One option is to use three pounds of poultry (chicken or turkey) thigh meat including the bones and skin. Another option is to purchase a mix of 2. 25 lbs of a whole carcass ground rabbit plus 0. 75 lbs of boneless chicken or turkey meat including the skin and fat. This recipe will last 10-14 days for a cat eating 4-6 ounces per day.
Avoid using cod liver oil as this will be included in other ingredients.
Vitamin E should be prepared preferably in powdered capsule form. Vitamin B-complex is best used in capsule or tablet form. Taurine should be added in loose powdered or capsule form.
Add salt only if you are using poultry protein product and no rabbit.
This is only to be done if you are not using rabbit protein which contains liver already.
You want the meats only half raw, though the liver will end up slightly more cooked than the poultry. Save the fat drippings as additives to the ground meat.
Use a meat grinder for the more meaty bones and any meat not chunked. Include the liver and eggs.
Consider using large plastic containers on the order of 1 - 1. 5 pounds in capacity. Adjust for the number of kittens and other cats you have. If you want to warm up the food then apply some hot tap water or heating in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
The heart can be chicken heart
The salmon oil, B-50, and vitamin E should be in capsule form. You don’t need the Morton Lite salt with iodine if you are using rabbit meat.
This recipe makes 4. 4 pounds (2 kg) of food which can last 12-14 days for the average cat.
