Pamper Your Cat With Homemade Recipes

[Ghost in the Machine]

37. KITTY BISCUITS
1 pound liver, organs, or other meat
2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
2 cups bran
1/4 cup cooking oil

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Cover meat with cold water and bring to a boil. Immediately lower
heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove meat from water and let
cool; retain water.

When meat is completely cool, chop into 1-inch pieces and grind in
food processor, chop in a blender, or process through a meat grinder
until it is finely ground. Mix ground meat, bran, oatmeal, and oil,
adding the cooking water from the meat as necessary to make a thick
dough. Avoid using any more liquid than needed to make a dough that
is coarse and just wet enough to work with. Shape the dough into
flattened balls or little bone shapes and arrange on an oiled baking
sheet. Bake for 3 hours. Then, turn off the heat and let the biscuits
cool in the oven to ensure they are hard and crunchy.
Let the biscuits air dry for 24 hours and store in an airtight container
on the shelf for up to 4 weeks.

NOTE: When making this recipe for cats, shape the biscuits into tiny
bits for easy chewing.

HINT: A good idea for getting the meat for this recipe is to save organs
from chickens, turkeys, etc. in a plastic bag in the freezer until you
have enough to make this yummy treat.

57. PRECIOUS KITTY TREATS
1 12-oz can salmon with liquid
1 egg
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup instant oatmeal,
ground in a blender
Combine the salmon and egg in a blender; mix until smooth. Add the
oatmeal and blend well. Spray cooking spray on a 9-by-13inch pan and
spread the mixture in the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

about 24 treats.

64. SPECIAL DINNER
(good for cats with diabetes or kidney problems)
1 egg
1 tablespoon minced, cooked green beans
1 teaspoon shredded carrot (if you substitute other vegetables, avoid
the ones with a lot of natural sugars)
2 tablespoons baked chicken breast (no skin) minced
1/3 cup cooked brown rice (unrefined; wild rice is good)
1 tablespoon olive oil (good for preventing hair balls and constipation -
common to diabetics)

Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly with a wooden spoon or in a
blender/food processor. It's important to get the rice mixed in well so
that it can't be picked out. (Diabetics need fiber and cats with kidney
failure problems need to limit their protein intake so this serves two
purposes.) Cook in a small Pyrex skillet over low heat, stirring and
"chopping" constantly, until the egg is at least soft-set but done.

Refrigerate in air-tight containers, such as Tupperware, Rubbermaid,
or Zip-Lock baggies. Use within 36 hours (refrigerated). Stores well in
the freezer in Zip-Lock baggies and can be thawed and warmed
simultaneously in boiling water in the bag.

68. TUNA TREATS
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup nonfat, dry, powdered milk
1/2 can tuna, in oil
OR 1/2 cup cooked chicken, chopped into small pieces
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil OR cod liver oil
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup water
Catnip (Optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease cookie sheets with cooking
spray. In a large bowl, mash the tuna(or chicken)into smaller pieces.
Then add flour and milk. Mix well. After all is mixed pour in water and
oil. Mix well again. Now, beat egg in a separate dish until egg gets a
foamy texture. Add to mix. Mix well. The dough mix will be sticky, so
don’t worry. Using your fingers shape dough into small bite size balls,
about the size of a marble. Put balls on greased cookie sheets. Flatten.
Bake for 10 minutes. Remove treats from oven wait five minutes and
turn treats over so other side will cook. Bake 10 more minutes or until
golden brown in color. Place treats on cookie rack to cool. Cool for 15
minutes.

1. You do know

that you are insane... Don't you?

Every cat I have ever owned (or who has owned me) ate its own vomit and would gnaw the heads off of lizards.

I am not cooking for no freakin' cat.

3. I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it....

I had an aunt & uncle who had no children, but they had a birddog that my aunt cooked bacon & eggs for EVERY morning for as long as I could remember.

There are some members here who would do this for their cats, though...

2. Got anything with crickets?

They're her favorite food. She's :crazy:

4. I suppose you could subsitute crickets for any of the meats in these recipes

go down to the local bait store and buy some. I think they're about 4 bucks per hundred around here, been a while since I bought any...
