Lick Mat Recipes for Cats
Lick mats are a lovely way to slow down a speedy eater or give your cat something calm to do during grooming, nail trims or a busy evening. A thin layer of something tasty pressed into the grooves goes a long way.
These spreads use cat-friendly ingredients like wet food, plain fish and a little plain pumpkin. Start with a very thin layer, and try freezing the mat if your cat likes to take their time.
Common questions
What can I put on a lick mat for my cat?
Wet cat food, plain mashed tuna or salmon, a little plain pumpkin puree, or meat baby food made without onion or garlic all spread well.
How much should I spread on a cat lick mat?
A very thin layer is enough. Cats need much smaller portions than dogs.
Can I freeze a cat lick mat?
Most silicone mats are freezer safe, and a short freeze makes the treat last longer. Check your mat's care instructions.
