I've been giving my kittens mostly dry food, knowing that I could do better for them. I've recently taken to the habit of sauteing the livers of all of the turkeys I've been cooking at work (they'd go into the trash otherwise), chopping them up, and cooking them with a little thin gravy. The first time I gave it to them, they spent a good 20 minutes trying to lick the bowl clean. Since then I've been trying to improve the food I give to them. I simmered some kale, cut it up really small and mixed it with the liver (since they don't care for vegetables) and used the cooking water to make the gravy... I don't know if that did anything... a raw foodie would say that I killed all of the nutrients by heating it up.
They've also developed the same expensive tastes that I have, seeing as I can't help but give them a taste of shrimp, duck, chicken, fresh fish or whatever I happen to be eating.
Out of curiosity James, what exactly do you feed your cats? Do you just cook human-style food, or do you know of a website that has some cat-specific recipes?
BTW.. after reading this thread, I think the Bubbles avatar really suits you, he's the smartest guy in the park.
