36. KITTIES FAVORITE TREATS
1-1/2 cups cooked chicken or turkey
1 large egg
2 Tbl. chicken broth
1-cup cornmeal
1/2-cup whole wheat flour
In a blender or processor whirl chicken, egg and
broth until smooth. Scrape into bowl. Add cornmeal
and 1/2 cup flour, stir until moistened. Cover dough
and refrigerate at least 2 hrs. Then roll out 1/4 in
thick on lightly floured board. Cut into 1/2 in squares
or triangles. Scatter on 3 greased 12 x 15 baking
sheets. Bake at 350 until golden (about 15 min.)
Remove from oven, stir in pans and let cool.
Refrigerate airtight up to 2 weeks, freeze for longer
storage. Makes about 3 cups.
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.

Stir in the margarine or low-fat spread, add the food
coloring, and beat vigorously until stiff. Put in a glass
bowl or a mold so that the mixture fills it by threequarters.
Chill for 20 minutes, then decorated with
the cooked shrimp, and pour on just enough heated
gelatin to cover them. Once this layer has set, add
further gelatin to taste and leave for an hour in a cool
place or the fridge. To serve, turn the mousse out

pat of butter
1 cup water
Few stalks of watercress
Fish sauce (optional)

the pan from the heat and allow to cool. Puree, and
add a dash of fish sauce.

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 airtight containers, such as Tupperware,
Rubbermaid, or Zip-Lock Baggies. Use within 36

Drain the tuna and mix everything together. Make 6-
7 balls and then pat them into patties. Store in the
fridge and serve to your cat. This is one cat treat
recipe that your feline friend won't be finicky about.
67. TUNA POPS
Drain liquid from tuna packed in spring water.
Freeze liquid in small ice cube trays (cocktail ice cube
trays work nicely, as well as little square pill boxes
available at most drug stores - only fill these half full).
Give no more than 2 cubes at 1 time as a treat. Reuse
your can of drained tuna by placing in it an airtight
container and covering with filtered water overnight
for a second batch of tuna-pop water.
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, but my cats LOVE IT!)
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.
69. YOU GOTTA HAVE SOLE

1/2-cup milk
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2-tbl liver
1/2 teaspoon iodized salt
2/3 cup cooked noodles, cut into kitty-bite-size pieces
(or cooked rice)
Put sole in a small, greased baking disk. Sprinkle
with onion, parsley, and a dash of salt and pepper.
Add enough water to just cover the bottom of the
dish. Cook in a preheated 450 oven for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven, cool, and cut into kitty-bit-size
pieces.
Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in flour and heat
until bubbling. Gradually stir in milk and cook,
stirring constantly until mixture thickens. Add
cheese, liver, and salt; stir until cheese has melted.
DO NOT BOIL. Add chopped fish and noodles to
cheese sauce and stir well. Cool and serve. Yields 4 to
6 servings.
Store unused portions in an airtight container and
keep refrigerated.
70. YOUR KITTY'S KIBBLES
3 cups whole-wheat flour
2 cups soy flour
1-cup wheat germ
1-cup cornmeal
1-cup nonfat dry milk
1/2-cup brewer's yeast
1 (15 ounce) cans mackerel
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1-tablespoon cod liver oil
2 cups of water or as needed
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another
bowl, mash the mackerel into small pieces. Mix in the
oil and water. Add the mackerel mixture to the dry
ingredients and mix thoroughly. The dough is tough,
so use your hands. Roll dough out to about 1/4"
thickness and cut into 1/4" bits, using a knife or pizza
cutter. Mound the bits onto greased cookie sheets
and bake for 25 minutes. During baking, occasionally
toss the bits with two wooden spoons, so they brown
evenly. Turn the heat off and allow the treats to cool
thoroughly before removing and storing in an airtight
container in the refrigerator. This recipe freezes very
well for longer storage.

container and store
in refrigerator or cool dry place.
~Homecooked Meal for Kitty~
Meat - Ground beef, lamb, chicken, turkey - NO pork
- (the coarser the
ground, the better). For each pound take 6 oz of
spring water (or low salt
broth) add 4 drops grapefruit seed extract and mix
into meat. Add water
and/or broth until you get the consistency of thick
chili. Per each pound of
raw meat add:
Approximately 2 cups fresh (uncooked or very lightly
steamed)
vegetables (finely chopped in the food processor) - for
example, carrots,
zucchini, etc. (Tip: carrots are good to start with -
they are sweet).
Approximately 2 cups cooked grains (finely chopped
in the food
processor) - examples include rice, cereal, leftover
potatoes, and oatmeal.
Kitty Bloom brand calcium supplement per package
directions
(including adding the salt) and Kitty Bloom brand
vitamin supplement per
package directions. You can substitute bone meal or
other calcium per
various authors.
Two or three times a week add some coat
supplement. If stools get too
loose, cut back on oil. Optional:
1T aloe vera juice (no sodium benzoate and not
during pregnancy). This
is very helpful for any digestive problems and/or
allergies.
Sprinkle acidophilus over food at mealtime.
Especially helpful for cats
who have been recently on antibiotics or have had
any sort of digestive
problem. Sprinkle some Florzayme or Prozyme over
meal just before
serving... especially helpful when changing a cat over
to fresh food from
commercial food. Feed at least twice a day. You may
freeze or keep in the
refrigerator for up to 3 days.
~SassyKat's Tuna-Pops (even safe for diabetic cats)~
Drain liquid from tuna packed in spring water.
Freeze liquid in small ice cube
trays (cocktail ice cube trays work nicely, as well as
little square pill boxes
available at most drug stores - only fill these half full).
Give no more than 2
cubes at 1 time as a treat. Reuse your can of drained
tuna by placing in it an
airtight container and covering with filtered water
overnight for a second
batch of tuna-pop water.
~SassyKat's 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.

Cat Gift Ideas:
If you would like to make these up and give as gifts to
other
cat owners, you can go to your local craft store and
purchase
some clear cellophane bags. Place treats in the bags
and tie
off with colored ribbon. I like to get some really cute
decorative
stickers and place on the bag for gift giving. Attach a
cute
gift card.
You can also get a decorative tin, line the bottom with
tissue
paper and place treats inside. Put a colored bow on
the top
with a gift card.
If you want to get really creative, you can purchase a
wicker
basket and fill it with any of the following items.
Crunchy Cat Treats
Catnip
Balls
Squeaky Toys
Stuffed Animals
Pretty Collar
Brush/Comb
Small Cans Cat Food
The list is endless as to what you can fill the basket
with.
Make it unique to the cat lover you are giving it to.
It
will be appreciated and cherished.
When finished filling the basket with goodies, wrap
clear cellophane
around the basket and tie it off with large ribbon and
a bow.
Attach a cute gift card.
