 Everyone loves treats, and cats are no exception. Have you ever considered making cat treats for your special cat? Although homemade dog treat recipes have become quite popular, those who love cats have also created treat recipes for their furry family members.

Homemade cat treats are fun and easy to make. Not only can you customize the treats to suit your cat's tastes, but you can also save a considerable amount of money, especially if you have more than one cat.

Consider the following cat treat recipes to make your special cat a variety of homemade cat treats he or she will absolutely love!

Give Homemade Cat Treats as Gifts
If you have friends or loved ones with a cat, make some of the following dry cat treat recipes to give as unique and very special gifts. Put them in a gift basket or in a clear glass jar with a ribbon around it. By making this simple gift, you can show your friends and family that you really care.

You may also consider printing up the homemade cat treat recipes on index cards, punching a hole in the corners of the recipe cards and tying the cat treat recipes to the jar with a long piece of brightly colored yarn.

Personalize Your Homemade Cat Treats
For a cute addition to this special homemade gift, personalize the cat treat recipe cards by stamping your cat's paw print on the corner of each card.

Start by putting an adequate amount of food coloring on a clean damp sponge. If your cat will cooperate, stamp your its paw print on the corner of every card. The food coloring won't harm your cat and will eventually wear off. Keep in mind that you may have to take many breaks before you get all of the cards stamped. Even the most patient cats will likely rebel after the first few stamps.

Add to this whimsical homemade gift by writing a special message on or near the cat print. For example, you could print "Approved by Fluffy " or "From Patch With Love. "

Use your imagination and create a special gift basket or homemade cat treat jar that will bring a smile to the face of the recipient, as well as some loving purrs from his or her cat!
