Food intended for humans is not suitable for pets, dogs or cats, so they must be prepared separately. Of course, it is very convenient when the cat eats dry food or special canned food, but keeping the animal constantly on such a diet is not recommended. Since cats are carnivorous predators, raw meat on their menu will not be superfluous at all, just need to cook it properly.
Meat in the diet of a domestic cat
Of course, you can give a cat, albeit a domestic one, raw meat. Just keep in mind that the meat that you buy in the store and even on the market may contain large quantities of antibiotics and hormones that are fed to animals on farms, in addition, the danger of infection with worms is not excluded. Long-term storage of meat in the freezer will not help you either - some pathogens of deadly diseases remain viable even in such extreme conditions.
If you want to pamper your pet, you should feed it with beef or veal, you can give poultry and rabbit meat. Fatty meat, especially pork, is contraindicated for cats, it in any form will cause indigestion. But here are the by-products: heart, lung, liver, stomach and kidneys must be in the animal's diet.
When you are not sure about the quality of meat or offal, before giving them to the cat, cut them into small pieces and let them sit in boiling water for 5 minutes, but not longer, so that the nutritional value of the product is preserved.
How to cook your cat raw meat
To ensure that your cat's nutrition is complete and correct without the use of industrial food, you can prepare food for her with vitamin and mineral supplements at home. Such food can be prepared with a reserve and stored in the freezer, it will not lose its nutritional value.
Take 2 kg of raw meat - chicken necks, dark meat (thighs and drumsticks) of rabbit, turkey, chicken, you can use a whole carcass. It's not bad if you can add 400 g of the heart and 200 g of the liver of the same animal here. If not, you can replace the heart by adding 4000 mg of taurine, an essential amino acid that is sold in the pharmacy, and the liver by adding 40,000 IU of vitamin A and 1600 IU of vitamin D. If you use vitamins and taurine, do not forget to increase the amount of meat by 400 d - instead of the heart and 200 g - instead of the liver.
You can add a quarter teaspoon of seaweed to the feed: kelp and dark red algae, as well as 8 teaspoons of psyllium seeds. All of these can be bought at the pharmacy.
Cut the meat from the bones, cut into small pieces so that the animal cannot swallow them right away, but chew them. Twist the bones in a meat grinder and mix with the meat. Beat 4 egg yolks into the minced meat and add 2 cups of boiled water, mix everything well. Add 40 g to the resulting mass of fish oil, 200 mg of complex vitamin B and 800 mg of vitamin E, which can be purchased dry or in capsules at the pharmacy. Stir, divide into portions, place in bags and place in the freezer.
