Do you like to occasionally give your cat a treat but dont like buying pre-made treats because you cant always be certain if theyre safe? Like to bake? Well hers a few recipes so you can make some SAFE HOME MADE treats where youll KNOW what they consist of! Be certain to consider carefully what you may be doing when feeding treats. A cat that would normally weigh 10 to 12 pounds can gain a lot weight if given too many treats. A weight gain of 1 pound may not seem like much, but to a small pet that pound can be 10 percent of his body weight. Thats like 15 pounds for a person! Fishy Pretzels 3/4 cup canned tuna or salmon, drained well 1/4 cup warm water 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup whole-wheat flour Preheat oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. In a medium size bowl, mash canned fish well with a fork and combine with water and butter. Add flour to form a dough. Divide dough into 24 pieces, roll each piece into a rope, and shape into a pretzel. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned. Makes two dozen. Note: dough can be rolled out and shaped with cookie cutters before placing on cookie sheets. Cheese Balls 2 tablespoons soft margarine 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese 1 egg white 1/2 cup flour 1/2 tsp catnip Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine margarine, cheese, catnip and egg white. Add flour to make a soft dough. Separate dough into half-inch pieces and roll into balls. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 35 minutes. Makes about 12 balls. Gobble-ups 1 cup cooked turkey or chicken 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth 1 tablespoon margarine 1 cup whole wheat flour Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
