A small spoonable cat topper with plain chicken and pumpkin, written for occasional variety and careful portions.
Safety first: Keep treats and extras under about 10% of your cat's daily food - the regular diet should do the heavy lifting.
Foods to avoid
Do not add onion, garlic, chives, salt, butter, cream, xylitol, chocolate, alcohol, or cooked bones.
Ingredients
Instructions
Check that the chicken is plain, boneless, skinless, cooked through, and cooled.
Shred the chicken very finely so it is easy for your cat to lick or chew.
Mix pumpkin with warm water until loose and spoonable.
Fold the chicken into the pumpkin mixture without adding salt or seasoning.
Offer a very small spoonful over regular cat food or beside it.
Keep the first serving small and watch your cat for tolerance.
Refrigerate the rest promptly in a covered container.
