Recipe: Homemade Cat Treats

I made these treats awhile back for Simon's birthday. He really liked them. The recipe makes a huge amount so I gave a bunch to friends. Many of their dogs also liked the treats. I think this is a great option for pets with sensitive tummies or food allergies as you know exactly what's going in to the treat.

The recipe calls for three simple ingredients: Flour, Corn Meal, and a can of Tuna (light chunk in water)

Mix all the ingredients together. Add water if needed. Work the dough until it's a sticky play-doh texture.

Bake at 350 until they start to brown. The treats will be hard.

Simon really liked the treats, but they were a bit big for him. I ended up breaking the treats apart when I gave them to him. The recipe makes a ton of treats! Unless you have a lot of pets, get ready to give some away. Ours ended up molding before we got through them all. You could possibly freeze some of the dough or baked treats, but I haven't tried that so I can't vouch for that.

Season of Gratitude

Today is Simon's birthday!

When we first decided to sell our chinchilla, Bruce, and get a new pet, we were looking for an animal to be at it's core a companion animal. Well, we got Simon. He may not always be the most kind and loving cat, and I think I've sacrificed more flesh to his wrath than the ancient Greeks, but I am incredibly grateful for him.

He has his moments of sweetness, and these are growing. If nothing else, he has made it much more bearable to be home these past weeks. He's entertaining and engaging and keeps me on my toes. While he might not be the most amiable pet, he is still my little furry companion.

Season of Gratitude

Today God has flooded my life with things for which to be grateful. Blessings upon blessing have fallen from the skies! My heart is drenched in thanksgiving. Yes people, it has finally rained in Abilene!

We've been in a drought for quite some time and although one storm won't fix it, it's a nice start. It's the first really big storm since the winter and I think my soul needed the clouds.

On a side note, I think this is probably the first really big storm that Simon remembers. He's a little freaked out. He's going from running around playing to pinning his ears back and attacking the lamp. I've had my fair share of bites this morning too. Hopefully he can learn to love the rain like I do.
