10 HOMEMADE CAT FOOD RECIPES THAT ARE HEALTHY!



10 Homemade Cat Food Recipes That Are Healthy! image

Provided by Christine Smith

Categories     Main Course

Prep Time 60 minutes

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup Water (or more if your cat will eat it with more water)
2 Eggs. Use the yolk raw but lightly cook the white (soft boiling them works well) (optional - if your cat won't eat the food, try removing the eggs. Some cats just don't like them.)
5,000 - 10,000 IU Fish oil (5-10 capsules of the average 1,000 mg capsule) Fish oil is a good source of essential fatty acids. Do not use COD liver oil! 
400 IU or (268 mg) Vitamin E (powdered E in capsules is the easiest to use)
50 mg Vitamin B-complex (capsules or tablets)
2,000 IU Taurine (use powdered - either in capsules or loose)
1 tsp Morton Lite salt with iodine
4 oz chicken livers per 3 lb of meat/bones/skin
2 1/3 tbsp tablespoons bone meal
3 lbs chicken thighs, with skin, bones removed (do not remove fat or skin - these are necessary ingredients for kitty health!)

Steps:

  • Bake (at 350 degrees) the chicken/turkey thighs and liver leaving ~50% of the thigh meat raw. (The time needed varies depending on how thick the thighs are but is usually ~15 minutes, give or take.) The liver will be cooked more than the meat which is fine.
  • Remove from the oven and put in cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Remove some of the raw meat from the bone for chunking (for the version in the picture, I used a grinder, if you use meat shears or a knife to "chunk" the meat - cutting it into small pieces about the size of a dime, it will look like the second picture). The bigger, the better. Keep in mind that raw meat is more tenacious (and better for teeth) than cooked meat. Make sure that you include the skin and all the fat!
  • If using eggs, make sure you cook the whites (the yolks can be cooked or left raw). Break the egg into small pieces so that it incorporates into the rest of the ingredients.
  • Mix together the meat/liver/skin, egg whites, and fat drippings in one large bowl. Placed mixture in the refrigerator while the supplements are mixed up.
  • Combine the water, egg yolks (if you only cooked the white versus the whole egg), vitamin E, vitamin B-complex, taurine, salt, bone meal, and fish oil with a whisk. Note that it is helpful to put the fish oil capsules in warm water in advance of mixing up the supplement slurry. It takes about 15 minutes for them to dissolve and I use my hand to make sure that all of the oil is squeezed out of each capsule. Some people poke the fish oil capsules with a pin. It is ok to leave the capsules in the water. Most cats readily eat them but if your cat is not fond of fish, then you may want to remove them.
  • Pour the supplement slurry into the meat/skin/liver/egg mixture. Mix very well.
  • Portion into containers and freeze. Leave at least 3/4" of head space to allow for expansion.
  • Ideally, the food should only be in the refrigerator (in a completely thawed state) for 48 - 72 hours so keep that in mind when choosing your container size. The average cat eats about 3.5-6 ounces per day.

Make and share this Emoji Cat Sugar Cookies recipe from Food.com.

Total Time 44 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 14 minutes

Yield 20-22 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter, softened, room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 cups yellow royal icing (recipe follows)
1 cup black royal icing
1 cup light blue royal icing
6 cups confectioners' sugar
4 tablespoons meringue powder
1/2-3/4 cup water
food coloring, gels red, blue, black, yellow

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, use a paddle attachment to beat butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat to combine. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a flat disk.
  • Working one at a time, place the dough on a silpat or piece of parchment paper cut to 12x17 inches. Cover with a large piece of plastic wrap and roll dough out to 1/4-inch thick. Place rolled dough, covered with plastic on a baking sheet. Repeat process with 2nd disk and place rolled dough on top of 1st piece. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove plastic from dough and use a 4-inch cat emoji cutter to cut out shapes. Place cookies 1 1/2-2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Roll out scraps and repeat process. Chill for about 15 minutes if dough is too soft.
  • Bake cookies rotating baking sheets halfway through until edges start to turn golden, about 12-14 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before decorating.
  • To make the icing: Place sugar, meringue powder and 1/2 cup water in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whisk to combine until smooth and thick, adding additional water to achieve a thick but pourable consistency. Separate icing into four bowls and use coloring gels to dye icing red, yellow, black, and light blue.
  • Fill a small squeeze bottle with yellow royal icing and trim the tip to make it easier to squeeze the icing out. Alternatively use a pastry bag fitted with a small tip. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small tip or squeeze bottle with black royal icing. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a small tip or small squeeze bottle with light blue royal icing.
  • To decorate cookies, start with the yellow royal icing and draw an outline around the edge of the cookie. Fill the center with yellow icing by squeezing in a zig zag and then use a toothpick to make smooth. Place heart eyes on some of the cookies. Let icing dry completely  before decorating the face.
  • Once the yellow icing is dry, use the black icing to make eyes, whiskers and a mouth. Let dry completely.
  • Use the light blue royal icing to draw tears of laughter on some of the cat emojis.

THE EASY WAY TO MAKE CAT-SHAPED FOOD - THE JOY OF CATS
The easiest way to make cat-shaped food is to use cat-shaped cookie cutters, molds, and cake pans. These items will make the food shaped like cats, but will not be as beautiful as cat-shaped food made by food artists unless of course, you have expert decorating skills, which might make you a food artist. I am not a food artist, so using items already in cat shapes makes it easy when I want to take cat-shaped food to potlucks.
