Cats are real sweet tooths. Festivals like Christmas are the ideal occasion to cook something delicious for your cat. You can easily copy these special recipes for cats and prepare your cat a real feast.
On public holidays and special occasions, our cats can of course also be spoiled a bit. How about a delicious, home-cooked meal? Antipasti, spring rolls, turkey or treats: there is something for every taste in these 12 recipes for cats!
Attention: Cats should only get this food from time to time, it should remain something special. Because cats have a specific nutritional requirement that cannot be covered by these recipes alone. The basic food should always be complete food from a specialist shop, or – if you are barfed – a diet tailored to the cat.
