I started baking these salmon and coconut cream cat treats after my senior rescue, Oliver, lost interest in his usual snacks. The combination of flaky salmon and rich coconut cream won him over immediately, and now he waits by the oven every time I make a batch.

Making these treats at home allows you to control the ingredients, ensuring your cat gets the best. These Salmon & Coconut Cream Cat Treats are easy to prepare and ideal for rewarding your beloved pet.

Homemade Salmon & Coconut Cream Cat Treats

Homemade salmon and coconut cream cat treats shaped like fish, with a cat in the background eagerly watching.

Once these are completely cool, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge where they keep for about a week. Oliver gets one or two as a reward after his evening grooming, and the batch of twelve to fifteen usually lasts us just under two weeks.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh cooked salmon, flaked
1/2 cup coconut cream
1/4 cup oat flour (or ground oats)
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon fresh catnip (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Ensure the salmon is cooked and flaked, and gather your other ingredients.
Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flaked salmon, coconut cream, oat flour, and beaten egg. Mix until well combined. If using, stir in catnip for added appeal.
Form Treats: Use a spoon to scoop small amounts of the mixture and form them into bite-sized shapes or use cookie cutters for fun shapes.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the treats on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until they are firm and slightly golden.
Cool and Serve: Let the treats cool completely before serving them to your cat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
