It’s no secret that cats love tuna and Actinidia. So we combined them to make these delicious homemade cat treats. You only need three ingredients to make these treats, two of which you probably already have in your kitchen. And if you own a cat, you probably have some Actinidia as well. Mix the ingredients together and pipe into your desired shape (make sure you have a piping bag you don’t plan on using again, as the tuna smell may linger).

first step
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Step 2
Place the egg whites in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (until the tips are straight).
Step 3
In a food processor or blender, combine the tuna, 1/4 cup beaten egg whites, and catnip. Cover and process or blend until completely smooth (keep the machine running, it will be done in no time). Stir tuna mixture into remaining beaten egg whites.
Step 4
Transfer mixture to a piping bag fitted with a 1/4- to 1/2-inch round or star tip. Pipe 3/4-inch dollops onto prepared baking sheets.
Step 5
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until dry and the treats easily peel from the cookie sheet. Allow treats to cool completely before storing.

*It is important to use solid light tuna, not chunks of light tuna. I found that the chunk light tuna did not sear well as it was soft and moist.
storage: Transfer the cooled treats to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
