Homemade Cat Treat Recipes
Making something for your cat is a small act of love, and when they actually like it, it feels like winning an award. Homemade cat treats are simpler than most people think: a little fish or chicken, an egg to bind it, and a pinch of catnip for the cats who care.
This is our full collection of cat recipes, organized by type. Browse baked bites for the treat jar, frozen treats for warm days, and lick mat spreads for calm moments. Every recipe keeps the ingredient list short, so you know exactly what's in it.
Common questions
What ingredients should never go in cat treats?
Keep onion, garlic, chives, grapes and raisins, chocolate, xylitol, alcohol and caffeine out of cat treats. Many cats are also sensitive to large amounts of dairy.
How many treats can my cat have?
A common guideline is to keep treats to about 10% of your cat's daily calories. In practice that's just a few small pieces a day.
How do I make broth for cats?
Simmer plain chicken or white fish in water with no salt, onion or garlic. Strain it, let it cool, and skim off the fat. Serve a spoonful over your cat's food, or freeze it in small cubes as a cool treat.
Is catnip safe in homemade treats?
Dried catnip is commonly used in cat treats. Not every cat reacts to it, and that's normal. The treat will still taste good without the effect.
