Chapter 14 - Recipe With Bone

This recipe is very similar in ingredients and proportions as the one
presented in Feline Future’s The Backyard Predator.99


Approximately two and one-half pounds of meat with bone.

One-half pound (200 grams) raw heart from the same species of animal

the muscle meat comes from. If you absolutely cannot source heart

substitute 2,000 mg taurine. Note: if you do not use heart, add an

additional one-half pound (200 grams) of meat. If you are concerned

about loss of taurine due to freezing, feel free to add 2,000 mg of taurine

even if you are using raw heart. It is probably over-kill, but it will not

harm your cat.

One-quarter pound (or 100 grams) raw liver from the same species of

animal the muscle meat comes from. If you absolutely cannot source liver

substitute vitamin A/D capsules. You will want approximately 20,000 IU

vitamin A and whatever amount of vitamin D comes in the capsule for

each recipe. Vitamin A/D capsules usually come in amounts of 10,000 IU

vitamin A and 400 IU vitamin D per capsule. You can also use 2

tablespoons of cod liver oil, however, cod liver oil goes rancid quite

quickly. I prefer the dry vitamin A/D capsules. Note: if you do not use

liver, add an additional one-quarter pound (100 grams) of meat.

If you are feeding rabbit or turkey and cannot source rabbit or

turkey liver or heart, substitute chicken liver or heart. These

substitutions are not ideal, but it is better than using supplemental

taurine and vitamins A and D.

2 high-quality raw egg yolks

2 teaspoons psyllium husk powder; if you are using whole psyllium husk

pods, use 4 teaspoons

1 cup (or more) spring (or filtered) water

2,000 mg salmon oil (usually 2 capsules)
2 teaspoons kelp and dulse combined; do not use all kelp. If you cannot


source dulse, use just one teaspoon of kelp

50 mg. vitamin B complex

400 IU vitamin E

2 glandular capsules

Preparation: remove as much skin from chicken or turkey as you can.

Cut as much meat off the bone as you can and cut it into chunks the size

that your cat will eat. Mine are approximately quarter-sized. Put the

chunks in the bowl.

Grind the heart and liver into the same bowl the chunks of meat are. Then

grind the bone. Run the salmon oil capsules through the grinder with the

meat. This eliminates the need to prick the capsule to express the oil out.

It is safe for your cat to consume the capsules.

Gently mix to combine.

In a separate bowl add the egg yolks, water, psyllium husk powder,

salmon oil (if not run through grinder), vitamin B complex, vitamin E and

glandulars. The taurine and vitamin A/D capsules (if used) should be

added as well. Mix well with a whisk. Gently fold the supplement

mixture into meat. Divide the mixture into serving packages and freeze or

refrigerate.

vitamins A and D.

If you are using lamb and cannot source lamb heart or liver, use

beef or calf heart or liver. These substitutions are not ideal, but it is

better than using supplemental taurine and vitamins A and D.

2 tablespoons bone meal (human grade or high quality pet grade, not the

bone meal you can buy in a garden supply store)
