As pet parents, we love to spoil our furry companions, but the truth is, most Thanksgiving dishes aren’t cat-safe. Heavy seasonings, onions, butter, and sauces can upset their sensitive systems.
That’s why we’ve created a few simple, wholesome recipes that bring your cat into the Thanksgiving spirit — using safe ingredients, balanced nutrition, and a whole lot of love.
Perfect for: A protein-rich, festive snack
½ cup cooked turkey breast (plain, shredded)
2 tbsp pumpkin puree (unsweetened, not pie filling)
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp oat flour or rice flour
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix all ingredients into a soft dough.
Shape into tiny bite-sized pieces.
Bake for 12–15 minutes until firm and lightly golden.
Cool completely before serving.
Why it works: Lean turkey offers high-quality protein, pumpkin supports digestion, and the FreezPaw Chicken Paste adds irresistible flavor and natural hydration.
🩷Pro Tip: Use any festive mold — little pumpkins or leaves make it more festive & fun!
Perfect for: A soft, nourishing Thanksgiving side dish
¼ cup flaked, cooked salmon (boneless)
¼ cup mashed sweet potato
1 tsp olive oil or salmon oil
Mix all ingredients in FreezBow Cat until smooth and creamy.
Chill or freeze for a soothing, longer-lasting licking enjoyment.
Why it works:Salmon offers omega-3s for skin and coat health, sweet potato adds gentle fiber, and FreezPaw’s Salmon Paste enriches texture and flavor naturally.
🩷Pro Tip: Add a spoonful of fish broth if your cat prefers softer textures.
1 tbsp unsalted peanut butter (no xylitol)
2 tbsp mashed banana
1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt or goat milk
Blend or mash all ingredients until smooth.
Spoon into your FreezLove or any other FreezPaw lick mat.
Freeze for 1–2 hours and let your cat enjoy a creamy, cooling treat.
🩷Pro Tip: Divide into small portions and freeze — perfect for slow licking or enrichment play later.
Keep cats away from turkey bones, gravy, stuffing, onions, garlic, and chocolate — all unsafe.
Offer plain, cooked meats only — no seasoning or oil.
Keep portions small — cats’ systems are sensitive to excess.
Introduce new foods slowly and watch for any reactions.
