Baked Salmon Squiggle Cat Treats: A Simple Homemade Recipe

If you’ve ever opened a can of salmon near your cat, you already know—cats go wild for fish! Making your own homemade cat treats is not only healthier than many store-bought options, but it also lets you control the ingredients. These Baked Salmon Cat Treats are packed with protein, quick to make, and will have your feline friend purring for more.

Why Salmon?

Salmon is a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support:

• A shiny, healthy coat

• Reduced inflammation in joints

• Heart and brain health

Paired with egg (for protein and binding) and oat flour (a gentle, cat-friendly grain), this recipe is simple, nutritious, and cat-approved.

Recipe: Baked Salmon Cat Treats

Ingredients:

• 1 (5 oz) can salmon in water + no added salt (do not drain)

• 1 egg

• 5 tablespoons oat flour

  
  

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. In a blender, combine salmon, egg, and oat flour. Mix until well blended.

1. Place mixture in a zip-loc bag and cut off a small tip to act as a piping bag.

2. Make squiggles or whatever fun shapes you like.

3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until firm and lightly golden.

4. Let cool completely before serving to your cat.

   

Storage

Keep treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. Cats may even enjoy them slightly chilled for extra freshness!

A Few Tips:

• Break into smaller pieces for kittens or petite cats.

• Use a silicone mold for fun shapes (like tiny fish).

• Make sure to let treats cool fully before feeding.
