Fresh-baked cookies are a welcome treat -- why not make some for your cat? Maybe not white chocolate macadamia, but homemade treats that incorporate his favorite flavors into crunchy morsels that are healthier for him than store-bought. Be careful where you store them; your cat might start raiding the cookie jar.
Step 1
Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2
Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
Step 3
Place the tuna in a bowl and flake the chunks apart before mashing them well with a fork.
Step 4
Add the flour to the tuna and continue to mash and mix with the fork.
Step 5
Pour the milk over the flour-tuna mixture, then add in the oil and the egg. Stir together with the fork until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
Step 6
Scoop out a portion of dough with a teaspoon and then divide each portion in two before rolling them into balls.
Step 7
Place tuna dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Step 8
Put the cookie sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 10 minutes before removing from the oven.

Tips
- Always allow cat treats to cool entirely before feeding them to your cat.
- 3 ounces of canned salmon or 2 1/2 to 3 ounces of strained-meat baby food, like ham, beef or chicken, can be substituted for the tuna.
- Add 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the dough for an extra special treat.
