Reviews
Both of my cats love! It was my baby boys 2nd bday the other day and I whipped this up this morning to sing to him. As “icing” I spread IAMS brand pate wet food on top. It tends to form a little crust on the outside, my cats prefer the inside because it’s softer, so I just break it up for them and let them eat what they choose. Too cute. Such an easy recipe and I had so much fun making it for my Bodhi 2 candles bc he’s 2!
My cats did not like even after I cut it up.
My cat liked this recipe. I have made this recipe before my cat still liked it, but the second time I used wet cat food not tuna, and my cat liked it even more. Over all this is a good recipe but I do recommend swapping the tuna with something if your cat doesn’t like tuna as much.
This was fully enjoyed by all my fur babies! It smells as expected, but is definitely worth it! Easy to make. I made it as a round cake and used whipped cream cheese as the frosting. Even colored some and put them in a mold to freeze to get paw prints.
For icing on the cake, my cat loves Churu likable cat treats.
We changed the prawns to mushrooms or cat treats. Our cat loved this recipe, and she ate all of it! Which is very rare.
My cat really enjoyed this recipe (though I did modify it a bit.)
So easy to make! Yoko loved it! I will definitely make this again next year!
Our cat celebrated his third birthday today. We made these cakes for him and he absolutely loved them! We sprinkled the top with catnip and some of his treats.
Amazing recipe! Our kitties absolutely loved it! Since it was all for the cats, we put in some of their treats as well into the prepared batter before baking. Though I have to mention that not all of our cats ate their shares – but the majority did. So, in the end, it’s all down to what your cat does and doesn’t prefer.
Pros: -Easy to make. -Kittens and cats were intrigued. -Good for kitty birthdays. Cons: -Smells deathly (unless you enjoy tuna stench). Recommended: -Mix this VERY well. -Use cupcake wrappers for easy removal.
made a few adjustments but my cat loves them. I make them twice a year, her birthday and on “adoption day” anniversary. I add some deli ham and garnish it with a little bit of cat nip!
Cooked nice
Cat went crazy for it! Actually started getting territorial about it haha. Only concern is how sticky it is. Towards the end, he started freaking out and was using his paws to get it out of his mouth. Had to use my finger and saw it was collecting at the roof of his mouth. I would use less flour! Other than that, he loved it!
Wouldn’t recommend even bothering with this, just open a can of tuna, sprinkle with a little cheese and be done. It stuck together like crazy so I had to break it up and even so, all my cat wanted was the tuna which was engulfed in the egg and flour mixture.
they loved it. i removed the cheese . also this recipe yields 3
This worked out perfectly! I ended up chopping up the shrimp and making it into the shape of a 2. Thanks for the recipe!
Kit Kat loved it, I never thought I’d be making a cake for my cat but she just defended me against a raccoon and here we are
I didn’t have the shrimp so I put sardines on it and he loved it
I will definitly make it again my cat loved it.
Did not add the shrimp.
