Crunchy Tuna Cat Treats

These little cat cookies are the perfect treat for your feline friend - easy and inexpensive to whip up, and probably much healthier and lower in salt than commercial pet treats. My kitty loves them! They are the purrrfect way to show your cat you love him/her this Christmas :)

• Ready In: 3 hrs 40 mins
• Yields: 1 jar treats

Ingredients

• 210  g tuna in vegetable oil
• 3⁄4 cup  rye flour (normal whole meal flour is fine)
• 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh parsley
•  water

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
2. Mix tuna, rye and parsley together well, breaking up tuna pieces so they are soft and mushy.
3. Add water gradually, as is needed to make a firm dough that is easy to mould into a small shape.
4. Roll a teaspoon-sized amount of the dough between your palms, creating a small round ball. Flatten the ball so it becomes disc-shaped.
5. Repeat process until all mixture is used, placing each biscuit disc onto a lightly greased oven tray.
6. Bake in your 180°C oven for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Turn oven off, though leave tray in until oven has completely cooled. (This will help to dry out the biscuits further, and therefore help the treats keep for longer).
8. When biscuits have cooled completely, they are ready to serve. Handy as an occasional treat, and/or an addition to your pet's everyday dry food.
9. Store treats in an air-tight container in the pantry.
