Cats can be tough to please, but there’s nothing a delicious treat can’t fix! Here are a few quick and easy recipes that can be made from ingredients you probably already have!
Tuna Bites
Recipe from CatVills
Ingredients
1 can tuna in oil, undrained
¾ cup coconut flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 egg
Instructions
Blend tuna and eggs in a food processor.
Combine flours and tuna mixture in a bowl.
Use your hands to knead the dough. Chef’s Tip: Fold the dough in half and make two separate balls before rolling them out.
Sprinkle wheat flour on a flat surface and easily flatten out dough with hand then use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough to about ¼ inch thick. Roll the dough in small, short rolling motions instead of longer, harder rolling motions as you would a pie crust.

Heat oven to 330 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for about 15 minutes or until hard.
