Store-bought treats are great, but they are processed and contain certain ingredients that may not be the best choice for your kitty’s health. On the other hand, homemade treats help you control what goes in your cat’s treats and make it a fun weekend activity for you. Moreover, what better way to show love than creating a few delicacies for your kitty? Let’s take a look at a few super-easy homemade cat treat recipes.

1. Catnip treats
Don’t our felines love catnip? Imagine how crazy they’ll go for catnip-based treats. All you need to make these quick and easy catnip treats are flour, tuna, a beaten egg, and lots of catnip. Throw the ingredients into a food processor and combine. After the dough is ready, cup small pieces of it and place them on parchment paper. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, and your catnip treats are ready. You can store them in an airtight container or even freeze them. Feed your kitty a few of these, and she will never have enough.

2. Salmon cookies
This three-ingredient foolproof cookie recipe will have your kitty meowing for more. It is made using salmon or any other canned oily fish of your choice, eggs, and flour. All you need to do is throw these ingredients into a food processor, let them combine, and cut the dough using a cute fish-shaped cutter (or any other cutter of your choice). Bake it in the oven for 20 minutes, and voila! Your salmon cookies are ready. Store them in an airtight container, and they should last for up to 2-3 weeks.

3. Pumpkin and turkey chews
These chicken pumpkin and turkey chews are an absolute delight for your cats. This recipe can be made using different proteins like chicken, salmon, and tuna. It is simple and super-easy to make. All you need to do is mash some cooked pumpkin. Then, use some plain gelatin to bind the ingredients together. Once they turn into a toothpaste-like texture, make small balls and place them in the fridge to set. Once they are set, they’re ready to be eaten by your beloved kitty.

4. Cheesy treats
Everybody loves cheese–even our little furry buddies. That is why they deserve some delicious cheese treats. In this recipe, you need to mix the cheese and yogurt. After that, add in some flour followed by some water and knead it into a dough. Then, cut the dough into tiny bite-sized pieces and bake them in the oven for 25 minutes. Your cheesy and delicious cat treats are ready. Cool them down and watch your kitty enjoy your freshly made treats.

5. Quick mackerel bites
With simple ingredients like wheat bread crumbs, canned mackerel, and eggs, you can whip up delicious treats for your little furball. This ingredient also uses brewer’s yeast–an element that improves coat health and keeps fleas at bay. However, this ingredient is optional. To begin with, take some canned mackerel, bread crumbs, a beaten egg, some oil, and the yeast and combine them. Cut them and set them on a baking sheet, and bake away for about 8-10 minutes. Cool and store in an airtight container.
