🧺 Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 60g cooked plain chicken breast (shredded, no skin or bone)
- 1 tbsp plain cooked pumpkin purée
- A pinch of dried catnip (optional)
👩🍳 Method
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line with silicone cups.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, pumpkin purée and catnip until evenly combined.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Cool completely before serving — offer one small bite at a time as a treat, not a meal.
Nutrition: Eggs are a complete protein rich in the amino acids cats need, while a little pumpkin adds gentle fibre to support digestion. The soft, moist texture makes these bites easy for kittens, seniors and cats with dental sensitivity to eat.
📝 Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month. Serve at room temperature. Keep treats to no more than about 10% of your cat's daily calories.
⚕️ 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.
