So, this is what I use (but make sure you read the info on https://catinfo.org/making-cat-food/ before making a decision):
For 2 cats, each weighing between 10-13lbs, 2 weeks supply (on the above website, she has a cat weight to daily food weight ratio):
Ingredients:
9 lbs of chicken thighs, with skin and bones (choose good quality, safe chicken, whatever that means to you after your own research)
0.75 lbs of chicken liver
4 eggs
Supplements mixed in:
1 cup of water (or a bit more)
5,000-10,000mg fish oil
400IU/268mg Vitamin E
50mg Vitamin B-Complex 50
2,000mg Taurine
1 Teaspoon Morton Lite Salt with Iodine
(She has detailed suggestions on brands or websites to purchase them at.)
Instructions:
1. Bake chicken thighs in oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. Only outside is cooked, inside still raw.
Cool down, cut up meat in small enough chunk for the grinder and chop bone in half so it won't jam the grinder.
2. Bake chicken liver in oven at 350F for 10 minutes, flip half way through. Break into smaller pieces.
3. Boil 4 eggs for 3-4 minutes, yolk still soft. Peel off shell, disgard. Break off eggs in smaller pieces.
4. Mix above items. Grind them up.
5. Pour supplement mix in. Stir up well.
6. Store in mason jars up to 3/4 of the jar size. Leave lids off, put in freezer. Put lids on after frozen.
She has the grinder model and website where to purchase on her website.
After you do it once or twice, it's streamlined and the process will only take about 1.5 hours every 2 weeks and it's way cheaper and good for them!
