anyone have healthy cat treat recipes?

It's true that cats, like humans, need less food as they get older.
I adopted a lovely stray cat from the shelter- she was sleek and about a year old. She ate only dry food, and was very active. Over the next couple of years she slowly gained weight until she was obviously overweight. I had to cut down on her dry food drastically to make her lose weight- which eventually she did and now is an ideal weight again. This was all on dry food with no snacks!

I cant believe people cook with the" Bonito Flakes'...the thought is making my stomach turn.....uck. I don't even like to touch the stuff. I give my cat treats ,because I teach him tricks...he can sit ,and turn around. Not bad for a cat. I tell him to sit pretty ,and he sits with his tail wrapped real nice around his front paws.

Actually the Flakes are the basis of many Japanese dishes but alittle goes a very long way as you can imagine. If you have ever had Miso soup or a nice Japanese Udon (noodle) soup you had soup made from those flakes.

I have used these flakes before I forgot about them. I just might pop into the pet store today and get an extra christmas presant for them. the flakes would be good since you don't have to give them very many.

My dear long-departed Bozo Kitty went absolutely ga-ga over avocado.

Not sure how healthy that is, though.

Giving our pets treats is our way of showing we love them, whether they really love the treats or not. However, there are some cases where I think treats are truly appropriate. I agree with the treats for doing tricks - good incentive.

Now my Teddy cat, all of 15 1/2 years old and with hyperthyroid and three types of heart condition, has to take no less than 1 pill (and up to 3), plus 1 ml of liquid medicine with each meal. He gets a treat each time to thank him for being such a good cat and not tearing me to threads before spitting the pills out. (he actually almost looks like he likes the pills!!)
