Pet owners prefer store food (dry and wet) for the most part only to save time. After all, natural food for cats is not worse, although not better than premium food. It turns out that each owner decides what to feed the cat only based on the availability of free time.
Veterinarians do not hide their negative attitude to the so-called "wet" feeds Friskies, Kitekat, Whiskas. Due to the rather low prices, meat in their composition is either absent or of not quite proper quality. Manufacturers of these brands sometimes add soy to them as a vegetable protein. Pets eating such food suffer from dermatitis and diarrhea, and there are frequent cases of oncology. According to experts, vitamins and natural products, including meat, contain only premium feed.
On the other hand, doctors believe that the ideal food for cats is not “wet”, but “dry” food from these manufacturers, since it is quite balanced, retains its nutritional value for a long time, and animals do not develop dental plaque when consumed.
But as mentioned above, cat owners who have enough free time can prepare a complete food for their pets on their own. For those who are wondering how to feed a cat, there are several possible options for meals.
Chicken lunch
The cat should be fed with a balanced meal, so we are preparing a full meal. Separately boil chicken meat and offal - chicken hearts and stomachs. Cool the finished meat and cut into small pieces. Boil any cereals of your choice (or your pet's preference) separately. It can be rolled oats, buckwheat, pearl barley, barley, corn or wheat groats. As you know, vitamins are found in vegetables, and therefore a full-fledged cat lunch is unthinkable without them. Boil cabbage, potatoes, beets or carrots, cool, grind. Mix all three components of the dinner thoroughly and add vegetable oil, literally a few drops.
In order to have something to feed the cat for a long time, we cook everything in large quantities, pack the finished lunch in plastic bags and freeze it.
Fritters for cats
Frozen beef should be grated on a coarse grater. Also grate the carrots. Scald the nettle with boiling water and chop it. Finely chop the lettuce. We make minced meat from the listed products, add a little vegetable oil to it, you can have peas and be sure to calcium tablets. For a bunch, add an egg to the minced meat and make cakes. They must be baked in the microwave on a low mode until they grab. Cakes can be made in reserve: freeze, take them out of the refrigerator as needed.
Meat platter
We free the chicken meat from the skin and bones, and also clean the fish from the bones and skins (pink salmon can be used). Then cut the chicken and fish into small pieces and simmer for an hour over low heat. Cook the rice porridge for the dough. Add it to the meat stew in a 1: 3 ratio. Mix everything with eggs and a quarter cup of vegetable oil. Heat for 10 minutes over low heat. Freeze in sachets. Feed your cat only with heated food.
Meat and cabbage lunch
Cut the beef or pork into small pieces. Add a teaspoon of cauliflower or broccoli baby food and a crushed calcium tablet. Do not forget about vegetable oil, a quarter teaspoon will be enough.
What is better to feed the cat - natural food or dry food, it is up to the pet owner to decide, the more this food is equivalent. If there is no difference, then it might be worth starting from the preferences of the animal.
