Small treatGenerally suitable when plain and properly prepared

Why it matters

Cats Protection says cooked, boneless chicken may be offered as part of a cat's treat allowance, but it is not a complete diet by itself.

How to serve it

Remove skin, fat and every bone. Do not add salt, oil, gravy, onion, garlic or seasoning.
