[Felvtalk] Does anyone have homemade cat food recipes to share?

go to 
www.healthypets.mercola.com 
Dr. Becker has numerous articles on food for dogs & cats + she has a book "Real Food for Healthy Dogs & Cats". She states and I have read other places that if we make our own food for a fur family member it's so very important it has all the "right" ingredients. I was just scrolling through articles found some very interesting about food - might try Dr. Beckers top food for cats or something like that to access some of them - cats/dogs are carnivores was in one head line 
Canned food was the best because of water content

Hello everyone, 

My FeLV+ cat Tigger is doing very well at the moment, however, he did have a swollen lymph node, and even though he is past the initial period of illness, he is still positive. He does seem to be cold quite often even though we have the thermostat turned way up for him, and he also seems to sleep a lot more than he ever did before so I am now giving him a liquid vitamin/mineral supplement with iron in it. 

  

When he was very sick and not eating/drinking, the vet told me to feed him anything he wants. What he chose was Friskies salmon pate canned food. Now that he eats better, he has really cut down on eating the Blue Buffalo dry food. In my reading I have heard that it is not good for him to have any “fish-based” food. I have seen this mentioned in several articles. I think it has something to do with bacteria but I’m not sure. 

  

I am wondering if any of you make your own cat food. I once had to boil chicken and rice together for a cat who was sick, and as I remember she didn’t like it much. So – I am looking for a way to make something out of “people quality” meat and maybe put a little rice in it, but I am thinking it will have to have a “pate” consistency and be fairly flavorful. This kitty doesn’t seem to think he should eat any people food, whereas my other one believes she should only eat people food. 

  

Any ideas would be appreciated – I will go to whatever lengths needed to make a good food for him. (I have tried the fresh cat food at Pet Food Plus and he won’t touch it. I have also tried all the other canned stuff, even the super expensive kinds.) 

  

Thanks!!
