Homemade Cat Food

"We have a 20-year old cat, Smoki, who is a bit finicky, so I went looking for a recipe he would like. This one is my modification of Recipe #91152, adjusting it to utilize an entire one pound container of chicken livers. (The cat is the only one in the house who likes liver.) I also poach the livers before chopping to make them keep better in the fridge. Smoki loves this recipe, and it is cheaper than premium cat food. Our other cat, Hector, is only 18 months, and he loves it, too."

  1. Don't throw out that tuna water... use it AS part of the cooking water... keep that flavor. Do remember that in the past cats ate mice, rodants... not so much of veggies and carbs. I found with my bowl problem cat that fiber plugged him up terribly.... from stem to stern.
     
  2. Please do not feed this to your cat! Not only is canned tuna bad for cats, Any grains, or rice, or soy, or potatoe is good for your cat. But more important, the recipe does not include taurine which is a CRITICAL amino acid in a cats diet. There are other vitamins and minerals they require as well. Please do some research before making food for your cat. Since you are generally trying to improve your cats diet make sure each ingredient is good for your cat and that you have added the necessary supplements..
