Cat food Recipe
Consists of 2 parts.
Part No. 1 – Meat.
Chicken legs
Or Turkey legs and breasts
I roast the chicken till done, the clean them off the bones and store in tuperware containers enough for about 4 days at two servings per day. Freeze the lot and then take out as required.
Part No. 2 – Vegetables.
Peas – 1 can
Yellow and or green beans – bag full
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Carrots
1 apple
Parsley (for chlorophyll, cats need chlorophyll. You can also use wheat grass, or brewers yeast or mescalin salad mix even.)
Potassium supplement (got this from the vet in Hamilton – “the cat clinic”
www.thecatclinic.ca )
You can also add some melon and or pineapple as well.
I then boil all the veggies together briefly, except the chlorophyll source. Take all veggies and puree in a food processor into a pulp and add the chlorophyll source as you puree. Add some potassium supplement to the mix by crushing potassium tablets using spoons then add into the mix and puree. Also, add some calcium citrate to the veggie pulp for a good calcium source.
Spoon “veggie pulp” into zip log bags about a cup’s worth, or even slightly less. Freeze the bags separately.
I then feed the cat twice a day by chopping up the chicken into bits and adding a spoon full of the veggies. Mix it up.
Vet recommended the ratio of about 60 percent meat and 40 percent veggies for a cat with kidney disease and about 80 / 20 for a healthy cat. However, too much veggie and the cat walks away. You have to fool the cat into thinking its all meat. I probably go about 70 / 30. Part of the thing with KD is that you want to lower protein, but you want good protein.
For kidney disease, add cranberry powder to food on a daily basis and mix in. Essentially, you salt the food with the cranberry powder, then mix it in.
To vary the meat, you can use liver (Vitamin A), or oily fish. Sardines and tuna are good.
For a cat with Kidney disease give it 2 pellets of Dalisas Reninen D-30 in its daily drinking water. (Recommended by natural path vet.) However, I give the cat these maybe twice a week in her water.
It takes about 1 evening after work every 5 or 6 weeks to make a batch of food up. It’s actually pretty simple and logical.
Natural path vet was adamant that ALL pet food is garbage, no matter what any vet tells you. (Bear in mind this woman is a certified vet.)
