🧺 Ingredients
- 2 small eggs, beaten
- 40 g cooked plain salmon (or tinned in water, no salt), flaked and bones removed
- 1 tbsp plain cooked pumpkin puree
- A pinch of dried catnip (optional)
👩🍳 Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C (fan 160°C) and lightly oil a small ovenproof dish.
- Check the flaked salmon carefully and remove every bone.
- Beat the eggs with the pumpkin, then fold in the salmon and optional catnip.
- Pour into the dish to about 1 cm deep and bake for 12–15 minutes until just set.
- Cool completely, then cut into finger-sized strips.
- Store in the fridge and use within two days.
Nutrition: Cooked egg supplies complete, highly digestible protein while salmon adds omega-3 fatty acids for skin and coat; the soft, moist texture tempts convalescing or picky cats who turn their noses up at dry treats.
📝 Notes
Eggs must be fully cooked — never raw — and salmon should be plain, boneless and unsalted. Rich in protein and moisture, these are a treat or topper, not a replacement for a complete cat food.
⚕️ Before you cook for your cat
- Homemade food must be balanced. Cats need taurine, and deficiency causes heart and eye disease.
- Treat recipes are supplements to a complete diet, not a replacement for it.
- Check any new ingredient against the toxic-foods list, and ask your vet before switching diets.
