Re: Homemade cat food recipes

Is your cat allergic to these things? I make my cats their food. It is usually chicken, veggies, and oats. I also make an oil mix and get a supplement from Halo Pets.

No, they are not. But they are not supposed to eat any of those things (fish and beef are okay, but they are very hyperallergenic). I found a raw food diet recipe, and also a brand of canned cat food that is pretty good as far as commercial foods go, so if we can't make it we can buy it.

Re: Homemade cat food recipes

hey its been a while since i posted but I f you gave a bit more information on what your were looking for and why it would be easier to help you out.

Do you want raw? Why are your cats supposed to avoid these things?

I would avoid ANY veggies, Grains or non animal proteins (soy tofu etc). Cats are strictly carnivores and the addition of sugars and and carbs in their diets can lead to health issues.

Re: Homemade cat food recipes

Not just my cats, but all cats shouldn't eat them really. Here is a link to why: http://www.catinfo.org/commercialcannedfoods.htm

And here is the recipe that I found that we are going to make if we can't do the canned food thing:http://www.catnutrition.org/recipes.php


It's like this, do you EVER hear of a cat in the wild hunting grains? Or better yet, vegetables? At least the food we are feeding now is okay (but we are switching if I have anything to do with it) as far as being dry since there aren't any by-products (By-products are okay, but you shouldn't get a commercial food with by-products because you don't know what it is, if you read that link I gave you you'll know why) or corn gluten meal. See most foods that are made appeal to humans, showing "wholesome grains" and vegetables and fruits, and no bones. But in reality they should have bones (ground up), organs, and meat. Though it seems gross to us, it's what they eat.
