"My cat loved this! Without adjusting the recipe I doubt he would of though. Instead of water I used cat-sip milk. I then added a chicken squeeze up for the batter and a salmon squeeze up for the frosting. After taking photos I mushed it all up for my cat and he ate it all up and wants more!"

"Cute idea.. my cats licked the icing for about one second and never went back. Threw them away :("
