Making homemade food for your cat can be a great way to
ensure they’re getting fresh, nutritious meals—but it’s super important to
balance the nutrients properly since cats are obligate carnivores. Here's a
basic idea of what a balanced homemade cat food might look like:
Homemade Cat Food Recipe (Cooked Version)
Ingredients:
· 1 lb chicken thighs
(with skin, boneless)
· 1/4 cup cooked
carrots (mashed)
· 1/4 cup cooked
pumpkin or squash
· 1 boiled egg
(chopped)
· 500 mg taurine
supplement (essential!)
· Fish oil (1 capsule
or 1 tsp, for omega-3)
· Calcium supplement
(crushed eggshells or commercial supplement)
· Optional: vitamin E
& B-complex supplement
Instructions:
1. Cook the chicken
thoroughly (boil or bake), then chop or grind it.
2. Mix in the cooked
carrots, pumpkin, and egg.
3. Add supplements:
taurine, fish oil, calcium, and any others.
4. Stir until well
combined. Store portions in airtight containers and refrigerate or freeze.
Raw Diet Option (Only if you’re familiar with safe
raw feeding):
Use a mix of raw muscle meat, organs (like liver and
heart), and bones or a calcium source, with taurine and other essential
supplements.
Important Notes:
· Taurine is non-negotiable. Cats need it for heart and eye
health.
· Calcium is essential if you’re not feeding bones.
· Always consult a
vet or pet nutritionist before going fully homemade.
