Prep Time: 10 minutes

🐱 Ingredients:
- 1 can of tuna in water (drained)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or salmon oil
- 1 cup oat flour (or ground rolled oats)
- 1 tablespoon dried catnip (optional – most cats love it!)
🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the tuna, egg, and oil. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in oat flour and catnip (if using) to form a soft dough.
- Shape the Treats:
- Roll the dough into small balls (about marble-size) or flatten slightly with a fork.
- Place on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until firm and lightly golden.
- Let cool completely before giving to your cat.
🧊 Storage:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freeze for longer shelf life (up to 2 months).
✅ Why It’s Great:
- Tuna is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Oats are safe in small quantities and provide fiber.
- Catnip adds fun and appeal for most cats (can be omitted if your cat isn’t a fan).
