questions about treats for kittens?

praline · 06-03-2011, 07:55 AM

Hi! I was reading through these recipes and really like the idea of my daughter and I baking treats for our new kitten (we get her Tuesday). I am a total advocate of positive reinforcement and I want lots of teeny tiny treats on hand to help our new kitten learn the ropes of the house.
I am also worried that some of these might be too harsh on her young tummy!

What treats would you suggest we try and make for an 8 week old kitten? These treats will be used as positive reinforcement training and to help her adjust to us and the house.

I'd just dehydrate some meat

Just plain chicken (no seasoning) is a biiiig hit with my cats as a treat. They love it raw or cooked.

Raw meat or (maybe) catnip

Uhhh, well maybe some freeze-dried chicken aswell?
Maybe chopped.

My 10 week old kitten goes NUTS for raw chicken right now. Tiny bits the size of the end of your little finger... Cooked would be great on his plate too, although I've not done that more than once so far - safer for a child to give, anyways.

I try to keep him from other human treats, although he stole some rolled-oats oatmeal the other day!
