Cats are obligate carnivores — meaning they need a meat-focused diet to thrive. Here's a simple beginner guide to making homemade cat meals:
Basic Homemade Cat Food Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 cup cooked chicken (no seasoning)
-
1 boiled egg (no salt)
-
1 tbsp plain pumpkin puree (great for digestion)
-
1 tsp fish oil (for healthy skin and coat)
How to Make:
-
Cook chicken thoroughly and shred into small pieces.
-
Hard boil the egg, peel, and finely chop it.
-
Mix chicken, egg, pumpkin, and fish oil together.
-
Serve in small portions and refrigerate leftovers for up to 2 days.
Safety Tips:
-
Always Cook Meat Thoroughly: To kill harmful bacteria.
-
No Onions, Garlic, or Chives: They’re toxic to cats.
-
Balance is Key: Homemade diets can miss vital nutrients—talk to your vet about supplements like taurine.
-
Fresh, Small Batches: Cats are picky about freshness!
Bonus Ideas:
-
Rotate proteins like turkey, rabbit, or beef.
-
You can lightly blend ingredients for older cats with dental issues.
