Title: Make your own cat treats
Post by: Mark on December 21, 2007, 08:15:59 AM
I saw this yesterday when I was shopping. I didn't buy one but might get one next time I am out. You get a little book + a little "cookie cutter" for £4.99. It was sealed in plastic so I couldn't see inside the book

Personally I wouldn't buy any book that you can't have a look to see what's inside, but the theme interests me, I would very much like to give it a go if I find the recipes reasonable.  I was always wondering what they exactly put in those treats (like Whiskas temptations or Pounce), Oliver loves just about any food but he goes totally mental over these morsels.  Does anyone know the secret?

I'm sure they can only be superior to shop bought ones made from fillers, artificial colours etc etc. As they are only treats to be given sparingly, they don't need to be complete so sure they can only be a good thing  ;D

I think the shop ones are usually very high fat which is probably most of the appeal  :sick:

Probably worth a £5 investment

Oh my God.... I've seen everything now.  Move over Jamie Oliver.  Don't let Gordon Ramsey near our cats though - their delicate ears couldn't cope with his mouth!!

Looks like a really good idea - I would like to check it out before buying, pity that isn't possible. It's a much better idea than buying treats - I'm always a bit wary of all the additives. Just hope it doesn't involve baking....I'm a great cook, but I can't bake to save myself! :-[ :evillaugh:
