Back in the 50’s, my mother occasionally fed our cat raw beef kidney’s…chopped up. It was astounding how much he loved them. He behaved like a cat on catnip.

I’ve heard that cats need a little bit of organ meat in there too(about 5% of the meat should be liver or heart.) I wonder if the vitamin mix takes care of it so it’s not needed.

I have such a finicky cat, it would be great if this worked for her. Did you need to heat it up before feeding or could you serve cold from the fridge?

What a great idea! Lately I’ve been mixing baked jewel yams into Oscar and Checker’s wet food feeding. They love it. And are relaxed after to play. Must be the high levels of potassium. I have an idea to make cat muffins feedings. They can be made with ground meat, fish or fowl, an egg, yams, beets, broccoli, and some white or brown rice and peas. Easy to freeze pack with Mr. Glad sticky freezer wrap. Keep moist thru the baking with chicken or fish broth.

Kylyssa, your kitty is beautiful! Looks like our. And I totally know what you mean. I am so in love with Soots these days, I think I may neglect Michael because of him. If only Michael would grow more fur…

I've been feeding home made cat food on and off, but mostly on for over twenty years. My cats have lived long, healthy lives. Two of my cats passed away last year at ages 19 and twenty and my remaining cat is 20 with no sign of health problems.

I have found that it's actually cheaper to feed homemade cat food than to feed high quality canned food. I don't use organic food though, I just shop at the local grocery stores and use the same giant bag of frozen chicken breasts I buy for me and my partner. If I weren't disabled and broke, I'd probably buy organic and free-range.

You can see a picture of my old man kitty here - he's the kitty love of my life.

I don’t think I could handle making food for my cats. I’m a vegetarian and I won’t cook meat for my omni husband and daughter let alone my cats (who, I realise, are carnivorous by nature and I’m perfectly okay with that). I feed them Hill’s prescription diet which comes in a paper bag. No wet stuff for these kitties. I tried convincing my hubby to make food for them, but he’s not that interested in conserving much of anything…
