A cat’s diet should focus on healthy raw ingredients to provide them with essential amino acids (including taurine) and fats for proper function, along with essential micronutrients like vitamin A and niacin that come from their food source.
Try these cat food recipes to meet the nutritional requirements of your cat or kitten.
1. Chicken and Tuna Recipe
An irresistibly delicious pate made of chicken and tuna for maximum appeal, complimented by a tasty bone broth base to provide delicious flavor and hydration from nose-to-tail wellbeing.
CatFoodDB awarded this recipe an 8 out of 10 Paw rating based on its nutritional analysis and ingredient list. It features quality protein sources without by-products or bulk-adding fillers and no artificial flavors or colors – making this an excellent option for cats with loss of appetite! It’s also low calorie count making this an excellent solution to consider for weight management purposes.
2. Beef Recipe
Making homemade meals for your cat can be easier than you think, as it allows you to more closely match their natural diet while meeting her specific nutritional requirements.
As cats are obligate carnivores, they require animal proteins in order to get essential amino acids such as taurine and arginine from these sources. Furthermore, vitamins and minerals from various food sources must also be consumed; supplements may be added if desired. For the perfect meal that includes protein, fats and vegetables that will keep for three days in your refrigerator! This recipe comes together in minutes!
3. Greens Recipe
When purchasing collard greens, choose ones with full and vibrant leaves. Soak them in water to remove any grit before thoroughly washing each leaf front and back.
Saute aromatics in oil while stirring constantly to prevent browning (this adds bitter flavors), before adding stock and collard greens. Cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes or until tender; this dish works equally well with other greens such as bok choy or choy sum. For a vegetarian alternative, substitute vegetable broth instead of chicken broth while leaving out turkey wings/ham hocks from your dish.
4. Salmon Recipe
If your cat enjoys fish, this healthy and flavorful dinner is sure to please them! Just mix all ingredients and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to three days for later consumption.
Cats depend on the stomach contents of their prey animals for essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. Home cooked diets usually fail to provide these vital vitamins and minerals without supplementation like organ meats from prey animals or supplements like kelp and calcium.
Cooking for your cat can be challenging due to their complex dietary needs, but with the appropriate recipes you can create delicious and balanced homemade meals!
5. Chicken Pate Recipe
Chicken liver pate is an irresistibly creamy and delicately rich appetizer or charcuterie board staple, offering great texture and subtle rich flavors. Not to mention how effortless its preparation makes entertaining easy! It can also make great party snacks!
Making pate can be done either using a stove top or oven. While using the former method will produce richer flavors and textures, such as grittyness. For smoother mousse-like textures using an oven method may be preferable. Pate will last around three days in the fridge if stored under protective layers of butter; longer when frozen.
6. Tuna & Pumpkin Recipe
Tuna provides high-quality protein for your cat in this recipe, paired with pumpkin to provide essential fiber and mineral support. This meal provides complete and balanced nutrition for cats of all ages and can be served either as a main course or kibble topper.
