Homemade Cat Food

How do I make "house" (wet) cat food? I usually feed my cats Natural Life dry cat food during the day, and keeps food moist in the morning. But I want them to have more nutrients from food moist, and I do not think that commercial products are good for them.

Besides what I do for them, how often should I give them wet food?

I would feed the cat wet food only. You can prepare raw foods for your cats home easily, but you'll need some basic information first. I suggest you join the Yahoo group for raw food support and information.

For information on cat nutrition read these first. They are long, but worth it:

There are many excellent canned food. You will not find in a supermarket, department store or even in some of the chain of pet stores (they can carry a couple).

Some canned foods are premium: Natural Balance, Ultra and especially chicken liver pate, wellness, wellness core, Innova Evo and Innova Evo and Merrick duck.

It is completely wrong to say that wet food rots the teeth of a cat! I had very old cats with healthy teeth and gums! None of them ate a lot of dry food, I used it when I went only at night. My dear Elvira was in his early 20s when she died and she was professionally cleaned twice - the vet was surprised at her teeth (she has never lost one) and gums.

I'll try to update later.

If you are intimidated to start this company makes a product that takes all the guesswork to Catfood.
Here is the recipe I used to feed nearly half my cats' first. Scroll down 1 / 4 of the page. In fact, you do not need a grinder for this if you're willing to cut finely chop or one and put some chopped in a blender or food processor:

I eat free dried up and about a tablespoon of wet once in the morning and once at night. How to move a cat human food quality can be much more severe than for dogs. I started by taking plain baked chicken and chop until it was pretty much dust. Then I mixed about half a teaspoon in his wet food for her habit and increase the nutritional value. You can also try the baby food of man, but I think there are too many vegetables in them.

What a great question. In fact, I give my cat homemade natural food. Although there are many varitities, the best mix is:

beans or tiny pieces of carrot
mixed with pieces of chopped chicken
also cut hard boiled eggs in
then pour the sauce on some, it mixes, and store in the refrigerator if necessary.
a little catnip never hurts!
This is a great recipe and very simple.
My cat loves this dish and is very healthy!

Cats are carnivores, it should be all meat and fish.

Most dried foods have a lot of fish meal in them, carnivores can not metabolize vegetable matter, giving them too many vegetables will either shorten their life through malnutrition or to hunt a lot.

Dry food is better for them than wet food rots your teeth, but you can try cooking the chicken stock for themselves or for cooking meat and red sauce. Personally, I never go to such extremes for my cats bcos if they can be picky they will.

The raw food is more nutritious for your cat. It requires a lot of research to learn to feed properly if it. Not providing the proper balance of nutrients can cause catastrophic health problems.
