Cat food is deceptively tricky. It seems like a conglomeration of foods that our kitties love to eat, but we have to make sure that we provide all the nutrition that they actually need. I have consulted 2 other websites before creating this recipe for my babies: http://www.catinfo.org/makingcatfood.htm

**This recipe is not a complete diet, more like a tasty treat/special meal for our little buddies.
Ingredients:
14.75 oz can of pink salmon
10 oz can baby clams
3.75 oz can sardines in oil
2 chicken breasts, boiled and cut into small chunks
1 hard boiled egg
1 cup mixed veggies (peas/corn/green beans/carrots)
Directions:
1. Boil the chicken
2. When the chicken is about half done, add the egg and the veggies to cook in the water
3. Add all canned seafood to a large mixing bowl, including the liquid it was packed in, mash slightly with a potato masher
4. Remove the chicken and egg and allow them to cool
5. Drain the veggies and rinse in cold water
6. Puree veggies in a blender or food processor and add to the bowl
7. Peel and chop the egg and add to the bowl
8. Chop the chicken and add to the bowl
9. Refrigerate for no more than a week
10. Freeze the rest
I would have liked to add about a quarter cup of ground beef heart but I couldn't find any. Among the other ingredients that are ok are chicken thighs, chicken skin, rabbit, a little bit of beef liver, vitamin E, flax oil, fish oil, quail, Cornish hen, turkey, zucchini, and chicken baby food.
