Mix all ingredients together. Knead and shape into crescents, rounds or sticks for dogs.
For cats, roll out and cut into narrow strips or ribbons. Bake 25-30 minutes in a moderate oven (350

Bake for about 2 hours, until the meat is quite dry. Remove the meat from the oven and place another sheet of foil over it.

20 Cats Kibbles
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups soy flour
1 cup wheat germ
1 cup cornmeal
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup brewer's yeast
1 (15 ounce) can mackeral
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cod liver oil
2 cups of water,or as needed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, mash the mackeral into small pieces. Mix in the oil and water. Add the mackeral mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. The dough is tough, so use your hands. Roll dough out to about 1/4" thickness and cut into 1/4" bits, using a knife or pizza cutter. Mound the bits onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 25 minutes. During baking, occasionally toss the bits with two wooden spoons, so they brown evenly. Turn the heat off and allow the treats to cool thoroughly before removing and storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This recipe freezes very well for longer storage.

I found all of these recipe's through searching the web. I do plan on baking my cat treats and then selling them over the internet once I can make a recipe that all cats will like. I have already made one up, but my cat tigger(who will eat anything) is the only one who actually liked it either than my dog!
