There’s nothing like a popsicle on a hot summer day. Let your cat join you in this summertime tradition with popsicles made just for her. To add a degree of fun — and authenticity — we used a tray that makes fish-shaped ice cubes.
Ingredients
- 1 6-ounce can of water-based tuna
- 1 tsp. organic catnip, crushed finely
Directions
- Drain the liquid from the tuna into a pouring cup.
- Fillaplasticicecubetrayhalfwaywithbottledwater.
- Lightly sprinkle catnip into each of the cube holders in the tray.
- Filltherestoftheicecubetraywithtunawater.
- Carefully store in your freezer.
- Wait a few hours until the cubes are frozen solidly. Then, plop one tuna popsicle
into your cat’s clean bowl and watch her enjoy this homemade fishy feast.
