A study conducted by the Association for Pet Obesity states that 57% of cats are overweight or obese. You don’t want to add to these statistics. An average indoor cat weighing ten pounds needs 180 to 200 calories per day. Treats should comprise no more than 10% of your cat’s daily diet.

Why not take a trip to the grocery or health food store, pick up a few simple whole foods (choose organic products wherever possible), and make some tasty and healthy treats for your feline friend? Just follow these simple steps for a variety of healthy and tempting treats.
Ingredients
  • 4 cups whole flour: Choose from flours made with whole oats, chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), or whole brown rice (contains the bran and the germ). You can also consider sweet rice flour, potato flour, or lesser known whole flours like quinoa, tapioca, hemp and coconut. You can use one whole flour to make your treats, or make up your own blend: for example, combine whole brown rice flour with whole oat flour, or try sweet rice flour with coconut flour.
  • 1 cup meat protein, veggies and/or fruits: Choose from hormone and antibiotic-free protein sources. These could include turkey, bison, elk, rabbit, ostrich or duck. Consider pureéd liver, wild salmon, sardines, mackerel or another fish of your choice. When it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, think about applesauce, sweet potatoes, canned pumpkin, bananas, blueberries, or a meat and vegetable blend like sweet potato and turkey liver.
  • Sweet and savory accent: You could use 2 teaspoons of cinnamon or carob powder, or to make your treats extra savory, try 1 small clove of finely minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of catnip, or a combination of catnip and parsley.
