If you are grinding your own meats, be sure to separate the muscle, take off as much skin as possible. Separate large pieces of muscle meat from the rest of the carcass to two separate piles. Keep some of the muscle meats as chunks to give your cat some things to chew on and get good chewing exercise.
Now put all of the meats and organ meat into the refrigerator until you mix up the rest of the ingredients. Separate out several eggs and place into a mixture which contains water, salmon oil, kelp, glandular supplements vitamin E, psyllium, and b complex. At this point you may also add Taurine.
Now run the meat and organ meats while adding the hand-chunked meat to the ground mix. Stir this well. Add the supplements, the egg yolks and mix again. Put the finished food into individual feeding containers like freezer bags but do not overfill, leaving at least a 1/2″ gap or more at the top to allow expansion during freezing. Be sure to label containers with dates food was prepared and freeze.
Use room temperature food to feed your cat. Some cats will vomit if the food is very cold. Don’t use the microwave to warm the food up as you partially cook it and destroy the vitamins and minerals so hard to maintain.
While preparing raw food for your cat may be a labor of love, it is also something that will decrease vet bills and extend the life of your cat for years to come.
