3. Ingredients to Include and Avoid
Safe Ingredients: Lean meats, fish, eggs, small amounts of catnip, broccoli, banana, green beans, pumpkin, carrot, apples, cereal.
Avoid These: Onion, garlic, chocolate, and anything with high salt or sugar content, alcohol, raisins, grapes, tea, coffee.
4. Tips for Treat Storage
Homemade treats can last about 1 to 2 works in the refrigerator once vacuumed and sealed. Food placed in an air-tight container can only last 3 to 5 days. Therefore to preserve freshness, we suggest storing your cat treats in vacuum-sealed containers.
Another wise technique to follow this festive season is to portion your cat treats accordingly. Instead of making large quantities, we suggest that you have portion control over cat treats and create smaller batches. You can add a variety of smaller batches and store them sealed in the refrigerator for longer use.
5. Ways to Present Cat Treats During Christmas
Have your cat excited this festive season by storing their cat treats in a special container with their name on it. This container can be reused alerting your cat that their treats are ready to be served. You can choose to serve their cat treats on a special cat plate or in a festive box for your cat to enjoy! To add a fun element to the entire process, you can always choose to hide your cat treats under the Santa hat or in a Christmas puzzle making them feel intrigued every time they track the scent down! This can be a homemade replacement for a cat treat toy!
