Whiskers will be twitching for these easy-to-make cat treats! meow!

All you need are 4 simple ingredients: Pumpkin, salmon, egg, oat flour.

This pouch of boneless, skinless salmon was super handy! I minced it up a little finer with my chopper.

You can buy oat flour or make it yourself! Just grind “Old Fashioned” rolled oats in your blender, chopper or food processor.

Mix to form a nice dough. Sprinkle with a little extra oat flour and pat it out about 1/4″ thick.

Dock all over with a fork – will help release moisture while baking.

Bake for 15 minutes, then take out of the oven and cut into “bits” – mine were about 1 centimeter square. A pizza or pastry wheel tackles this task easily!

Spread the bits back out on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Let them cool completely, store in a jar in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for longer.

    I made a batch of these to give to my cousin’s cat for Valentines day. I haven’t gave them to her yet, but my 2 cats and even my dog really liked these!! I gave them each a sample. 🙂 So I’m sure my cousin’s kitty will love them! Thanks for a great recipe!

      The egg helps hold the mixture together. I’m not sure what a substitute would be. If it were me, I’d try it without the egg and just add extra pumpkin or a little water if it needs more moisture (to replace the egg).

    Can you use corn meal ? Also why remove the skin and bones , I have canned salon on hand. It has the skin and bones. I eat it all when I make salmon patties. Wouldn’t the skin and bones be good for the cat or is there a reason I don’t know about? How long will these keep in the frig?

      You can use whatever ingredients your kitty is allowed to have! For the cornmeal – it may affect the texture. oat flour is pretty finely textured.
