Tempting Treats
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I'm not sure why the Tuna recipe was not successful for one reviewer, because it is one of my cats' favorites (I have 4 finicky felines). Of the 4 recipes they have tried, the Tuna treats are definitely at the top of their list. While tuna is not my favorite smell, I didn't find it too offensive once cooked and the cats went wild (they even sat up, which is usually reserved for cheese treats). I would recommend this cookbook for any cat owner who wants wholesome treats that are not crammed with fillers like the store-bought ones are. I agree that this is a nice gift idea for any cat lover and have an extra copy on-hand just for that occasion.

I found this cat treat cookbook to be just delightful! The recipes are fast, easy, and healthy too. What a fun way to show your cats they are special to you. There is even a recipe for catnip tea. The artwork adds a charming touch. This little book would make a great gift for any cat lover on your list.
my cats are finicky

After years of buying kitty treats from the store only to have at least one (out of three of my cats) turn up their noses, I decided to try making my own. With the help up this book I have finally come up with a couple of recipes to make treats that all my cats love (and make extra to give to friends with cats). I also feel good that that I can control the quality and freshness of the ingredients.
