Figaro’s Favourite Cat Treats

On top of their dry and wet food, my cats enjoy cat treats. The moment they hear the crinkle of a bag, they are meowing for treats. I try to keep a good stash of cat treats on hand for that occasional late-night kitty snack!

However, cat treats are not cheap. I usually try to buy them when they are on sale, but in all honesty, they rarely go on sale and I am left paying full price. With 11 cats, I need a lot of treats.

Thankfully, I am able to make homemade cat treats at a fraction of the cost! One member of our cat-loving family is an adorable Ragdoll named Figaro and he loves his treats. Figaro’s Favourite Cat Treats are easy to make and your cat will love them!

Figaro's Favourite Cat Treats are the perfect treat for your kitty cat.

Figaro’s Favourite Cat Treats

You Will Need:

4 oz can of tuna (in water)
1 cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt

Figaro's Favourite Cat Treats are the perfect addition in your kitty cat's diet!

Figaro’s Favourite Cat Treats Are Kitty Delicious!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a bowl, mix together all ingredients until combined.

Divide the dough into 2 balls.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it is 1/4 inch thick.

Using either a pizza cutter or cookie cutters, cut out the treats.

Place treats onto a greased cookie sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Figaro's Favourite Cat Treats are easy to make for your cat! Homemade treats your kitty will approve of!

    How long will these last? How best to store them? Can they be frozen? (I’m guessing not).

      I had them out about a week with no problem. Obviously, an air tight container would help them last longest. I don’t see why you couldn’t free them. They would probably stay good for a few months in the freezer.

    I can see why your cats love these treats, so many tasty ingredients. I love homemade pet treats, there is way too much processed stuff in store bought treats, unless you buy the super expensive organic kind.

    I will give these a try. FYI, there is tuna for Cats, Nine Lives and Frys (Krogers) and KMart used to sell it as well. It is plain tuna and cheaper than tuna d old for people. Also, if less grain is better there are protein powders that can be used as flours and all sorts of high protein flours instead of grain. I see these at my local Winco, so I save money and packaging. I guess if grain isn’t good for kittys, these might be better. If you try any before I do, post the recipe. I also read somewhere there was some stuff you could spray on cat food to make it like Crack to cats. I read it from a vet, who said that is what they put on dry food & treats to make them like Crack to the Kitty’s.
