Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4.5 lbs chicken thighs, bone and skin included
  • 14 oz chicken hearts (can be substituted with a meat based source with 4000mg taurine supplement)
  • 7 oz chicken livers
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 whole eggs or yolks (if your cat likes them)
  • 200 mg Vitamin B supplement
  • 200 IU Vitamin E
  • dash of light iodized salt (Use sparingly. Too much salt is not good for your cat.)
  • 200 mg  Taurine

Method
 

  1. Remove and discard roughly half of the skin and 20% of the bone.
  2. Dice and slice most of thighs into small bite-sized portions.
  3. Grind the rest of the thigh meat, bones, hearts, and liver. Stir until well blended.
  4. In large bowl, combine all vitamin supplements, eggs, and salt. Add 2 cups of water. Eggs should be well whisked.
  5. You will now have three main mixtures; sliced/sheared meat, ground meat/bone, and supplements beaten with eggs.  Combine and mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. The leftovers must be stored in an airtight container that allows room for expansion as the food freezes. You can put a few days worth of the meal in the refrigerator and freeze the rest.
