A Thanksgiving treat for finicky felines

It’s easy to cook (or bake) for my husband and my dogs: They’ll eat anything I make. Which I enjoy, by the way!

But cats are not so easy.

Xena, our tabby, is particularly finicky but after using her as one of my taste testers for my book “The Ultimate Cat Treat Cookbook” I’ve come up with some recipes that many finicky cats willingly eat. Here is a Thanksgiving treat recipe you can share with your cats.

Thanksgiving Treats

1/2 cup cooked turkey; shredded finely

1 tablespoon finely grated carrots

3 tablespoons unseasoned canned pumpkin

1. Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Puree for 20 seconds.

2. No cooking needed. Serving size is a teaspoon for a kitten or a tablespoon for a cat. Feed from a spoon, your finger, or use as a training treat.

3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Variation: If your cat is hesitant to try new things, add a tablespoon or two of the water from canned tuna fish packed in water to the mixture before you puree it.
