Kitty Biscuits

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound liver, organs, or other meat
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
  • 2 cups bran
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Cover meat with cold water and bring to a boil.
  • Immediately lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Remove meat from water and let cool; retain water.
  • When meat is completely cool, chop into 1-inch pieces and grind in food processor, chop in a blender, or process through a meat grinder until it is finely ground.
  • Mix ground meat, bran, oatmeal, and oil, adding the cooking water from the meat as necessary to make a thick dough.
  • Avoid using any more liquid than needed to make a dough that is coarse and just wet enough to work with.
  • Shape the dough into flattened balls or little bone shapes and arrange on an oiled baking sheet.
  • Bake for 3 hours.
  • Then, turn off the heat and let the biscuits cool in the oven to ensure they are hard and crunchy.
  • Let the biscuits air dry for 24 hours and store in an airtight container on the shelf for up to 4 weeks.
  • NOTE: When making this recipe for cats, shape the biscuits into tiny bits for easy chewing.

HINT: A good idea for getting the meat for this recipe is to save organs from chickens, turkeys, etc. in a plastic bag in the freezer until you have enough to make this yummy treat.
