Roll the portions into chick-pea sized pieces and flatten with a fork.

Instructions
- You can make your own oat flour in a food processor: 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats makes about 1 1/3 cups oat flour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In food processor mince tuna and cheddar until it's a fine texture. Add egg, oat flour, catnip and pulse together.
- While running on low drizzle in cold water slowly until the dough pulls together into a ball. You may not need all the water.
- Divide dough ball into 4 smaller balls, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sprinkle a little extra flour on a work surface. Roll each ball into a long “snake”. Use a knife to cut “snake” into small pieces. Roll each piece into a ball (about the size of chick-pea). Flatten gently with a fork.
- Continue until you have used all the dough.
- Bake for about 10-15 minutes, depending on texture you would like; softer or harder.
- Let cool completely. Store in refrigerator for a week or freeze for longer.
cats are lactose intolerant so should not be having any cheddar cheese!
Thanks Maria! – You should only feed your cat what you and your veterinarian decide is best.
Only some cats are lactose. I have three cats and only one of them is, though it is common in cats.
