Homemade Cat Grass Cookie Tutorial: A Natural Treat for Your Cat's Gut Health

Cat grass is rich in fiber, which can help cats expel hairballs and regulate their intestines and stomach. Made into small cookies, it is both a healthy snack and a caring gut care helper. This salt - free and additive - free cat grass cookie is suitable for cats over 3 months old, and the method is simple and easy to follow.

Ingredient Preparation (Makes about 30 small cookies)

Basic ingredients: 100g low - gluten flour (easily digestible), 1 egg (protein source), 50g cat grass (fresh or freeze - dried)

Nutritional additives: 15g goat milk powder (to increase palatability), 20 - 30ml water (to adjust humidity)

Preparation Steps

1. Cat grass processing: Wash fresh cat grass and drain it, retain the tender leaves and stems, and chop them into 0.5cm segments; soak freeze - dried cat grass in a small amount of warm water to soften, then drain and chop. If your cat is exposed to cat grass for the first time, you can reserve 10g first to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort caused by excessive consumption.

2. Dough preparation: Put low - gluten flour and goat milk powder in a large bowl, crack in the egg and stir into flocculent. Add the chopped cat grass, and gradually add water to knead into a smooth dough (the dough should not stick to your hands). Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flour to fully absorb water.

3. Shaping and baking: Roll the dough into a 0.3cm thick sheet, and use cookie cutters to press out cute shapes like small fish and stars (if there is no cutter, you can cut it into 1.5cm square pieces). Line a baking pan with oil paper, leave 1cm between the cookie blanks, and put them into the preheated oven.

4. Baking parameters: Bake in the middle layer of the oven at 160℃ for 15 - 18 minutes. In the last 3 minutes, you can adjust the temperature to 170℃ to make the edges slightly browned (pay attention to observe to avoid burning). Let it cool to room temperature after taking it out of the oven, and the cookies will become crispy.

Feeding and Storage Tips

For the first feeding, give 1 - 2 pieces each time, observe the cat's defecation, and feed normally only after confirming there is no loose stool or vomiting. Do not feed more than 3 times a week.

The cookies need to be sealed and placed in a cool and dry place. They can be stored at room temperature for 7 days and in the refrigerator for up to 15 days. If they get damp, you can put them back in the oven at 100℃ for 5 minutes to crisp them again.

For cats allergic to eggs, 50ml goat milk powder can be used instead of eggs. If the dough is not moist enough, increase the amount of water.

It is recommended to choose cat - safe grass varieties such as wheat grass and oat grass for cat grass, and avoid using unknown wild herbs.

Watching your cat munch on the crispy cat grass cookies happily, it can not only satisfy their appetite but also quietly care for their gut health. This is the happiness of homemade snacks.
