Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, cooked chicken, and mashed carrots. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Add the ground rolled oats, egg, and olive oil to the mixture. Stir until the dough forms a cohesive mass. If the mixture feels too wet, add a small amount of additional ground oats until the consistency is manageable.
Using clean hands, shape the dough into small bite-sized pieces or roll it into small balls, approximately the size of a pea or a marble.
Place the shaped treats onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between them.
Bake the treats in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and lightly browned on the edges.
Allow the treats to cool completely before offering them to your cat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
