Baked Chicken Chews

This recipe is purr-fect for cats with classic taste, who love a baked delight to chew on after a long day. They also store fabulously, so can be popped in an airtight container and enjoyed for up to a month, or frozen for up to 6 months. Combining the tastiness of our Chicken Mousse meal with simple ingredients from your cupboard, these easy and yummy treats will have your kitty begging for more. 

Ingredients 

1 Tilly & Ted Chicken Mousse Can

2 tsp of coconut oil

1 egg

2 tbsp of water

95g of rice, cooked

Instructions

1) Set your oven to 140C fan, and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

2) Blend the Chicken Mousse, egg, oil, and water until smooth, using a food processer or blending stick.

3) Mix in the cooked rice until fully combined.

4) Spread the mixture across the baking sheet. It should be around 1cm thick.

5) Pop into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

6) Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Slice into bite sized squares, and pop back in the oven for 8 minutes or until fully cooked.

Frozen Pawsicles

If your cat needs to cool off, try our frozen pawsicle recipe for a refreshing summer treat. This simple recipe provides a stimulating snack that will occupy your sweaty kitty, and can be stored in the freezer all summer long. These also make use of our Salmon Mousse meal to give your cat all the tasty nutrients they need, as well as being grain and gluten free!

Ingredients 

1 Tilly & Ted Salmon Mousse Can

1/2 an apple, chopped and boiled

2 tbsp of water

Stick shaped treats (optional)

Instructions

1) Pop the apple, Salmon Mousse, and water into a food processer and blend until smooth. Add more water if the mixture seems too thick, or if you want a larger water ratio in your treats.

2) Pour the mixture into ice lolly moulds, or large ice cube trays. Insert stick shaped treats into the treats as handles, otherwise you can use real sticks or just leave the treats as they are. 

3) Put in the freezer for around 4 hours, or until fully frozen.

Hairballs-be-gone Cookies

For a warm and cosy snack, try our hairballs-be-gone cookie recipe so your cat can enjoy a tasty baked treat alongside you.

Tuna Oaties

Take a trip under-the-sea, and serve your cat the best fish dish around with these oatie treats. These gluten free snacks are perfect for fish-fan kitties, and provide a yummy and stimulating texture to make your pussycat purr. Our fan-favourite Tuna and Salmon Mousse meal is used in these oatie snacks, meaning they are also chicken free and gentle on sensitive tummies.

360g of oats

2 eggs

1 tsp of coconut oil

Instructions

1) Set your oven to 180C fan, and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

3) Add in the Tuna and Salmon Mousse, eggs, and oil, and blend together until smooth.

4) Sprinkle your countertop or workspace with flour before tipping out your mixture and kneading into a dough.

5) Sprinkle a rolling pin with flour, and roll out the dough until it's around 2cm thick. Use your favourite cookie cutter, or the rim of a glass to cut out your treats.

6) Pop your shapes onto the baking tray, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy.

Turkey Treatballs

We know some kitties can have a rather distinguished palate, so we've got a recipe for cats who want something slightly different for their tasty treats. Our Turkey Pâté with Chicken and Squash meal provides some zing to these meaty snacks to really get those tummies purring. These treats are best enjoyed warm, so we recommend serving straight after cooling, or they can be popped in the microwave for 15 seconds before your cat enjoys.

Ingredients 

1 Tilly & Ted Turkey Pâté with Chicken and Squash Tetra

1 egg

2 tbsp of ground flaxseed

45g of oats

Flour (optional)

Instructions

1) Set your oven to 180C fan, and line a baking sheet with baking paper.

2) Mix theTurkey Pâté with Chicken and Squash, eggs, and flaxseed together in a bowl. Add the oats and combine. The mixture will need to hold a shape, so add a little flour to thicken if needed.

3) Roll into meatball shapes, and place onto the lined baking sheet. 

4) Bake for 20 minutes or until browned.
