Whip up a batch of homemade tuna cat treats your cat will LOVE. They're grain, gluten and dairy free!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Yield: 50 cat treats
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tin tuna in oil, thoroughly drained (approx 120g / 4oz)
Recipe
1. Preheat your oven to 170C / 330F and line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper or baking parchment.
2. Crack open the egg and separate the white from the yolk. Discard the yolk and place the white in a large mixing bowl.
3. Using a hand or electric whisk, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form when the whisk is removed. Set to one side.
4. Empty the can of tuna into the bowl of your blender (I find a mini blender works perfectly for this task). Add two tablespoons of the whisked egg white to the tuna, then blend thoroughly until the mixture is a smooth paste and there are no flakes or lumps.
5. Using a spatula, remove the tuna paste mixture from your blender, and fold it gently into your remaining whisked egg white. Take care not to knock too much air out of the mixture while you are combining the two.
6. Transfer the resulting mix into a piping bag with a small star nozzle attachment. Pipe the mixture into small rounds on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Take care not to make the swirls too large (as this would make it tricky for your cat to eat the treats).
7. Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the treats feel dry to the touch and dislodge easily from the baking parchment. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and then into airtight jars for storage. If kept cool and dry, they should store well for up to 4 weeks.
