  Thanksgiving Tuna Crunchers

  

  The recipe started as an April Fool's joke on Doggy Dessert Chef, but quickly became a favorite of many cats. 

  Ingredients: 

  10 ounces Tuna in water (1 cup)*

  2 tablespoons Catnip

  1 Egg, slightly beaten

  2 cups Whole Wheat Flour

  
  

  Directions: 

  Preheat oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit)

  Mix all of the ingredients in the bowl, adding one at a time. Start with the tuna so all of the ingredients have a base to stick to. It will turn into a dough.

  Knead the dough into ball and roll onto a floured surface. Roll the dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick.

  Score the dough in a checkerboard pattern. Be sure not to cut all of the way through!

  Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes. Let cool and then break into pieces. Keep any uneaten treats in the fridge for a couple of days, and then discard if there are any left.

  Thanksgiving Tuna Turkey

  

  If you are in a pinch, this one is quick and easy.  Simply take a can of cat-safe tuna (most pet stores sell cat-specific tuna) or a small amount of unsalted tuna in water as the base for this delicious treat. Scoop out the tuna and mix it with a few pieces of your cat's favorite dry kibble.

  If you fancy yourself a crafty type, shape it as best as you can like a "turkey." To add to the effect, add some tiny pieces of white meat from your Thanksgiving turkey as embellishments that look like feathers. Present to your kitty right as you are sitting down to the table so they can enjoy the meal, too!

  Pumpkin Smoothies

  

  These pumpkin smoothies are simple and can be frozen to make great chilly treats after the big day.

  Ingredients:

  1/2 can pumpkin puree (note: be sure to grab PLAIN pumpkin, as premade pumpkin pie mixes can have a lot of additional sugar and fat that can wreck havoc on your kitty's digestive system.)

  1/2 cup plain non-fat yogurt

  
  

  Directions:

  Blend the pumpkin and yogurt until smooth

  Serve!

  If you have extra smoothie, you can pour it into an ice tray and save as treats for later.
