Sofie Kelly | Magical Cats Stinky Crackers
Food plays an important role in the Magical Cats
Mysteries. Kathleen Paulson can often be found making treats for her
friends as well as for her two cats, Owen and Hercules. The boysβ favorite treat
has to be Kathleenβs homemade sardine crackers, also known as Stinky Crackers.
If you decide to try these for your own cat, please remember thereβs a reason
theyβre called Stinky Crackers. You might want to open a window (or two) when
theyβre cooking.
Stinky Crackers
- 1 can sardines packed in spring water
- 1 T shredded cheddar cheese*
- 1 cup fine, whole wheat bread crumbs
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 T vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mash the sardines in their liquid in a medium bowl. Add egg, oil, cheese and
bread crumbs. Mix well. Mixture will be crumbly. Shape into 24 small balls. If
the mixture will not hold together add water, 1 tablespoon at a time until it will.
Place balls on an ungreased baking sheet and press down lightly on the top of
each one with a fork. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until golden. Watch carefully;
they burn easily. Cool and store in an air-tight container
*Many cats are lactose-intolerant. The cheese may be eliminated or replaced
with lactose-free cheese.
Check with your vet before feeding these or any other treat to your pets. These
crackers should only be an occasional splurge for your cat. (No real cat
should eat the way Owen and Hercules do!)

Cats
Magical cats Owen and Hercules and resourceful librarian Kathleen Paulson
are back in the latest from the New York Times bestselling author of
Faux Paw...
Kathleen is excited to meet three old pals of her beau, Detective Marcus
Gordon, while they visit charming Mayville Heights on business. But the reunion
is cut short when one of the friends is killedβand the evidence points toward
Marcus as the murderer.
Though it seems she doesnβt know all of Marcusβs secrets, Kathleen is sure
heβs no killer. With his suspect status sidelining him from investigating the
case, itβs up to Kathleen and her feline partners-in-crime to find whoever is
framing Marcusβand make sure the good detective hasnβt found his last clue.
