Halloween treats for cats
These delicious pumpkin treats will keep your cat happy and are a perfect way to get them involved in the Halloween celebrations.
What you’ll need
Ingredients:
- 395g tin of salmon or tuna in water (drained)
- 75g of pumpkin puree
- 45g of oats
- one egg
- two tbsp coconut oil (this is high in fat, so it's best to avoid if your cat has a history of pancreatitis)
Utensils:
- weighing scales
- a blender
- tin opener
- mixing bowl and wooden spoon
- baking tray
Note
Treats should be given occasionally and alongside a well-balanced diet. These treats aren’t suitable for cats with special dietary requirements.
Method
- Pop your oats into a blender and blend until they look like flour
- Drain the tinned fish
- Combine the rest of your ingredients in a mixing bowl
- Form the mixture into biscuits – create whatever shape you like
- Bake for 25-30 mins on 160°c
- Cool down and serve
These biscuits will keep for three to four days.
Important
- Carefully check the ingredients and do not feed if your cat is allergic to any of them.
- When feeding your cat any new food that is not a part of their usual diet, there's a risk of an upset stomach, so it's best to introduce it slowly in small amounts over a number of days.
- Feed in moderation. Depending on the size of your cat, you may wish to feed a smaller dinner portion after giving them treats to keep your cat at a healthy weight.
