Homemade Cat Treats

Cat Food

A treat is a reward for an achievement. When we humans love treating ourselves with various delicacies, why not give treats to our cats? While you always have the option of purchasing ready-made cat treats, making them by yourself is a very special way of rewarding your kitty and connecting with it.

ABOUT ME


Hi, I'm Jess and this is Nala.

I've loved cats since I was a child and over the years I became obsessed with them. I love all animals and pets, but I have studied cats with special passion. I’ve spent most of my life trying to understand them and why they are the best companions, if they ‘allow’ you to be their friend.

I put this blog together with the aim of sharing things about cats that interest me and that can help you to understand your own…

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find something to interest you along the way.

Jess
