Chewy Cat Treats
Makes about 50 small treats
What you'll need:
- 1 large egg
- 1 4-oz jar chicken and brown rice baby food (or something meaty which may include canned wet cat food)
- ¼ cup parsley, coarsely chopped
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup brown rice flour
- ½ cup cooked white (or brown) rice
Directions:
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, baby food (or wet cat food), parsley, olive oil, and water. Add brown rice flour and cooked rice. Stir to incorporate. The mixture will be thick but spreadable.
- Spread mixture onto prepared baking sheet creating a rectangle that is about ⅓ of an inch thick. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven. Let rest until cool enough to handle, then slice soft dough into bite-sized pieces.
- Return pieces to the oven to bake for another 8 minutes. Remove from the oven. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Organic Cat Treats
What you'll need:
- Greased cookie sheet
- ½ cup organic whole wheat flour
- ½ cup non-fat, powdered milk
- ½ cup cooked and chopped organic chicken
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 organic egg, beaten
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh organic catnip (optional)
Directions:
- Gather the ingredients and preheat your oven to 350° F. Ensure you have plenty of counter space to work on.
- Combine the flour, milk, and chicken in a large bowl and mash and mix them together. Add the water, oil, beaten egg, and catnip (if using). Stir well until a sticky dough forms.
- Form the dough into small dime-sized balls and place on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten the balls into discs with your hand or a spoon. You can adjust the size of the treats based on your cat’s size and needs.
- Bake the organic treats for 10 minutes.
- Remove them from the oven and flip each one so they brown on both sides. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until they turn a golden brown colour.
- Cool the treats to room temperature and store in an airtight container or bag.
