The cute fur balls living in your home can be very choosey when it comes to eating. Like everything else they do, cats do throw tantrums while eating. Same delicacy everyday might become boring and they can go on a hunger strike. A cat often loses appetite if it does not likes it food. Switching cat food brands can be risky and hard on your budget. Hence, I have found four homemade best cat food recipes that are nutritious, delicious and economical at the same time. All you need is the will to cook and a heart filled with love for your fluff-ball.

THE GUT PROTECTOR:

Homemade cat food recipe number 1 is what I call the “Gut-Protector.”

Ingredients:

Chicken/Beef Mince – 750 grams

Carrots – 150 grams

Pumpkin – 100 grams

Recipe:

Wash the mince thoroughly in plenty of water. Put the mince in a cooking pot and add ¾ water in the pan. Boil the mince until cooked. Meanwhile, wash and peel the vegetables. Cut the carrots and pumpkin into small cubes. In a separate pan, boil the vegetables for 10-15 minutes. Put the boiled carrots and pumpkin into a blender and blend them into a thick paste. Take it out in a separate container and let it settle. Once the mince is cooked, stain the stock into a separate container. Take out the mince in a large bowl and add the vegetable paste. Mix until the two are combined well. You can serve it as it is or add the stock for gravy if your cat likes juicy food. To make the food more nutritious, you may add cat supplement capsule powder in it.

The above mentioned homemade cat food recipe can be stored for months. It is best advisable to make fresh food every week or at least every month. Make sure to follow the exact meat to the vegetable proportion that is 75% meat and 25% vegetables, for a balanced diet. Decreasing the amount of meat or increasing the proportion of vegetables can deprive your cat of the essential and correct amount of nutrients.  

Nutritional Benefit:

Protein is a major portion of cat’s diet and a major source of nutrition for them as cats are carnivorous in nature. Cats derive all the major nutrients essential for them, like vitamins, taurine, arginine, and niacin, from meat.

Pumpkin provides essential fiber to your cat that will improve their digestive system and decrease the chances of constipation. Adding pumpkin to your fluffball's meal means adding Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and many other nutrients.

Carrots are a source of vital vitamins and minerals for your cat in addition to fiber.

MASHED PULAO:

Ingredients:

Boneless Chicken - 750 grams

Brown Rice – 100 grams

Potatoes – 100 grams

Recipe:

Boil the chicken in a cooking pot until cooked. Stain the stock into a separate bowl and put the boiled chicken in a separate dish. Blend the chicken in a blender to mash it. You can also mash it in a mortar. Boil the rice and potatoes in separate containers until cooked. Peel off the potatoes and mash them as well as the rice. Add the mashed chicken, rice, and potatoes into a large bowl and mix until the three are combined well. Add the chicken stock to the delicacy to make gravy. Otherwise, can be served as it is.

The above mentioned homemade cat food recipe can be stored for a month.

Nutritional Value:

Both rice and potatoes are a source of fiber and carbohydrates for your cat. In addition, potatoes are a source of potassium, Vitamin B, and Vitamin C for your Feline Bestie. Rice is also very effective if your fur partner is suffering from diarrhea.
