“Mouse” Burgers!
Karen Nichols

mouseburgersIn their most recent newsletter, Banfield published a recipe for “Mouse Burgers” that you can prepare for your cat occasionally as a special treat.

RECIPE: Mouse Burgers

When your kitty brings you fresh “kill” (her favorite plastic mouse or jingle ball), it’s nice to reward such adventurous and strenuous activity with Mouse Burgers, a special treat for your favorite feline.

As with all treats, this recipe is not meant as a replacement or substitute for your cat’s regular diet. Do not feed it to cats currently on a prescription or restricted diet.

Ingredients:

  • 3 oz. Lean beef or chicken, finely ground
  • 2 T Dry oatmeal
  • 1 Egg, beaten with a fork
  • 1/2 tsp. Fresh catnip, finely chopped OR 1/4 tsp. dried catnip finely chopped. Use only one version of catnip. Do not use both.

Directions

  1. Knead the ingredients together very thoroughly for approximately one minute.
  2. Form the dough into one flat oval.
  3. Broil the dough for 5 to7 minutes, turning frequently until it is cooked completely and the outside is crisp.
  4. Cool for approximately half an hour.
  5. Slice into bite-sized chunks and feed a few pieces at a time to your cat as a treat.
  6. Refrigerate the unused portion; use within three days of cooking.

Banfield veterinarians recommend that this treat only be fed to cats:

  • In small amounts, occasionally.
  • Not as a substitute for an appropriate diet.

And, as always, consult with your veterinarian before making changes to your Pet’s diet.

Our friends over at Greenies.com are offering bunches of fun AND a chance to win a year’s supply of Greenies for your dog or cat. The fun comes in the form of a snowball fight — either a cat against dogs, or a dog against cats: you choose! For those of us who are weathering a 70-degree December, it’s a real treat to be able to toss a few snowballs back and forth! (Watch out for the killer puppies in the trees!) And when you’re done playing, register to win a year’s supply of Greenies! (For Mao, that would be about 900 bags.)

By the way, if you have done so already, click here to order a free Greenies sample from Greenies.com.
