Cat Food Recipe (With Real Bone)

Cat Food Recipe (With Real Bone) was pinched from <a href="http://www.catnutrition.org/recipes.html" target="_blank">www.catnutrition.org.</a>
INGREDIENTS
NOTE: not recommend for cats with CKD (chronic kidney disease) - formerly known as CRF
2 kg [4.4 pounds] raw muscle meat with bones (chicken thighs and drumsticks or, better, a whole carcass of rabbit or chicken amounting to 2 kg;
if you don't use a whole carcass, opt for dark meat like thighs and drumsticks from chicken or turkey and remove/don't use 20 to 25 percent of the bone;
if using whole rabbit, which has a higher bone-to-meat ratio than chicken, dilute the extra bone by adding another 20 to 25 percent of plain muscle meat and skin and fat from rabbit, chicken, or turkey)
400 grams [14 oz] raw heart (chicken heart if you can source it - it's best not to use use beef heart; if no heart is available, substitute with 4000 mg Taurine)
200 grams [7 oz] raw liver (chicken liver if you can source it - it's best to not use beef liver;
if you can't find appropriate liver, you can substitute 40,000 IU of Vitamin A and 1600 IU of Vitamin D--but try to use real liver rather than substitutes)
NOTE: If you cannot find the heart or liver and decide to substitute with the Taurine/Vitamin A and D, then remember to REPLACE the missing amount of organ meat with the equivalent amount of muscle meat.
In other words, if you cannot find heart, you add another 400 grams of the meat/bones. If you can't find the liver, add another 200 grams of meat/bone.
16 oz [2 cups] water
4 raw egg yolks (use eggs from free-range, antibiotic-free chickens if you can)***
4 capsules raw glandular supplement, such as, for example, multigland supplement by Immoplex.
4000 mg salmon oil (see note at bottom of recipe*)
800 IU Vitamin E ("dry E" works well)
200 mg Vitamin B-50 complex (i.e., four capsules of B-50)
1.5 tsp. Lite salt (with iodine) - NOTE: If you’re using whole ground rabbit from a supplier, check with the supplier to see if the thyroid gland is included. If it is, skip the salt.
(optional: 4 tsp. psyllium husk powder (8 tsp. if using whole psyllium husks; see note at bottom of recipe**)
NOTE: If you will not be using the food immediately and freezing for more than a week or two, toss in 4000 mg of additional Taurine to make up for what may get lost during storage.
It is also not a bad idea to sprinkle extra Taurine from a capsule on the food as you're serving it two or three times a week, just to be certain your cat is getting plenty of this critical amino acid.
