Recipe: Feline Fishballs

Treats for my cats always seem to be hit or miss. They’ll either gobble them up or be completely uninterested, as opposed to the dogs who’ll eat anything that hits the ground.

I’ve found that they love anything with a strong tuna smell and flavor. These fishball snacks are perfect for them, and the added bonus of some catnip makes it that much more appealing to them!

8 oz. can tuna in oil – drained
2 oz. cooked herring or other fatty fish – skin removed
3 baby carrots – boiled until tender, mashed
1 egg – beaten
3 T. grated cheese
2 T. whole grain bread crumbs OR rolled oats
2 T. tomato paste
2 tsp. brewer’s yeast
1/4 tsp. catnip

Combine all ingredients; mix well. Roll dough into 1″ balls and place balls 1″ apart on a greased cookie sheet.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and firm. Allow to cool on wire racks.
