Homemade Cat Treat Recipe - Fast No Flour Cat Treat Recipe

Being a Cat mom to 3 cats can get expensive for extras such as treats.  As much as they love Temptations and other commercial packaged treats, I decided to venture out and make my very own.

But I wanted something with no flour and simple to make for my first time.

Each day my cats share a tin of Wet Cat food without the gravy, more like a solid pate, so I always have some of these tins on hand.  But you can use your favorite brand as long as it is more of a pate rather than the meat in gravy to make these treats.

Canned Food Cat Treats

No flour Easy Bake Recipe

Step 1 - Preheat Oven to 350 degrees

Step 2 - Spread your canned cat food on some waxed paper until approx. 1/2 inch thick (this makes it easier to work with)

Step 3 - Cut out little flat shapes with your knife or a tiny shape cutter

Step 4 - Place the shapes onto a ungreased cookie sheet

Step 5 - Bake for 15 minutes (watch them carefully so they don't burn)

Step 6 - Flip to other side and continue to bake for another 15 minutes.

Step 7 - Let them cool completely before giving to your cat.

Cats love these treats especially if they are made from their favorite canned food.  Basically this is like "jerky" made from their usual food and they enjoy them.   There are so many homemade cat treat recipes online, but this book will help guide you to the best recipes for your feline.



You can also get kits that include everything you need if you want something with more ingredients and pre-measured.

But if you want something simple.. try the above recipe, especially if you have picky cats, this way they are basically getting their own food but in a dried chewy form.

Watch out for the Obese Cat! 

It is nice to feed your kitties organic, and making your own homemade cat treats, but you still need to keep in mind their weight.  Save the treats as rewards while playing games with them, or make them work for the treats with interactive cat treat toys

Indoor cats can put on weight quickly. If you have a busy kitty that is always running around and mean and lean, then you don't have to worry, but just like us humans, some of us have to watch every morsel.

Check out my post on Cat Obesity for some ideas.

 I managed to get my older cat's weight down slowly by cutting back a little on food (measured) and adding a few more games to her day to get her moving.

Cats will nap all day if allowed especially after the age of 4-5 years old.

Doesn't hurt to get them moving a little bit more.  It is fun for you and them and keeps their weight in check.
