What we cats really like during the colder months
Meow my dears,
when it gets cold outside, things in the food bowl can definitely be a bit cozier.
In winter, we cats don’t need magic tricks or miracle cures –
but rather warmth, good scents, sufficient fluids, and honest ingredients.
I’ll show you my favorite winter treats and food ideas that are easy to integrate into everyday life.
You can find the exact recipes on our own recipe pages. 🐾
🐟 Warm tuna broth – my winter classic
When it’s cold, I love having something warm in my bowl.
A gentle tuna broth smells intense, provides fluids, and is happily accepted by many cats.
Why I like it:
- warm & soothing
- intense aroma
- ideal on cold days
👉 You can find the full recipe on our tuna broth recipe page.
🍗 Gentle chicken bites – a little winter treat
Chicken always works.
Especially in winter, I like it served slightly warm – without any spices at all.
Why it’s perfect in winter:
- pleasantly soft
- easy to portion
- also suitable as a food topping
👉 We’ve put together the exact preparation for you on our chicken treat recipe page.
🐟 Omega Extra – small but mighty
In winter, food can be a bit more substantial.
A tiny drop of oil is enough to enhance your food.
Bobbel's tip:
- dose very sparingly
- not daily
- quality over quantity
👉 You can find more about this in our oil guide for cats.
🧊 Dried meat snacks – entertainment for cold days
When things get quiet outside, you can chew inside.
Dried meat pieces are a great snack for in between meals.
Why I love them:
- natural entertainment
- intense flavor
- no nonsense
👉 We show you which varieties are suitable on our snack recipe page.
🍲 Warm wet food – underestimated but genius
A little trick with a big effect:
warm up your wet food slightly in winter (e.g., in a warm water bath).
Why it works so well:
- smells more intense
- is eaten more eagerly
- just feels cozier
😼 Sometimes it’s the little things that make the biggest difference.
❌ What I don't need in my bowl in winter
Honestly:
- no sugar
- no milk
- no seasoned leftovers
- no "miracle additives"
Winter feeding should remain simple, honest, and natural.
😼 Bobbel’s winter food conclusion
“In winter, I love warm food, good scents, and small extras.
Nothing more – but nothing less.”
With a few simple adjustments, winter in the food bowl becomes just as cozy as my favorite spot on the sofa. 🐾
