Basic Lamb and Rice Dinner for Cats

Be sure to add your cat’s daily supplements to each meal in the quantities recommended for each on the packages. A good quality vitamin/mineral supplement. A bone meal supplement. This can be either nutritional grade bone meal, finely crushed eggshells or a calcium lactate supplement. 250 to 500 mg. of taurine per day. Many owners will also provide oat grass or wheat grass plants for their cats to chew on. (Check to make sure that the grass you select is not toxic to cats. Several are.) Preparation and cooking times are approximate.

Ingredients

• 2  cups brown rice
• 4  cups water
• 2  lbs ground lamb
• 2  tablespoons flax seed oil

Directions

1. Heat water in medium saucepan until boiling. Stir in rice. Reduce heat. Cover and simmer for about 30-40 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, crumble ground lamb. Cook over medium heat just until lamb is cooked through but not browned. Remove from heat. Drain and rinse to remove excess fat. Allow to cool completely.
3. In a large mixing bowl or in the same large skillet combine rice, lamb and flaxseed oil. Stir to combine completely.
4. Package into individual meals. This should keep for 3 days in the refrigerator. Freeze any meals that won’t be used within that time.
