Notes
Catnip: Catnip is generally safe and enjoyable for cats, but not all cats have a strong reaction to it. If your cat is not interested in catnip or if they have any adverse reactions, you can omit it from the recipe. Water: The amount of water needed may vary depending on the consistency of the dough. Add water gradually until the dough comes together and is easy to handle. Be cautious not to add too much water, as it can make the dough too sticky. Flour: Adjust the amount of flour as needed to achieve the right texture. The dough should be firm enough to roll out and cut into shapes without being too sticky. Treat size: Consider the appropriate treat size for your cat. If you have a small cat or kitten, you may want to make smaller treats to ensure they can easily consume them. Storage: Store the treats in an airtight container to maintain their freshness. They can be kept at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
