Happy Monday everyone! Today is fun and games day- and ocassionally treat day. I decided the cats have had lots of fun and games with their new toys lately so I would try a treat.
Stunning Keisha posted a recipe for salmon loaf, here is the link to her recipe: http://www.stunningkeisha.com/2014/12/wednesday-wordsalmon.html#more
I decided to give it a try for the kitties so I made some changes. I used a small can of salmon that was already skinned and deboned ( have I mentioned that I am lazy?) and I substituted catnip for parsley.I was kicking myself for that though because it looked darn good and I wanted to try it.
I used a mini disposable meatloaf pan.
As usual, I had some cats that couldn’t get enough of it and others, that walked away from it. Joanie, who eats everything, walked away- I can’t figure cats out. I would say it was about 50/50 on like vs. not interested. Next time, I will make it the correct way for the hubby and I to have.
Don’t forget to comment for a chance to win catnip teabags from Phoebe. Have a nice day everyone!
You bake for your kitties? You wanna give my peeps lessons on bein’ better peeps? My peeps have never once baked for me. MO– USES!
Purrs,
Nissy
Poor Nissy! Actually, you should consider yourself lucky. I have never made anything they prefer over their own food and treats.
WOW! Maybe we all need to place a take out order with you!
🙂 Thank you, but all these kitties prefer their own canned food and treats.
I’ve made salmon loaf using the recipe on the canned salmon and it was really delicious! Sam shows NO interest in it which is find with my husband and me!
Hugs, Pam
FINE….not “find” !!!! 🙂
I knew what you meant 🙂 I do that all the time.
I will have to check out that recipe and see how it compares to the one I got from Keisha.
Mom says that looks darn good. You will need to make one without catnip for yourself. But I don’t enjoy any form of salmon for some reason.
Some of the kitties really liked it straight from the can, we( humans and cats) all have different tastes.
I have almost a cat restaurant, each cat eats something different and from different cans, lol ! If I would cook for them it would be a full time job !
Kitties can be picky 🙂
Baking for Kitties. Whoa! Tell us that’s a new TV show because we’d force our mom to watch it. EVERY DAY!
That would be a great show 🙂
The kitties walked away from baked salmon done especially for them! OH MY!!! It sure looks yummy.
You are a sweetie- I am sure you would have loved it.
You had salmon loaf made just for you? Wow! Can your mom have a talk with Jan? We’d sure like to have some made just for us. 🙂
I will see what I can do–Jan, lease try the recipe that Stunning Keisha posted for salmon loaf.
WOW! That looks YUMMYLICIOUS! Any left for us? 😀 xx Roxy & Tigerlino <3
Yes, but I don’t think it would keep in the mail all the way to you- sorry.
I think my human needs to get busy in the kitchen doing something more that just opening cat food cans – I’ve been wanting that salmon loaf ever since I saw it on CK’s blog.
Yes, she should get to work.
We have a easier one.
Open Can..
Plop in bowl.
Mmm, mmmm good!
(Works with almost all flavors too)
Great idea!
OOooh that looks yummy, what a great idea! Happy Meuw Year to you all!
xo Tux
Thank you and Happy New Year to you too!
Such a good idea to bake for the kitties. That loaf looks good. Our cats are the same, they are all fussy about what flavor etc. Sure would be nice if they would all like the same thing.But they are pretty good. Take care.
SOme of mine are super picky, but most are pretty good too.
Well, it took me 8 years until I began to appreciate a good salmon loaf. You can eat it with the catnip too. It’ll taste different but catnip is edible for humans and has many medicinal purposes. TW used to eat the leaves to cure the nausea when she had migraines. She bought catnip tea but I won’t let her drink it.
Maybe I will try it then. DO you try the catnip tea Cathy Keisha?
I didn’t know that humans could cook for cats!!?? I’ve really missed a trick!! 😉
Some do, but it isn;t worth the effort- most kitties prefer their own food.
How nice of you to bake for your kitties! Well, you have enough kitties to guarantee that at least some will like it. As far as figuring out cats, I wish you the best!
The salmon looks great! It seems that kitties would love it!
Thank you-there is no figuring out cats 🙂
I love salmon…never had it in a loaf though…mom only serves it from a can….she is not very creative.
MOL MOL
Hugs madi your bfff
You should insist she try CK’s recipe.
We’ve never tried homemade treats before… let us rephrase that…. The Mom hasn’t tried homemade treats for us before. She’s too lazy! It sure does look good!
I am the Queen of lazy and I did it so it doesn’t take much effort 🙂
Now you have some lucky kitties! A human who actually cooks for them. Unfortunately I don’t touch anything that is fishy…but Mom L luvs salmon loaf
Then your mom would love this.
We do that too! We like a food at breakfast but not by lunch! Keeps our mommy and daddy guessing!
Good to keep us humans hopping and guessing 🙂
Well, you gave it a try. That’s more than what our mom did for us.
I am sure she would if you are really sweet 🙂
I wouldn’t dare make that at home…I’d be MOBBED by a starving horde.
I only have 2 cats in the kitchen and they helped 🙂
We’d eat it! Yup. Well, Odysseus might not, but then she’s kinda odd. And hey, our Mumsy would have tired it anyway. She even drink catnip tea! Yes, she shares it with us too. It’s way yum. Oliver was delighted you came to visit his post on our blog and that you agree he’s handsome. Thank you. And no, he does not have a girlfriend – none of us have any girlfriends or boyfriends. We do have some long-distance friends though, they are way cool. We’ll see you guys later!
Hugs!
Oliver is handsome and you are all cuties. Thanks for visiting us.
OMG you need to come to UK and cook for us moggies 🙂
I wish I could 🙂

Dezi and Lexi
Yes, I guess I could have eaten it 🙂 Good to know it won’t make me crazy-MOL.
We love the looks of that loaf and maybe Dad would too. Go ahead and have some Nip! Its good fur the mind! MOL
We want to win that tea for Dad!
Timmy
I don’t think your Dad would want this catnip tea- it is stuffed with polyfil and just a little catnip in one and silvervine in the other. You kitties would love it though.
