CATS:

Feline Feast

• 1 cup cornmeal or polenta
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter (or one tablespoon each)
• 4 cups ground turkey or chicken (or lean chuck, lean beef heart, lean
• hamburger, liver, giblets, fish or other lean meats) 4 tablespoons
• Healthy powder
• 2000 mg Calcium Powder
• 10 000 IU Vitamin A
• 100 IU Vitamin E
• 500 mg taurine supplement (optional)

Bring 4 cups of water to boil. Add the cornmeal or polenta stirring rapidly to keep it from getting lumpy. When it is thoroughly blended cover and simmer for 10 minutes. When cornmeal or polenta is creamy, stir in the eggs and oil and butter. Mix in the remaining ingredients.

Daily ration (in cups): Small-3/4; medium-1+; large 11/4-2 cups.

Occasionally it is a good idea to use fattier grades of meat, but eliminate the oil and butter when you do. For example you can substitute heart with regular, fat showing hamburger, poultry with skin.  Grain can be substituted with 1cup (dry volume) of any of the following: bulgur, millet, buckwheat, barley, brown rice, couscous, amaranth, spelt or quinoa.

Remove from heat and let cool. With electric hand mixer or blender blend all ingredients into nice puree. Whatever you won’t use within 2 days you can freeze and serve later.

Daily ration: 1-3 cups depending on the size of the cat.
