My cat Millie loves her treats. I always buy her the same brand in the supermarket but are they the best for her? No they’re not. There is a way that you can provide your cat healthy, tasty treats. You can make them yourself. With all of the artificial fillers and grains sneaking into mainstream cat food these days, it is important to make sure that your cat is getting the proper nutrition he needs, as well as adding some fresh ingredients into his diet.

Vitacost.com have some provided some healthy cat treats that are easy for you to make at home. I will also give them a try!
