Homemade Salmon Cat Treats

Ingredients:

6-7 ounces of canned salmon, with the juice
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup non-fat dry milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 tablespoons water
1 cup flour (whole wheat or all-purpose)

How to make these tasty kitty cat treats:

Heat oven to 350 F.

Combine all ingredients except the flour and mix well.

Slowly add the flour, stirring well. It is very heavy dough, so you may need to put on gloves and mix it by hand.

Place dough on a floured surface and knead it a few times.

Flatten dough and turn it over to coat with flour.

Roll out a little less than 1/4-inch thick.

With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into small kitty-bite-size pieces.

Cutting the dough criss-cross works well and gives you small squares.

You can also roll each of those squares into a ball and press them with your finger to make flat round treats. (Children love to do this.)

Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake for 15 minutes.

Watch carefully as they can burn quickly.

If you don’t want to bake them all at once, the dough may be wrapped well and frozen.

Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Makes approximately 500 treats.
