Thanksgiving is all about sharing delicious food and spending time with loved ones, including our feline friends. While many traditional Thanksgiving dishes aren’t safe for cats, you can still create a special, cat-friendly feast that allows your kitty to join in on the celebration. Here are some tasty and safe Thanksgiving recipes that your cat will love.
1. Turkey treats
- What You’ll Need: Cooked, plain turkey breast (no seasoning, butter, or oils).
- How to Prepare: Cut the turkey breast into small, bite-sized pieces. Make sure the turkey is fully cooked and free from bones, skin, and seasoning, as these can be harmful to cats. Serve a few pieces as a treat or mix them into your cat’s regular food for a festive twist.
2. Pumpkin puree
- What You’ll Need: Plain, canned pumpkin (not pie filling).
- How to Prepare: Pumpkin is a great source of fiber for cats and can help with digestion. Simply mix a teaspoon of plain pumpkin puree into your cat’s food. You can also freeze small portions in an ice cube tray for a cool treat.
3. Sweet potato mash
- What You’ll Need: Cooked sweet potatoes (plain, without butter or seasoning).
- How to Prepare: Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth and let them cool. Offer a small spoonful as a treat or mix it with your cat’s regular food. Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins and fiber, making them a healthy addition to your cat’s diet.
4. Green bean bites
- What You’ll Need: Steamed green beans.
- How to Prepare: Steam the green beans until they are soft, then chop them into small pieces. Green beans are low in calories and high in fiber, making them a great snack for cats who need to watch their weight.
5. Catnip stuffing toy
- What You’ll Need: A small catnip-filled toy.
- How to Prepare: While your cat can’t enjoy traditional stuffing, you can keep them entertained with a catnip-filled toy. Scatter a few around the house to give your cat a fun and festive playtime while you enjoy your meal.
By preparing these simple, cat-friendly dishes, you can include your feline friend in the Thanksgiving festivities. Remember to keep portions small and avoid feeding your cat any foods that are high in fat, sugar, or salt. With a little planning, you can create a Thanksgiving meal that both you and your cat can enjoy together.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
