Purr-fect Kitty Salmon Treats

Meow!

After posting the Dog Waffle recipe, I received a request for a cat treat recipe.  Not having cats myself, I scoured the internet for ideas and researched a bit to find out what our feline friends like to eat.  So here’s my first-ever…kitty treat!  I’ll be delivering some to our neighbor’s 2 cats to get their “paws-up” or “paws-down” lol!  I hear kitties can be a little more finicky with their foods, so I am curious to see how these go over.  Oh and I should mention that since these contain salmon, they don’t exactly smell like a batch of double chocolate brownies coming out of the oven…but all worth it if it makes your kitty happy!

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together egg and oil in medium bowl.
• Add salmon and use hand mixer with dough hooks or use a spoon to break up and combine salmon with egg mixture.
• Add in oat flour, oats, brewer’s yeast, and catnip.
• Continue mixing to combine.  Drizzle in reserved salmon liquid ¼ - 1/3 cup until mixture forms stiff dough.
• Scoop ½ teaspoon portions, push together dough to form small balls.
• Press down on each with tines of fork.

• Store in air-tight container in refrigerator for a week or freeze for 6 months.

Notes

*Notes:  For brewer’s yeast, check the natural foods or protein powder section of grocery.  Most pet stores carry dried catnip.  You can make oat flour in a blender or food processor.*
