- If you’ve never given your cat homemade treats before, introduce them slowly. In other words, don’t feed your cat more than one or two the first day you make them.
- Check with your veterinarian before making these and feeding them to your cat. Your vet can advise you on any specialty needs your cat might have.
- Don’t season these. Cats don’t need seasonings like salt and pepper to enjoy these.
