Tina's Tuna Treats
(For Your Cats)
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup nonfat powdered milk
1/2 can tuna, in oil or 1/2 cup cooked chicken, chopped into small pieces
1 tablespoon vegetable or cod liver oil
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup water
In large bowl, mash the tuna (or chicken). Add the flour and powdered milk, mixing well. Stir in the water, oil and egg, mixing well. Mixture will be sticky.
Shape mixture into 1/2-inch sized balls. Place on greased baking sheets. Press balls to flatten.
Bake at 350ºF (175ºC) for 10 minutes. Remove treats from oven; let sit 5 minutes and then turn treats over and bake another 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely on wire rack. Store in an air tight container in refrigerator.
Have you ever wondered if your cat has the ability to sweat? While her heat regulation is primarily achieved through grooming (evaporation of saliva on the body), cats do sweat through the pads of their feet. If you place a warm and excited cat on a glass table, you will be able to see her sweat-induced paw prints on the surface.
"Cats don't like change without their consent." - Roger A. Caras
