Does anyone know how to make cat food?  

This is awesome to read. When I had three cats in Miami they would scare me when I was cleaning my chicken. hen when I started to feed them it they were fine. I also noticed the stool was not so funky as with canned or bag foods. Thanks so much this makes my day. I will take the list to my butcher. I also need to check for the organic foods as well. :)

I went and grabbed a couple of excellent resource sites to get you started. I'm in a prey model forum and they keep links handy, so I figured these might give you a head start.

Oh how kind of you. I was finding the info on this diet interesting. Thanks for the extra help

By the way where do you buy your meat? after reading good on this I plan to start with my meat man. :)

I am going to look into the proper feeding on this. I have to gradually add the chicken to the cats diet. I thank you again for the help.

Erm .... that's inaccurate. Cats and dogs both have bacteria killing properties in their digestive systems, ensuring harmful contents are obliterated long before affecting the animal. The only circumstances were diet caused an issue with the animal is if the issue was already present, and the diet encouraged it. Think about it, when in the wild, did cats and dogs and their ancestors get picky and choosy about only attacking and eating high quality prey? Erm no. They killed and ate what came by.

You do have to be careful which kinds of meat at which ages, that much is true .. but it has nothing to do with quality. It has to do with the nutrients found in that particular meat. For example, my dog is on prey model diet. He loves lamb, but because of the high protein count can only have it once a month. Most of the time it's beef or pork, which are normally comprised of bulk purchases through a processing plant. My dog is one of the healthiest his vet cares for, and coinidently, the only one on prey model.

You do NOT need to buy high end meat. Again, you can find this all out by googling prey model diets. There'll be myths regarding it that you'll find busted, like this one .. and some helpful FAQ's to get you started.

Even so, humans shouldn't eat the crappy meat at the super market, let alone animals. If you don't buy the high end meats they won't be getting meat that is like the meat they would get in the wild. By buying organic, grain fed, and free range that meat will be antibiotic free, chemical free, etc and will be as close as you can get to meat in the wild. Animals can still salmonella, but healthy ones are not as susceptible to it. If your cat gets salmonella they can pass it on to you. Why take the chance?

I need to do more reading on this. Thanks so much
