Final Comments


Any homemade diet should be varied on a regular basis so that different ingredients add to the cat's diet. Variations to this recipe can include:

• Substitute turkey for the chicken.
• Substitute mackerel, clams, or other fish for the salmon.
• Substitute grated carrots for the chopped greens.
• Substitute tuna oil or water for the chicken fat.
• Add a dash of catnip to the finished meal.

You can double this recipe to make several meals ahead of time, but do not make more than 3 days' worth in advance. Keep the food in the refrigerator until you serve it.
