Ingredients
Instructions
Check the salmon carefully and remove all bones, skin, and any seasoned edges.
Flake the salmon with a fork until the pieces are very small and soft.
Mash the cooked oats with pumpkin to make a light binder.
Fold the salmon into the binder and add water a few drops at a time if the mixture feels dry.
Shape tiny pea-size bites, keeping them small enough for your cat to chew comfortably.
Serve one small bite as an occasional treat and keep the rest chilled.
Stop serving if your cat shows vomiting, diarrhea, itching, or any unusual reaction.
