I often make handmade gifts for members of my family. I’ve made teacup candles, cushions and blankets. Today I’m making something a little different but just as fun – homemade cookies for cats from Hill’s dry pet food. We’ve only ever fed our cats Hill’s (it gives them super glossy coats!) so I thought it would be great to make some shaped cookie treats with my children for them.

Ingredients needed to make homemade cookies for cats:
2 cups of Hill’s dry cat food
1 cup of water
Cookie cutter
Baking tray

How to make homemade cookies for cats:

We buy our Hill’s pet food from Pets At Home which is the UK’s largest pet supplies retailer.

There are lots of varieties but we always buy the Light version for adult cats.

Measure out your ingredients and whizz the dry cat food in the blender to make into crumbs.

My daughter loved using the noisy mixer!

It took longer than I thought to turn the dry food into powder. We added small amounts of the water into the blender to prevent the dry food from flying around and eventually it turned into a sticky dough.

We added more water until it was a biscuit consistency then used spoons to take out small amounts and placed them on our ungreased baking tray. We used a Hello Kitty cookie cutter to make some cat shaped cookies and then baked them in the oven for 30 minutes at Gas Mark 4.

They kept their shape perfectly and looked great when they had cooled down. Our cats were a little surprised to receive their Hill’s cookies but they went down a treat!

What do you think? Have you ever made treats for your pets?
