After a quick search on Pinterest, I found a popular recipe using just a few ingredients. It’s simple, quick, and your cat will love it! Here’s what you’ll need:

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drain the tuna and shred the cheese.
  2. Mix the Batter
    In a small bowl, combine the tuna, egg white, flour, and shredded cheese. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape the Cake
    Grease a small, oven-safe ramekin or cupcake tin. Spoon the batter into the mold and press it down to shape it into a small “cake.”
  4. Bake
    Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until set. Let it cool completely before serving it to your cat.

Spoiling Your Cat with Fun Treats

We didn’t stop at the cake! To make Mittens’ day extra special, we gifted him a cat treat dispenser toy. This interactive toy was a hit—it kept him entertained for hours with its treat-dispensing antennae and wobbly base. It’s a great addition to any cat’s birthday celebration.

Making it a Family Celebration

While Mittens enjoyed his tuna cake, the kids weren’t exactly keen on sharing. To make it a true family celebration, I baked a batch of cupcakes for us humans. We also made extras to share with our neighbor’s cat, spreading the joy beyond our own home.
