It's Raining Cat and Dog Balls! (Treats)
By: Sandi (From CA)
Oct 13, 2008
I combined a couple of favorite recipes to come up with this ground beef-based treat and my cats loved them. Sweet Pea skipped the cut up pieces and went straight for the balls. I managed to photograph her attacking them, then redirected her to the more appropriate-sized portion for delicate little girl kitties. 
12 1-inch balls
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup dry milk or powdered milk
- 1/2 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/4 lb lean ground beef
Directions
1
Mix dry ingredients together, then stir in honey and ground beef until well combined.2
Form 3/4-inch to 1-inch balls and bake on greased cookie sheet or silicon sheet at 350F for 10-15 minutes or until cooked through. They might cook fast, so check frequently.3
Cool completely and serve. Break up large pieces for tiny cat mouths.4
Mrrrrow?.

Sandi, This recipe gets an 8 paws up from the "kids". Rascal, the pound puppy, was actually pawing at the oven as these baked. BeeGee,the once feral cat, being the queen, just sat patiently waiting until I served her...she had seconds. I made them into 3/4 inch balls and they were perfectly done in 10 minutes. I turned them half way through. I did add a splash of fat-free evaporated milk to make them easier to form, as I used very lean beef. My furbabies send big kisses your way.
