1 small can sardines
1/4 brewers yeast
1/2 cup wheat germ
3 Tbsp. dried catnip
Pre-heat oven to 225 degrees F.
Drain and soak sardines in cool water for 5 minute to remove excess salt. Drain. Add brewers yeast and wheat germ and roll into 24 bite-sized balls, adding more wheat germ if necessary. Roll each ball in dried catnip to coat. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake in a low oven (250F) for 30 - 45 minutes or until very firm. Cool completely and store in an airtight container. Roll one of these in front of your cat and watch it pounce!
1 (8oz.) can tuna in oil
2 cups cornmeal
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 cup dried brewers yeast (optional)
3/4 cup water
2/3 cup oil (use the tuna oil)
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Drain oil from tuna in can and save. Combine cornmeal, flour and yeast in a large bowl; mix well. Add in drained tuna, water and tuna oil; mix thoroughly. Roll dough out onto lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out and mold into little fish (or other) shapes and transfer to an un-greased baking sheet. Bake until light brown on top.

1 cup corn flour or finely ground corn meal
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbs. honey
1/4 cup water
1 Tbs. of oil
3 Tbs. finely grated raw beets
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Mix flours; add oil, water and honey. Mix well. Divide dough in two and add the raw beets to one half, mixing in well to color. Roll each half between your palms into 1/2 inch diameter log, and then twist the red and white logs together to make a striped cane. Roll the cane back and forth under your hands on a lightly floured board until it is 1/4 inch diameter. Cut to desired lengths and shape into small candy cane shapes. Transfer to lightly greased cookie sheet and bake until lightly golden and firm.
Cats in the wild naturally graze on grass, and domesticated felines pets are no exception. Most health food stores, pet supply stores, and bigger grocery stores (in the produce department) carry potted wheat grass. When you bring it home, put a saucer under it to absorb any moisture. You can water it, your cat will love it.It will last about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks. You can trim any dried blades. The grass has enzymes that help cat's digestion, and help dissolve hairballs.
