of a spoon (just beware that it won’t behave the way traditional cookie dough does!) and pop in the oven for approximately 30 minutes at 180 degrees.
-
These can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, but not frozen.
Salmon and sweet potato bites
You’ll need:
400g salmon cooked/tinned
1 ½ cups sweet potato, baked and mashed
1 ½ cups rolled oats
Silicone mould for the freezer – you could use an ice cube tray or get hold of a mould with fun shapes (such as fish!).
-
Cut salmon into small pieces, then combine with sweet potato in a large bowl.
-
Using a food processor, pulse together the oats and parsley until finely ground, then mix into the salmon and sweet potato mixture.
-
Spoon the mixture into a mould and pop in the freezer for a few hours.
Bite-sized baked wet food
All you need for this is a can of your cat’s favourite wet food.
-
Simply open the can and shake the loaf of cat food out.
-
Cut it into slices about half a centimetre thick, then cut these into bite-sized pieces.
-
Put the pieces onto a baking tray lined with baking paper and pop in the oven for about 30 minutes at 180 degrees.
Treats can then be stored in the fridge for up to a week but aren’t suitable for freezing.
Human food your cat can enjoy (in moderation!)
Chicken balls

1/2 cup chicken mince (human grade!)
1/3 cup oat flour
-

-
Spray a non-stick baking sheet.
-
Roll ingredients into balls and place on a baking sheet.
-
Bake at 175°C for 12-15 minutes and allow to cool before serving.
