This homemade cat food recipe is based/adapted from that found on feline-nutrition.org - which I highly recommend checking out as it is a great go-to resource for all things raw cat food :)
If you want your feline furry baby to be one of the healthiest cats in the world - without the all too common bladder or kidney issues - I highly suggest transitioning him or her to a raw cat food diet. This food does take some work to prepare, but it will also save you a LOT of money in the long run (on food AND vet bills)!
IMPORTANT TIP: It is best to use organic, pastured egg yolks and non-commercial, non-supermarket brand livers (Murray's brand works great). If cost isn't much of an issue, go all out and get organic chicken thighs, too! Animals can tell the quality of what you feed them and I learned that any time I used commercial eggs or supermarket chicken livers, my cat would barely eat his food. But with high quality of both he devours it. I only go for the pricier organic thighs when I travel as it best ensures he will eat his food. Yep, picky AND spoiled.
ALSO note that a cat will rarely start eating this way from the get-go. It requires transitioning. First, from dry to wet food. Then by adding small ratios of raw food to the wet food until you reach a full transition... which could take weeks to months. I strongly suggest checking out feline-nutrition.org for tons of info regarding all of this. I also made a HOW TO TRANSITION YOUR CAT video here: • How to Transition Your...

Cat Lady Fitness which model of vitamix are you using? Thank you!
Hi Violetta! My Vitamix is the Professional Series 300 (see on Amazon here: amzn.to/2zGvrKB) I've had it since 2012, so it's not a newer model, but it works for me and I love it :) thanks for watching!
OK.......How Many Chicken Thighs,Hearts, and livers ?

Hats off to all the vegans taking one for the team and feeding their cats the meaty diet they need -- I'm sure the furballs appreciate it!
That's literally the bare minimum? Wdym "appreciate" Cats are carnivores if you're a vegan and don't feed your cat meat you shouldn't have a cat
@@gurpleraven a lot of vegans unfortunately try to force their diet on their cats, causing severe illness and even death. Cats are carnivores and a lot of people don’t respect that.
@@Joemama-cb1vy I know, I'm just saying vegans don't need to be appreciated for not forcing their lifestyle onto their cats, as that's the expectation. Anything less is just cruel
@@gurpleraven totally agree
@@Joemama-cb1vy just wanna say you're completely wrong. Most vegans care about animal health no matter what their health takes, or they just don't own an animal that requires this type of care.
My cat heard your cat and sat up so fast. He's now hunting the whole apartment looking for him
show him the vidoe put the volume so he ca hear where it's coming from show it 2 or 3or 4 times and then he will understand it's just fromnphone
So do my cat 😁
Mine was sleeping and his ears started dancing
Aww 💞
@@aaaa-gj1kn well, her comment was from 2 years ago so I'm sure her cat forgot by now 😏
This is the only "raw cat food tuitorial" that I find easy to follow and understand. To the point and educational. No person dancing and giving the story of their life so your watching for 45 min and they finally get to the point. Others I simply am confused!! Thanks for this; we follow this recipe for our 16 cats. Yep 16.
Have you seen any benefits from the new feeding routine are they much healthier??
The following suggestion is for people who want an easy way to control portions (easy for them, or for a pet sitter, etc.) The typical ice cube tray is made of 1 oz sections. You can freeze the meat in ice cube trays, then put the frozen cubes into a plastic container where you can pull out the number of cube you need at a time.
I don't even have a cat ...
why am I watching this?
Elli loves pizza same! Lol
Go get one.
kryptik0 I did 😂
It's because your a closet cat lover.
✨ Behold, the power of the kitteh! ✨
I switched both of my cats to this diet a few months ago. They shed less, puke less, poop less, and their fur is the softest it's ever been. My obese cat (he was obese when I adopted him) is FINALLY losing weight. My other cat is also thriving on it. I also use Stella & Chewy's as a backup for when I have a cat sitter or not enough time to make this food. I can usually get about two weeks of food for two cats in one batch.
Juliet Jeske how did it take for your cat to switch to the chicken diet? Mine won’t follow with the plan! Lol
Alli Ex I had to slowly mix it in with their wet. It was so silly that after about a month or so I would put the thinnest layer of wet food over the raw to trick them into eating it. I finally stopped putting the canned food on top. They protested but after about 30 minutes they finally ate it. Now they eat it no problem.
Juliet Jeske thank you!!
Though my cat is eating the raw food but is having slight diarrhoea, any suggestions ?
@@HS-fw2ps maybe reduce the amount and see if there are any improvement. I just watched Dr. Becker on raw food.she said transition has to be slow over 3 to 6 months
Am vegan .. this is a nightmare.. but I need a happy healthy cat 🐈
I'm vegan too but unfortunately cats r not it's nauseating I wanna throw up every time I give it to them
@@Sam-ed3eb after I quit meat chicken and fish I find it repulsive.. The idea of handling body organs... Even before I went vegan it used to irritate me but I ate it because it's what I was raised to eat and consider normal.. I used to wear gloves every time I touched raw meat or chicken.. So going vegan was very easy.. The only challenge I had was cheese.. I was addicted..
I 100% am there with you! I love my cat too much to not do what's best for him though.. I'm glad to hear someone else is in the same boat!! Keep up the great work our cats will be better for it! 😊😻
I’m vegan too but I know my kitties are carnivores and I want the best for them! I would like to find something else to grind their food in other than the blender I make my smoothies in... cause that just makes my stomach turn. 🤢
Same but I already feed raw meat to my two ferrets.
I just found this page two days ago after being frustrated after reading the labels of both canned food and kibble. The amount of fillers like corn, wheat, soybeans etc. etc.is hat astounding - not because I'm a food snob, but because I'm just trying to feed my five/six month old kitties something their bodies need. I'm also very frugal and I don't need to pay for a can of cat food that's filled with flour, corn, and rice, thank you very much. I went out and bought chicken thighs and about 2 lbs. (pounds) of giblets for a total of $6.50. I'm guessing it will last about two weeks. Two weeks of canned food would be about $15.00. They LOVE eating the raw chicken and giblets and gizzards and hearts and livers. I'm just about gagging as I grind them up in my food processor. (I don't use the bones), (and I have sworn off hotdogs forever, and possibly meat altogether after seeing this stuff in a blender!) but they love it and I swear, they are happier kitties. Is this possible??? They seem so content...I didn't think they were irrationally discontent before...but now they just seem happier in general. Especially the bitchy one who used to glare at me for no apparent reason. 😂
Ok ó of
Make sure they get bones or other calcium sources tho! Cats need 80% meat, 10% bone and 10% organs in their diets!
I'm glad your kitties are happy, but don't forget about the bones, they need the calcium in it :)
Lesson No: 1. Animals never glare at you for NO reason. Lol. Probably be a good idea to at least add fish oils and some taurine to that mix.
@@Kayenne54 Cats glare for no reason. Or a reason they made up in their own head. One cat glares, the other one is happy. Both are loved, fed well, and warm. Glaring is unjustified. Typical cat. A dog would never glare. A cat would.
I wanna do this for my cat because I love him and he deserves it
But he would probably turn up his nose to it after my hard work and want to eat a fake plant instead 😂
let him/her know this is a life and death situation which he cannot be picky about, let him/her starve
Cats can take several months to a year to transition. It depends on the cat. You have to go really slow. A cat on dry food is surviving not thriving. They may look healthy but they are dying inside. Raw is better than processed dry food. You cat could very well be eating cats and dogs that have been euthanized in a shelter. The big pet food companies are only after your money your cat is a $ sign to them.
Listen you stupid shit, Fuck you. (Thats being rude)
Disregarding the comments above, did you switch to this diet? If so, got any tips?
As a cat lover, I must point out this fact: Cats are sensitive creatures with delicate systems; they are also creatures of habit. So what does this have to do with switching your cat to a raw food diet? Simply this: if your cat is not used to raw food, then putting down raw food and nothing else, your cat probably will not eat it and starve himself and a cat can die of starvation in only a couple of days.
To prevent this from happening, first take any dry food out of their diet, replacing it with canned food. Then transition your cat's diet slowly by adding a little of the raw food to their normal food, slowly increasing the ratio of raw food to canned food until they are eating all raw food. Keep a close eye on your cat's weight while you are doing this. Any sudden drop or increase in weight can signal a problem. Your cat's weight will probably change some as fat is shed and muscle builds, but this should happen at a steady rate and by small increments.
And yes, do notify your vet before starting the transition.
I love that you honor Cats as the obligate carnivores that they are.
That's a lie, cats are omnivores.
@@karenoogjenbiserni1201 no theyre not
@@karenoogjenbiserni1201 Sorry, never once have I seen my cat picking up a stalk of celery and snacking away at it.
I found that egg shell powder is the same nutritionally, or better than ground bone. Also it can make it easier to make raw cat food not having to worry about grinding up bones. :3
I just looked it up because i figured that was awesome and apparently it really is a great source of calcium (which cats will lack if their owners only feed them meat) however apparently not as complete as bone meal.
Thank you :D I can't make this because my blender sucks and can't even put up frog Sen mangoes.
Frozen, sorry
Wrong !
My vegan fiancé is gonna hate that I’ll be grinding bones in his vitamix. Hahahah.
Cassie Corrao meh heheheh... this made me laugh 😂
As a vegan. I would have to break up with you if you contaminated my vitamix! My significant other used my frying pan once. I felt so hurt and disrespected. But I would also feed a raw diet to my cats. Despite what some other vegans think about this. Cats are carnivores. Good for you for giving your cat what it needs. Please don't use your fiance's Vitamix! I am sure you are joking about this part. As I am sure you know some vegans have a sense of humor. But seriously, if he used my vitamix to process meat he would need to buy me a new Vitamix! That said. Not all vegans do it for the same reasons. For some it is only for dietary reasons. So maybe these vegans may not care about sharing their Vitamix. In my case it is for ethical and more importantly for religious reasons. So, in this case the contamination would mean something different.
Rebecca Hartman you can just clean it with hot soapy water
Rebecca Hartman and if you felt hurt and disrespects from that, you should have done your fiance a favor and left him.
He deserves better.
I legitimately have vegetarian friends who are vegetarians by religion, and they have no problems eating from my pans, as long as what actually constitutes the food served actually had no meat inside.
As a vegan you should get a rabbit or bug as a pet not carnivore pets like humans should be 😂😂👌

Kudos for the video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Alivaay Fluff Talker (do a search on google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for learning how to communicate with your cat minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend Sam got cool results with it.
"It wasn't fresh enough" I felt that.
OMG I LOVE how thorough you are!!
Thank you so much for making this video!!
You did an AMAZING job 😺
As a vet technician w/ more than 20 years experience, my only suggestion here is to please tell your veterinarian before starting a raw diet. Not so they can talk you out of it, but so they can put it in your cats record. It's helpful for us to know this B4 an exam. Thx.! ;)
John Amidon if you don’t mind explaining. Why does it matter?
Elle Plow Plow: well, processing raw food in a home setting runs a higher risk of bacterial contamination, especially chicken. So, if a cat is presented with GI complaints & I'm taking the history, knowing kitty is on a raw diet can be a clue. And, no offense, but owners can forget to mention the darndest things! Cheers! :)
John Amidon thanks. :)
Elle Plow Plow: a very good question, happy to answer.
In other words Elle, he suggests its safer to just feed your cat dry cereal for the rest of its life. In fact, same for you. Why risk cooking food and eating out, when you could just take SOILENT GREEN?? drink liquid out of a bag for the rest of your life. At least you know you wont get salmonella.
John, I whipe my ass with your veterinary education. I doubt it even exists, but if it does, enjoy your framed piece of paper you brainwashed mainstream idiot. Think before you write.
I find it funny that a butcher isn't able to grind up bones but a damn Vitamix can! Makes no sense to me.
wausauness haha I know right! it's because they can't risk messing up their equipment, which is meant for grinding meat/soft tissue only... but you're right, it would make things a LOT easier. thanks for watching! :)
I think its more of a health/safety concern of that bone winding up in people food when they use the grinder again.
dishwater on anti bacterial setting would fix that.
I’m deleting my text at the bottom that only says “cat lady fitness u”
I must of made a mistake and left an unfinished text or somehow it was a phone error.
mxxmikexx1 - you're exactly right.
Our local Publix stopped grinding meat for us. The manager told us that their policy doesn't allow them to grind chicken which was super frustrating. We go to a local butcher now which is expensive because they only use grass-fed, locally-sourced meat but my cat now eats better quality meat than me lol
Why don't you just buy a meat grinder or a vitamix? I don't put bones in my vitamix and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
"Gotta let the kids lick the spoon." XD immediete thumbs up.
I may start feeding my cats this diet and ur cat at the end was hilarious 😂so cute
If you look closely, you can see the baby´s coat. Talk about UBER healthy, that is one gorgeous kitty. I highly recommend this for all felines and dogs (similar but not quite recipe).
Libertad dogs could use a lil veg in their meals though. for cats, this is perfect!
Miriam Sulaiman I am starting too. Put an order for Tasin 108. Gonna do it soon :-)!! So excited. Only the best for my feline baby girl 😊
I give my kitty little chunks of chicken,but never bones.he likes other meats too.not minced though
Consult a vet before doing so.
Hahaha. The cat yowling every time she kissed him. 😂
This is amazing! You put so much love into your cats.
Pet food companies heat their foods to 500 degrees, which kills all the nutrition. Same as feeding our fur babies sawdust. It’s no wonder our pets are becoming so ill. Thank you Jasmine for your nutritious, healthy recipes! Going to the store now!
But im so afraid to give them raw food😭are you sure that raw food is ok for cats .idk why im afraid if we dont cook the food there is bactria thats not good for our cats😢
Our two outdoor cats catch and eat rodents and rabbits, basically each week during the warmer months. We have about 10 indoor cats who never get this chance and 2 outdoor. The 2 outdoor ones ONLY eat the organs and head, then discard the part humans would eat, if we had to eat these small animals. It has always confused us. However these 2 are the healthiest cats we have. This cat food recipe now makes total sense. BTW In the past, we were always bothered that they kill all these little creatures on our somewhat rural property, but it does give them exactly what they need.@@jeonjimin8707
They do add supplements
Cat at the end: Wooow!
Thought you were trying to be trendy til you whipped out the supplements, especially taurine.
I LOVE YOU. FINALLY A VIDEO THATS REALISTIC AND WITH ACTUAL RECIPES.
Great advice and demonstration!
Way to go Jasmine! I wish everyone would feed their cats like this, it’s so easy especially when you have a grinder! 💕
How often and what amount would you feed the cat a day and how long does one container last ?
Found you thru Jackson the cat daddy UA-cam comments and have to say that I'm thankful for finding this! 🙏
love your channel and energy!!!
This looks so healthy for my baby boy I'm gonna cry he deserves the best😭😭😭😭😭😭awesome recipe!!!
My cat was fed dry kibble, and so was my boyfriend's at the shelter. My cat will eat wet food but he'd only eat half and then go stick his head in the kibble bag. My boyfriend's cat once went a day without eating because we tried feeding him organic wet food. He got angry and attacked us later lol.
Lol yeah they're finicky little loves! Definitely requires transitioning and cutting out the dry food entirely. If you reintroduce it at all, even years later (especially if they grew up on it) your cat will devour it like a crackhead, seriously! But yeah cats are sensitive to any change - especially in food or structured routine - so a smooth transition in time always helps :) thanks for watching!
Flazé Da My cats the same way. On top of that, she's also allergic to some component in many cat food (I am pretty sure it's chicken), so it's hard to experiment with healthier brands and find one she likes.
Check your wet food ingredients for an additive called CARRAGEENAN... It caused my cat to have diarrhea. Once I switched to a canned food without it, my kitty is back to normal. But I still want to go back to homemade food.
Be very careful, cats can get fatty liver which is a fatal disease if they don't est within 24hrs. Please transition slowly. Remember dry food has addictive ingredients for a reason so you keep buying it.
I'm on my fifth cat. (first two didn't last a week on the busy street where I was raised,) and this new one (new to me but probably about 8 to 10 years old for a guess,) is THE MOST GENTLE wonderful cat you might ever imagine having. At the same time he is stealth out of doors easily the fastest of all of the cats and feared. He'll only eat the smallest ones, the rest he leaves for me unless I'm fast enough to save them. But, all in all, he is most considerate, gentle as a fine lover, buries his head as deep as he can in my hand, and I'm a very lucky boy !
This was the first video that made it super easy and straightfoward. Thank you for leaving out all the filler!
Best recipe I have try and I didn't have a problem making the transition, thank you Jasmin.
I’ve been feeding a stray cat a diet of tuna, salmon, sardines and chicken. After a month of feeding her, her fur became silky smooth. She feels like a rabbit’s foot. I knew raw was better but for a stray cat who never gets a bath or takes any meds for fleas or anything she skin and fur is in great condition. She eats better than I do!
I am a caretaker of a Mama cat & her 6 kittens. She is a fabulous hunter and has taught her babies to eat "raw". Yes their fur is very soft! I offer them egg, and some of the canned fishes. One of the kittens LOVES peas(from frozen). SO..I'm going to follow Mama's cue & start giving them fresh meat.Chicken livers, turkey legs. Etc.
Daily fish is not good
When I made this for my cats they smelled it and walked away one of them looked at me like WHO DO YOU THINK I AM SOME KIND OF WILD ANIMAL OR SOMETHING ? I'm going to keep trying
😂 I want to try making this but I'm afraid I'll get the same reaction
something she forgot to say in the video, cats dont like cold food... in nature they kill their prey and eat it instantly, so it's warm. you have to warm the food a bit, but not in the microwave, because the microwave ends up cooking it. it's better to store them in plastic bags, so when its time to feed your cat, you put the plastic bag in a bowl of warm water, then you serve.
😂😂😂
Yes it has be “mouse” warm😹
Add Valerian to it. (extract)
This is exactly what I was looking forrrrrrr! 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thank youuuuu❤️
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing!
I just wanna say...My Ginger liked the raw food straight out of my grinder I bought. Thank God. I was prepared to wait months to make it work. Now I hope it helps her lose a few pounds. Love from Arizona.
Wow. Thank you so much. I'm struggling so hard with money and still trying to tend to my 5 family cats to make surer they are healthy. This at-home recipe is perfect for my kitty dealing with gum and tooth injury..
Same her, I just checked one of my cats teeth and they are horrible. Unfortunately I don't have a holistic vet, so they get all the vaccines and non natural medicines but, I figure that with feeding them raw/natural food it might help their health a bit. I haven't started with my cats yet, but it just seems/looks so much more complicated. I legit don't want to spend all this time making this for my cats, I just want to get some meat and cut it up and give it to them.
That was great, thanks for posting. Liked, subscribed, commented, and notification bell rung.
Thank you for sharing your recipe and method! 👍
😳😃 I didn’t know publix would grind the meat for me!!! I was buying all the ingredients and grinding it up with a big old grinder and making a mess and the whole situation just got so overwhelming that I couldn’t continue it. I was making it for 4 cats so did this in bulk. But this is so doable!! Thank you so much!! And yes, I’m a vegetarian so even my partner would say that she didn’t know how I could break down all the chicken and not be mortified but it’s not about me! And using the vitamin for the bones-BRILLIANT!! Thank you thank you thank you!
You can grind bones with a vitamix?? This just changed my life.
I know you probably meant that it’s now easier for you to grind chicken bones for your pet’s food but the way you phrased it makes me think that you’re a cannibal
@@liliths_gf3075 i didn't interpret it like that but that's hilarious
Yes great news. But I don't want to ruin mine. I just wonder if it is just smaller bones or if it will chop the leg bones? Anyone know?
That's chicken leg bones. LOL
@@liliths_gf3075 That's FUNNY. But cannibals feed their bones to hogs. No grinding necessary.
thank you for taking the time to create this video.
Feeling inspired by this video, thanks so much
I can already tell my cats will enjoy eating this from the start. They go crazy when I come back from the groceries and they smell raw chicken. I'm gonna save up money to get a new high end blender & the necessary ingredients to make them raw cat food.
This video is helpful! Thank you so much!
Very helpful! Thanks beautiful lady!🌟
Him a lucky lilBoy! “Stop kissin me Mama!” So Cute; great info! TFS👍🏾
*My cat watching raw cat food videos with me everyday yet refuses to eat raw. 😂
I’m not giving up! Great video. We’ve watched it like 8 times.
Is it safe to have them grind the meat for you? What's the difference if you buy ground already?
I offered my kitten some raw ground beef and some raw ground chicken and she didn't touch it. She does like raw chicken liver.
Cats don't like changes, you gotta slowly introduce wet food (if your cat eats dry food), then raw food. Also, always consult with your vet before introducing raw food, people.
ditto, she also wants different food every meal...
Thank you! Awesome video.
Thank you so much for this, I’ve been looking for a recipe that would be easy enough to make at home! Will definitely be giving this a try!!
Great video! I've been making food for my diabetic cat for about 10 years. Same recipe with a slight variation on the process as I use a grinder. He's 14 now and strong as an ox. Also resolved his struvite crystal problem. He was on the vet food for that when he became diabetic!
My cat has struvite crystals too. I'm scared to give him the dry urinary diet all the time, but can't afford a strong blender to make this.
WHERE can I find these supplements, and how much of each to add to how many pounds of meat when I'm making up batches?
This was a life saver. Thank you!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING....GONNA TRY TO MAKE THE TRANSITION.
Great video! Thank you!
I do have a question on the Vitamix blender. YT link is to a 5300 model blender, Puppyshow link is to a Pro Series 750 model. Would either of these models work or one over the other?
Lynyrd Puyat yesss! both are great and will work for bones. it also depends what you'd want to use it for otherwise, the size of the container you prefer, self cleaning mode, etc. you can Google "difference between Vitamix blenders" if you aren't sure. hope that helps and thanks for watching! 😻
8:57 that is freaking adorable ❤️❤️
Thanks - just the info I was looking for :)
Instant thumbs up bc she let's her kitty lick the spoon. So cute!
I have a cat named Jasmine and now I have a lady named Jasmine is teach me how to make a proper raw diet cat food for her and her sister pumpkin spice this is too awesome and if I had been seeking out Jackson Galaxy videos I would have never stumbled across yours I'm grateful for you and him both
I was wondering how much red meat do you use. I don't see it in the formula. I just got a new grinder and using your recipe. Thank you for your time.
Absolutely BRILLIANT!! thank you xox
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
How much do you usually spend on cat food? Including the vitamins and all that.
I'm doing some planning myself on making this recipe, and thought I would share the calculations that I have done so far. The supplements (not including the filtered water) will run you under $2 per listed recipe. The supplements themselves will initially cost about $130 (this will be more or less depending on taxes/shipping) and will last you for years. Only one will last you just under a year. I have just gotten to pricing out the meat. I have a price for the chicken thighs which I have rounded for the tax in my area to be $8. I have yet to find the other meats in my search, but I hope that sharing the little I have calculated so far will help a few folks out... even though this comment is a year old.
I just found out yesterday my cat has cancer and I want to put her on a raw food diet! Thank you so much for this video!!! And your Q&As on your page are awesome!!
I hope your kitty baby gets better soon, sending you love and healing vibes for her
How's kitty?
@@times461 thank you for asking.. unfortunately, she is no longer here.. She passed away maybe a couple of weeks after I posted that comment. She had a fast growing tumor that was near her jaw, and made it impossible for her to eat. I tried EVERYTHING to get her to eat, even syringe feeding..she would throw it up.. she was starving and I made the difficult choice to help her cross the rainbow bridge (surgery wasn't an option because of location.. she was suffering.. )
Nice to see how much you care for your cat 👍
Thank you for this video!!
also commenting on the pre-made raw food- in order to keep the food fresh they tend to put sulphates and other things in the food which is toxic in the long run to cats. so just go with this rather than the pre-made
I love that our cats are going to be eating much healthier now raw. its almost criminal what they put in the normal cat foods!
I also want to add;
you can get omega 3 wild cought non gmo from amazon for 20 dollars or so. it has a dropper. I was getting the 13 dollar one but realized its cheaper to get the larger size8 oz instead of 3.5 oz for 14 basically.
You are so awesome, thank you for such a sweet video. My wife and I can't wait to try it!
I loved this video! Thank so much, now I know what to feed my fur baby 😁
You are a savior. I bought a Bengal two years ago as my first cat and I've been feeding him one can of wet food a day with dry food twice a day. I'm a little late to the party but I understand they need the wet food for a source of water. I'm going to do this because my kitty is getting fat from the dry food and I feel so bad because it's my fault. I think I'll try making just a quarter of this if I can so I can wean him off the food he eats now.
Hey we're all late to the party. Don't beat yourself up. Something not mentioned in the vid is that taurine doesn't remain stable for long when added, especially when frozen. But since cats can't overdose on it, be sure to add some right before feeding. Taurine is SUPER important for their heart health. Up until the 80's many cats were dying of heart failure until the pet industry figured this out. Oh and make sure you replicate hunting with play time around your feeding schedule. That will help your Bengal get back into shape and draw out his/her natural instincts. Good luck!
@@phillygdev so it would be best to add only before they eat right?
@@MClara-ep4sf Yup!
@@phillygdev thanks for the answer! I'm going to start transitioning to wet food, which my cat absolutely hates... gonna have some fun months
@@MClara-ep4sf lol Yeah it's difficult. Take your time and have patience. Starting with canned food maybe easier as opposed to making wet food you're not sure your cats will eat. My picky cats haven't rejected Wellness chicken entree. You may not get them to an 100% wet food diet, but some is better than none. Also, add stainless steel water fountains if you don't have already, to help with hydration. 🤗
Hi thanks for this, I have scrolled the comments but nobody asked the question "what bones did you use that blended that easily without breaking the blade?" Thank you!
Really good video!
The only legit homemade tutorial for cat food!! Thank you for sharing this!!
how did you find a place to grind meats for you.. all my local places look at me sideways when i ask that
Go to Cabella's and get a 3/4hp grinder because you need POWER to grind bones. I also make sausage, Italian with Hatch Chile is worth the price of the grinder all by itself!!! 😸
I wasn't aware that a vitamix could grind bones, great to know :)
Thank you so much I was looking for this kind of food and where to get thank you sooooo much.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
This video was super helpful! How much and how many times per day do you feed him this recipe? Also, do you know the calorie content per serving? I have two overweight cats and two healthy weight cats, all of them seniors, who I am transitioning to a raw, homemade diet over the next month. Thanks for your help!
Hi, thank you! I feed him twice a day. I'm going to make a video on that soon. It may be tougher for senior cats to transition, but I could be wrong! May just take a little longer, especially if they're coming from dry food. I can make a quick video on how to transition if it's helpful :) and I don't calculate the calorie content (just go by portion).. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Sorry if it's been asked already but how much did it cost you to make all of that?
ThatOneGuy hi! I made a video breaking down the costs here: ua-cam.com/video/JuFug_8LNbI/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching! 😻
17,78.- cents
Thanks so much for the recipe, my brother and I have been set on switching our cats and dogs to BARF. So far so good!
I love watching your videos because he's an exact duplicate of my best friend kitty I list a few months ago. I miss him so much!
Hi! Thanks for these “how tos” on raw cat food recipes! I recently switched my 2 cats over to this recipe and they love it! However, I’m new to raw food and I want to know how long I can store the raw cat food in my fridge for?
She said 2 days in the video.
You can freeze portions in Ziploc bags, it will last for months. Just take it out and put it in a bowl of warm water and it will defrost in 15 minutes. Or you can take it out from the night before, put it in a bowl of water and put it in the fridge and it will slow defrost overnight and ready to go the following day.
How long will this keep in the freezer? I know that I can keep my own meat in the freezer for 3 months before I take it out and cook it, but is it different if the meat is only going to be thawed? It might take a while to transition my cats from wet food to raw food. Great video; thank you for the clear and concise steps!
Denise Tang I usually make it as needed and the batch will last a little over two weeks. I don't like to keep the raw food in the fridge longer than necessary - each Tupperware is typically 4-5 meals, so about three days in the fridge (including thawing time). I'd think the food can keep well in the freezer for at least a month if not two, but wouldn't push it only because cats are so finicky and freshest is best :) thanks for watching!
Love this! Do the eggs need to be pasteurized like noted in the recipe on your blog, Puppy? A friend just gave me chickens from her backyard.
Simply great!! Thanks a lot, very good diet!!
This is making me hungry for some reason...
LOL! My cat meows each time I kiss her as well
Seto KaibaX 😹💕
YAY I'M SO GLAD I STUMBLED ON YOUR CHANNEL!! A couple of questions: How have your kitties taken to the diet? Have you seen any improvements? Is it more cost efficient than regular store bought cat kibble?? I hope you see this! I really want to start in this direction that feeding my cat kibble!!
Thank you.
I'd imagine you only have the energy and motivation to do this for your cat if he/she is not a dick. Luckily for me, my cat is essentially a loving dog and deserves this.
made me lol 😹 but yaaas
I wear those dish washing gloves I bought specificly for making cat food! 😄 I'm not touching it!
Thank you!
Awwwwww I have a cat, but he has UTI. It's so amazing that you made the food.
