RE: Homemade Cat Food Recipes -- Melanie's query about older cat that needs special care
My suggestion for this darling would be Brewer's Yeast flakes -- added to cat food. Not only should it help improve her appetite and weight, it will also improve quality of fur. Cats usually love just the smell of the flakes on your fingers (although I have had a couple who didn't). The benefits are soon evident in very shiny fur: it works from inside out and as they groom themselves, their fur becomes sleeker. And -- fleas don't like the smell of it and so never attack them. At least that's my experience. Good luck!! Sincerely, CathyinPEI

RE: Homemade Cat Food Recipes
I just inherited a female spayed, front end de-clawed cat who is a little over a year old. She is very skinny, to the point her bones and spine can be felt through her skin. Cat has been kept totally indoors all her life and seems fine with it. I would like to find something to enrich her diet to help with healthy weight gain that can also be made from home. Shes wonderful and I would like to keep her, especially since my young children and husband (he who hates cats) have grown to love her in a span of a day. I have tons of reduced lactose infant fromula if her system can use it. Its enfamel gentlease. (purple can) Any suggestions?

RE: Homemade Cat Food Recipes
Today I began searching for dry cat food alternatives- as we can tell by this long thread, so are many of us. Here is just a little of what i have found so far that makes sense-
Cats do not have a physiologic requirement for vegetables and actually lack the enzymes needed to break down this food source for efficient utilization. more info

Avoid fish flavored foods or treats, which are said to be suspect in crystal formation/urinary problems in males
Cats need very very little carbs. (ie rice/oats)
One of our 3 cats, mia- she is not fat, just fluffy- 80% fur! As you can see she likes to eat her feet-perhaps she has found her own diet!

RE: Homemade Cat Food Recipes
For about 6 months I made my own cat food. I bought a cat food cookbook in the cookbook section of one of the major bookstores. They loved it, but it is time consuming, I don't believe it was any less expensive, and you either need to supplement it with commercial canned food or find a place to buy things like taurine which cats need to have. They also cannot have all their meat protein cooked, I forgot why at the moment.

If you plan to switch your cats to a 100 percent homemade diet, check out some of the nutritional information online, because there are certain vitamins and minerals which are very important to their health and might be missing in a diet a lay person would devise. Saving money on food doesn't accomplish much if you make it up on vet bills.
We've had several cats which didn't like canned food and which had long, healthy lives just eating a GOOD supermarket brand of dry food. In other words, not the cheapest generic brand, but not the expensive kinds sold by vets, either. Stuff like Purina, in other words.

I have a source for free beef hearts and tongue. I boil them in water, cut into chunks, and chop fine in food processor. My two cats get some of this each night when I get home from work, and during the day they eat dry food. They love the beef!
