DIY Cat Popsicles

  • Author: Janelle Leeson
  • Yield: 24 popsicles, depending on mold size 1x
Scale

Ingredients

1/2 cup water

2 tbsp canned sardine water, no salt or olive oil added

46 freeze-dried minnows

24 silvervine sticks

Instructions

  1. Distribute dried minnows into molds.
  2. Combine tap water and sardine water, then pour into molds.
  3. If you are using a mold with a top seal (like this style, for example), seal the molds, replacing the human popsicle stick with a silvervine stick. For other molds, just use the silvervine stick as you would a regular popsicle stick.
  4. Place in the freezer for at least four hours or until frozen.
  5. Enjoy!

Notes

  • The molds you use will make a difference because the silvervine stick is round—not flat, like a regular popsicle stick. I used this style, which was perfect for a small batch of popsicles, but it was less than ideal as I wasn’t able to put the full amount of liquid in the mold because of the t-shaped mold and stick fitting. I did some searching and I think this style is a better bet.
  • Whatever mold you use, you may find these popsicles are large for just one kitty. My two cats shared one. You can offer the treat to your cat on a plate or in a bowl and re-freeze the leftovers for another time.
