I've been feeding a natural and raw diet for about 10 years now for my cats are so healthy, it really is the best diet if you have the time. The only concern I have with this recipe is that it omits a very important thing cats would get in the wild and that is calcium from eating bones. To do this cheaply you can use egg shells that have been dried in the oven for about 5-10 minutes. Then you can let them cool and grind them up in a spice or coffee grinder and add it to their food. Egg shell calcium is much easier for cats to digest. If you're not using fish like she did here you can use some krill oil capsules and break them open in the food as well. Over the years I've picked up tips and tricks from vets that encourage a cooked or raw food diet, thought I would share them with some like minded individuals. Oh another quick note, cats can't eat anything in the allium family which means no garlic, onions, chives, etc. Take care fellow cat parents 😺

Yes!! I can never understand feeding a cat or dog out of a bowl. It seems the food is much more accessible on a flat surface and if it has to have sides, I would choose something with very low sides. I never thot of ‘whisker fatigue’ but that makes total sense.

@@see3217 True, but the cost of cat food for a lot of brands like Natural Balance and Blue Buffalo has gone up by $20+ per case ($70+ Canadian for 24 cans). My cat can only eat low ash, grain free food or he gets urinary infection which is life threatening. It's still cheaper to make cat food than it is to buy the canned premium cat food.

I made this. I increased the recipe because I am feeding 4 on a daily basis. The initial cooking of the ingredients was a breeze, but when it came to deboning and mixing it all together that was a chore. I also ended up with 3 large pots and bowls to clean up. After $40+ and the end of it all none of them would eat it.

You can play around with the recipe. Another recipe I have seen is ground meat, 1 lb. Cook lightly with coconut oil. Add 1 or 2 eggs, some fish in water, sardines, tuna or salmon, or fish oil, some spinach, parsley, or kale. I would add some raw pumpkin. If you try different meats and combinations in smaller 1 lb doses, they can try it. And you won't spend as much time or money. I would also add some crushed freeze dried raw like Stella and Chewy dinner morsels to add essential vitamins to the mix.

For starchy fruit or vegetable (google whatever you are about to blend), an immersion blender with potato masher attachment is recommended. Also, that attachment is for COOKED food. It must be soft. It will create the smoothest puree. Why is a blender bad? It releases the starch and starch is basically glue. A blender has sharp high speed blade that shakes things at a molecular level, causing the release of starch. The attachment involves a thicker-body blade which through drag reduces speed. The blade is also dull. It's made of plastic. Besides this, the attachment has a speed reducer gear. This is the biggest difference. It reduces the high speed of blenders to suit starchy COOKED food. The attachment is an extruder as well, the extrusion helping to avoid over processing which can release the starch. You will see holes in the potato masher attachment. That's how the extrusion is done. Video kzread.info/dash/bejne/h36MvNWGgNSxZMY.html

Heart is an excellent source of taurine. I'd add some anyway though, but gather this is okay. This is actually pretty good. I'm gathering the pumpkin and oatmeal provides= some bulk and vitamins. And the fish some Omega3s. Best fish though might be oily fish like sardines, salmon, mackerel, etc. Luckily they also are cheap (except salmon). Btw, taurine is an amino acid, and present in red meat and hard working muscles like heart, thigh meat, etc.

My 2 cats are so picky + finicky, I have a strong feeling they would not eat this , especially with pumpkin in it. Wish they would. I have cooked + given them some chicken I boiled and put in blender but they just turn their noses up at it. So I highly doubt they would eat this. I keep trying things but to know avail!

ASK YOUR VET!! This person is not an expert.
put the food on a plate. its whiskers touch the bowl
If cat moves food from bowl to floor, try a plate or pie tin. There is something called "whisker fatigue." Sides of bowl tickle cat's whiskers, it's irritating to them.
Cats also need texture and bones.
I would omit the oatmeal. Cats don't need that and can't digest it.
Never in history has a cat ever needed oats or vegetables. They are carnivores!
One cat only eats dry cat food, won't eat any people food. The other cat I'm sure would rip my face off to get himself that pate.

Hello, I updated the recipe in the description box. Do feel free to alter it, no need to be too precise.
get a dam flat plate ...no being needs to eat off the floor please. I think the recipe lacks vitamins and minerals cats need.
KNOW that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 UNDERSTAND the wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23. CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. Romans 10:9 REPENT of your sins Luke 13:3 READ and STUDY God's Word to show yourself approved. 2 Timothy 2:15 PUT ON the whole armor of God. Ephesians 6:11 BEWARE of the son of perdition who is coming first disguised as Jesus to oppose and exalt himself above all that is called God, or worshipped 2 Thessalonians 2:3,4 WATCH and PRAY until the true Christ returns. Luke 12:37 Remain as a chaste virgin waiting for her true husband (Christ)2 Corinthians 11:2 Shepherds Chapel on KZread explains the whole Bible God bless
