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

1. Drain the liquid from the tuna into a pouring cup.
2. Fillaplasticicecubetrayhalfwaywithbottledwater.

6. 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.
