Homemade Cat Treats

Last year my daughter wanted to make Dog Treats for the therapy dog at school. So this year when she came home and wanted to make some cat treats, because her Teacher has a cat I should not have been surprised.

Apparently my daughter got to talking to her teacher about Buddy (my daughters cat) and her teacher told her about her cat. So they bonded over their mutual cat love, and my daughter thought it would be nice to make her cat some yummy treats. Of course our cats would get some too and be the taste testers.

Since I have never made cat treats before I hit the web looking for recipes and found this one at Design Sponge. I had all the ingredients the recipe called for so I thought why not lets give it a try. My older cats seemed to get drunk off the treats, I guess the catnip got to them. They both rolled around the floor and gave me the drunk stare. Buddy, my daughters cat who is only about a year old just gobbled them up. He even tried to break into the bag I put the treats in.

My daughter is bringing the treats to her teacher today and I sure hope her cat enjoys them.
