The older my cats get the less they care for the hard, small cat treats (or the soft treats that eventually become hard!). I found this recipe for a small batch of treats that they actually seem to like.
It doesn’t make a traditional cat treat that you shape and bake, rather it’s more like a small meal that you portion out in a “snack size” and store the rest in the fridge.
Soft Treat for Older Cats
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 teaspoon bell pepper, chopped
2/3 cup extra-lean ground chicken or turkey
1 baby carrot, cooked and mashed
1 teaspoon grated cheese
Heat the oil in a small skillet and sauté the bell pepper until tender. Stir in the ground meat and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the cheese. Place the mixture in a bowl and let cool. Serve warm in small amounts or refrigerate and serve as small portions.
