Prep Time 30 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of drinking water
  • 4 tbsp Plain flavorless and sugar-free beef or fish gelatin
  • 2 cups Cat-friendly chicken stock or bone broth (no salt or any seasonings used)
  • Meat scraps optional
  • Carrot cuttings optional

Instructions
 

  • Place gelatin in a glass bowl and add room temperature water. Let it hydrate for about 5-10 minutes until you see how it becomes an even clear color and gains volume.
  • In a pot, add 2 cups of cat-friendly chicken stock, meat scraps, and carrots. Let it boil until the carrots are properly cooked.
  • Incorporate the boiling stock into the gelatin, stirring well. You can do this by hand or use a blender or a food processor for a different consistency. If you leave the carrot and meat scraps whole, please make sure the pieces are small enough for the cat to eat safely.
  •  Let it sit until the gelatin starts thickening.

Notes

Cat-friendly chicken stock or bone broth is made without adding salt or any other condiments, with special attention to avoiding onions and garlic, which are toxic to cats.
