Something's Fishy...

Last year we shared a recipe for making your Homemade Dog Treats (a fun food project for your kids to make and your pups to eat!). We are just now getting around to sharing a great recipe for making Homemade Cat Treats! We use this great recipe, and the cats in our family love them! The best part is that this recipe makes a lot for very little money, and you know exactly what your furry friends are eating.

What You Need:

• 1 - 6 oz can tuna, undrained (we were out of tuna, so used canned salmon)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cornmeal
• 1/3 cup water

Mix all your ingredients in a large mixing bowl, adding more water or flour as needed to get a nice, workable dough. Does it smell good? Well...no...it is pretty fishy. But while we prepared our dough, we soon had a little "helper" begging for a taste...she apparently didn't know these were for the cats...

Roll your dough to about a 1/4 inch thickness, then cut into small pieces. We found that a pizza cutter made the job so easy!

Place your treats onto a greased cookie sheet. You don't have to worry too much about spacing them apart, since they won't rise or puff up.
Bake for 20 minutes in a 350 degree oven then let cool completely before allowing your kitties to dig in. While ours were cooling, the smell of freshly baked treats were drawing the attention of one of our test subjects!
Just like with the dog treats, these have no preservatives, so they need to be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. This recipe is so easy to make, and the furry members of your family (including the dog!) will love them! And they'll love you for making them!
