Hey guys, happy SUPER belated Caturday (aka MEOWnday)! 😹 Remember to check out the video description for all of the links - including the website with the full recipe & ingredients, other videos, the Cat Stuff Playlist, and more! P.S. If Puppy was to write an e-book (or we are to offer one on CatLadyFitness.com), what would YOU want it to be all about? Let us know here in the comments ;)
Hello what is the alternative for salmon oil? Something with the same nutrient content? I'm from Philippines and I want to make this recipe for my pet and for business. TIA 😊
Hello! My one cat has no teeth. Would it harm the raw food to blend it all? Does that break something down too much? I feel like the skins especially would do him in.
Im so glad I found you. Years ago, I learned to feed my doberman raw prey model and there was a HUGE improvement in his health...dandruff, dry skin, gunky eyes imediatly stopped and his coat and muscle tone was spectacular after only a couple of weeks on the raw diet opposed to a very "high quality"....meaning expensive kibble. I tried to get my middle aged cat on a raw prey diet and wasnt successful. I was also unsure of suppliments as well. He was addicted to the crappy wet stuff in the cans so I gave up and that's what he ate till he passed away at the age of 13....not very old for a cat and he was the love of my life. He had hyperthyroid towards the end and I feel guilty that I didn't get him on raw. That being said, its "kitten season" now and I plan to adopt a kitten from the local humane society in the next few weeks. Do you have any suggestions for raw kitten food?....Would the kitten thrive on the cat food recipe in this tutorial?...or is there more I need to know? Thanks in advance.
redhousepress I'm so sorry for your loss :( But eeeep YAAYY for kitten season and adopting! Check out my Cat Stuff Playlist where I do have videos about kittens and raw feeding 😻😻 and thank you so much for the kind words and watching! Good luck with the new lucky fur baby!
Thanks for your response.... Yup. I cant wait to find my new kitten. I'm an old lady of 67 and Ive only adopted at shelters all my life. So now I will dive into your playlists and learn how to raise a healthy happy kitty on raw food. Thanks so much. Your the best!
redhousepress Hey! I have a Doberman and I would like to know what you feed your Doberman, how much and how you transition your Doberman from kibble to raw
Hi Grace. Big Dukie was my daughters dog. A friend gave him to her and he was eating kibble. Then when she went off to college, he stayed home with me. I took him to the vets to be altered but the vet ran a blood test and said he had Van Willendorfs...a genetic bleeding disorder and she wouldnt take the chance of him bleeding out on her during surgery. His ears had been clipped and tail docked before my daughter got him so I thought this was odd. I had never had a Doberman so I researched all about them. I learned that they were often diagnosed with "Wobblers". a condition that was caused by weak neck muscles resulting in back leg/hip weakness. I concluded that a dog with a long neck needed lots of exercize to keep it strong and the nerves healthy. It was then that I discovered the whole prey model of feeding where he had to work for that food instead of lapping kibble from a bowl. I started by giving him pieces of raw cut up chicken as a treat. Then one day I presented him with a whole chicken...outside in the yard. He didn't know what to do with it. He gnawed on it a bit and then left it and some crows took off with it . After that, he hated crows and he tended to gulp down too fast so I started feeding him frozen chicken hind quarters. He loved them. Then transitioned to frozen everything. pork with ribs, beef ribs, and roasts...all frozen. Also organ meats. Id buy the meat and organs and put a meals worth in plastic bags and freeze. A breakfast would be a frozen clump of beef liver, a chicken hindquarter and a big hunk of pork.. Dinner would be some lamb kidney and a chicken hind quarter. I pretty much followed the 80% meat, 10%bone 10% organ meat model. This was roughly the ideal. He loved this frozen food and his jaws and neck got a good work out. Teeth too. The change in his eyes, coat and muscle tone was unbelievable in less than 2 weeks. Really extraordinary. People were astonished and he was one happy boy. I highly recommend the whole prey model. Each dog is different. Sadly, he went to the rainbow bridge a couple of years ago...we all miss him now but he really lived the dream when he was with us. Hope this helped. There are raw prey model groups on facebook and yahoo. Lots of info there. Good luck!
redhousepress I’m sorry to hear what happen to him but it sounds like he had a good life with a loving family who actually care about him! My Doberman who is not neutered had his ears cropped and tail docked too before I had got him. I notice that the ‘high quality’ and expensive kibble, I had transition him on, was doing more harm to him than good. I just did some research on PMR and I have fallen in love with the idea of it. I want to start his transition into the diet immediately and I’ll start with what you told me, raw chicken treats! I agree with you on the frozen food too. May I ask how frozen was the food when you feed your Doberman? How it straight out of the freezer or did you leave it thaw out a little?
Been in such a sad situation in and out of the Pet ER , vet for my kitty who’s been blocked and had kidney stones removed . Spent thousands and hrs still blocked and miserable . The only thing getting me through these last few days was watching these videos and hoping for my baby to come Home so i can make all of this for home. I have everything in my amazon cart just waiting for the vets to give him back 😢
@@yeameow the diet was doing good until he started getting stressed trying to go outside wirh the other cats just make sure you always hydrate your dry food
@@consueloenlatierra6680 we put him to sleep because he got really sick again while I was out of town and his kidney ruptured it was the Dr's choice. He was so young
You deserve so many more subscribers! Thank you so much for making these videos! I’m transitioning my car right now and your videos have been so helpful. Glad I found you. Keep it up 💗
My oncologist warned me against raw. But, my cat has been struggling with SML for nearly 2 1/2 years and raw cured my friend's cat with the same issue. Lived to be 24!! So, took my cat OFF chemo for nearly a month (wasn't working anyway - oncologist's idea), reduced his prednisolone, and off we went. He took to it right away. LOVED IT. And, I was so relived that he was finally eating healthy. Then, he stared getting diarrhea, small bouts of it. Then, vomited a couple of times and then BAD diarrhea. And now, he's hiding in the closet waiting to be taken to the vet tomorrow. I sad. 😥
I also recently used this London broil for my cats and googled how to cook it for myself as i never seen a cut of beef like it I’m curious how it would taste lol
Since you are adding beef meat into the chicken/bone/skin mix.. would this slightly throw off the ratio you would need of bone and skin? Wouldn't you need more bone? I would love to make a huge batch of this but I wanted to figure out a way of calculating the percentage of bone I'd need for this recipe. What if I wanted to make it strictly beef? I hope my question makes sense.
Question: if you're adding beef as boneless muscle meat, why the need to take out 3 out of 12 bones from the chicken thighs? I thought the point of de-boning the chicken thighs was to dilute the calcium to phosphorus ratio. If you're adding boneless beef, wouldn't that serve as the 20 - 30% de-boned meat? It seems to me that this recipe would be a lot lower in bone than usual.
I live in India. I have no access to raw meat which can be directly consumed. So I am planning to either cook or par- cook it in a pressure cooker before feeding my cat. My question is what can I do to compensate for the nutrient loss? Is there anything I can add to the recipe to make up for it?
Thank you for sharing what has worked for your cat and wanted to let you know about a few places that sale rabbit. Hare-today, raw feeding miami and viva raw (I think).
Help help. I can't figure out the measurements from the scale I purchased. I'm using your cat lady fitness calculator to measure out supplements and the grams doesn't have a point on it. So I had half the bottle in the bowl too much. I'm making food for bunch of stray 🐈 . I'm stuck please help.
I have a table outside so the cat watches me make it through the window. Otherwise she’d lose her mind. The sharp kitchen shears are a life saver. I prefer the chunks of meat compared to the ground because my cat tends to wolf down the ground food. Since she suffers from indigestion, I find she does better if she chews it. I put lysine in my food for her too cuz she has conjunctivitis and since I started using it the vet says her eye has cleared up. But I notice it comes back if I don’t add it to her food. She loves this food. I put it in small recycled glass jars to freeze. The vet says my cat is very healthy now. She wasn’t when I got her from the rescue. The raw food really cleared up her digestion troubles. She would cry about her upset tummy every time she pooped in her box, which smelled like undirected rotting cat food. Now her poops smell like next to nothing. She doesn’t fart anymore. And her fur is tons softer. And she is no longer malnourished. She is a super sassy and happy Siamese cat.
Hello From Montreal ! I just stepped upon your videos and I love you :)) thank you so much for all you are doing, i am introducing the raw food to my Bengal Luna and waiting for my kitten mid-march, Highland Lynx. I am definatly trying this recipe. My Luna REEAALY loves porc though (no so keen on chicken) You should see how she pushes my hand to have bites of my porc on my plate..lolll I buy her the human baby cup of porc(at walmarts frozen food(it's basically just porc and water). So if i do a Pork version i will make it in my slow cooker i think .... Can't wait to see how she feels about this recipe, she does love all types of ground meat , i give her a few raw bites when i make spaghetti sauce. :)
Arianna Quiero lite salt is made with potassium and cats also need b vitamins just like us, there’s more than likely enough of the b vitamins and taurine in the food but it doesn’t hurt to add some
My cat doesnt seem to like chicken and only eats beef friskies but lately has been loosing interest in that now too or he eats and very shortly later pukes it up . I dont gave the budget to buy him the expensive science diet he loves 😔do you have any suggestions??????
OMG I (and my cat sofia) are so glad to have found you! just made a small test batch to work her slowly into it...she loves it! My chicken hearts came also with gizzards, do you use them too? Also some vet raw food videos suggest a bit of pumpkin/squash for fiber and yogurt for probiotics added to the mix which is very close to yours. Do you give Puppy pumpkin/yogurt or believe in needing vegetable fiber/probiotics?
@@Greekhistoryyy I would just give a bit separately as a treat because she loved the taste. Also easy to just mix a tiny bit into each meal. about 1 tsp - 1 tbsp total over 24hrs works for most cats. good luck!
@@Greekhistoryyy i buy plain cooked pumpkin in a can (NOT pumpkin pie mix, be careful! JUST plain pumpkin), mix a bit in each meal. I then store it in ice cube trays in the freezer as it goes bad after 2-3 days in the fridge, this way you can always thaw out small portions!
Why do you blend it up? Some people don’t. Can’t cats eat them in chunks and isn’t it better for their teeth to chew/eat the raw bones? Trying to find a good recipe to switch my cats to raw, so I’d love to know what you think.
the only problem with somehow chucking the bones up is if there very big youll have to monitor them. if you want to give them bone you can always give them a meaty bone for them to eat, she has a video on that also for the meaty bones at least just with supervision
Your flame point is so beautiful. I have a lynx point. She loves her raw cat food. I think it will be a lot cheaper to make it. I appreciate the info. My cat is so much healthier since I changed her diet from the commercial food.
Hi Jasmine, I feed my boy Max raw cat food too! Does you're B vitamin have a strong vitamin smell? The one I have does and for the 1st 3 days of a new batch he won't eat it. I even add fortiflora to help him. I'm thinking of trying a new B vitamin. Maybe the one you get.
after made I freeze them, and take out enought for the next couple days. (your only doing this next step when your ready to warm cats food) I always get a seperate container put it on the scale then turn it on, it should read zero. ounce you get the amount weighed for you cat or all the cats. then put the lid back on fill your sink with really hot water( only as hot as your sink water gets) let it sit for a little, it doesnt take long at all maybe 1 to 2 min. take it put and put it in your cats bowls thats it. if you have multiple cats do the same thing as in beginning but there food bowls on scale turn it on and weigh each cats portions out.
I am really excited about making their food. If you have rabbit recipe, I would be very interested. I can grind with bones and organs. Do I need to mix with chicken or beef?
What type of blender is that? I really need one that can grind bones that effective, cause my cats just spit out any bone pieces, even the smallest ones.
Thank you for your interesting videos. You are awesome. What’s your opinion on the cat food premix like Alnutrin, Feline Instincts or TC Feline? It looks like it simplifies the raw recipe quite a lot.
Amazing video. Any suggestions for a cheaper blender that does the trick though anyone? The $500 blender is just an absolute no for me but I want to do this for my cat
OMG!!! PUPPY is awesome! I want him... lol On another note. I've been thinking of introducing my 2yr old cat "Samson" to a raw meat diet. Could you please suggest a portion percentage that won't upset his stomach.. He's primarily been eating dry food. Thanks!
Hi, we created your chicken recipe, but I think I added too much fatm Our cat ate it at first, a little bit, but now he won't touch it. We had him on dry food and had to switch him to canned wet food because he was breaking out in really bad allergies. He started eating the wet food from a can and so we tried to transition him to your chicken recipe, again I think we put too much fat, but he nibbled on it the first day and we thought it was a winner but now for the last 2 days he won't come near it. Do you think we should add some red meat into it and maybe mix it in with the chicken recipe that we already created? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
Awesome video. I finally made your last recipe only its more like this one since I added beef and my cat loves it. Hes never eaten his food so fast in one sitting. Thank you so much for these videos
Hi Rieyan! Simply include the beef as part of the main muscle meat portion :) you can use the recipe calculator like I show in the video. Hope that helps & Thanks for watching! 😻
My cat hardly drinks water and had her first UTI. Is salmon oil a good idea to put in her water to get her to drink it?? How many drops would be ideal per day
I makes my cat Wetfood instead of rawfood. I want to make rawfood but im not really sure😐 because chicken here are having injection even though I make boil chicken breast for my cats. Plus, the taurine, vitamin e and that other powder is so much costly. 😖 I just feel like I cant afford it. I just have omega 3 1000 mg which I mix after I boil the chicken. I read on the internet that every 4,5kg cats needs only around 250mg. So I guess thats enough.
Hi! Are you by any chance Indonesian? Just my two cents, it seems like chicken breast and fish oil only are not a balanced diet. If you can't get the supplements, I think you can get the liver, heart, and bones and just cut it into chunks instead of grind it, so the taurine etc don't get destroyed and hence there's no need for added supplements :)
Also I believe beef has some decent taurine levels if you can get your hands on it. You can find tables with the taurine amount for meats in different forms.
You cannot feed just chicken. A balanced raw diet for a cat must have a rotation of a minimum of three different proteins, fed over one week. And must be balanced as follows ; 82 -83% muscle meat / 7-8% bone / 5 % liver and 5% other secreting organ. This video does not teach how to feed a balanced raw diet to a cat.
Hello, I made this recipe and my chicken skin turned green, any idea why that would be? Leftover skins in different bag are still normal color, only the one in the mix
As long as the kitten is starting to eat solids feed them what your gonna feed them for the rest of there lives. dont change supplements, its just like any other cat food out there they all have supplements cuz that cat cant get everyhting they need since there not catching there whole prey like in the wild.
Hey do you feed your fur babies kangaroo ive heard it’s really good for them and a great/cheaper version to using rabbit my little Maine coon was born 2 days ago so I’ve got a 14 week wait till I can pick him up but I’m going to go down the raw food avenue this time because our little boy that just passed away a little over a week ago died from bad kidneys as someone baited him so our new little baby won’t be allowed outside unless he’s on a harness love your vids thanks for the help cheers.
Hello! Thank you for this video. I did a rough version of your recipe as a test run for my kitty. I spent about $10 between two stores and ground the meat all down. I wasn’t super exact with the measurements since I figured it was a test to see how he’d respond to it. Thus I also excluded the supplements at this time. It was hard to get him to eat it. He ate a tiny bit, but I’d have to hold him there for the two meals (the first day) to make him eat any of it...otherwise he smelled it and walked away and complained that he couldn’t eat. First time it was cold, second time it was room temperature. Up to this point in time, he’s been eating Blue Wilderness dry cat food and Pate Nutro...I guess my question is, is there any benefit to having some of his meals forced on him and be raw? Does it help flush out the bad ingredients from his processed foods? Maybe I can slowly increase it over time, but this first day was rough, even got some smell complaints from the hubbies. lol
definitly a work in progress with cats that have been fed dry for a long time. i finally got my probably 15 year old cat switched over. sever health conditins with my 3 year old cat that i lost pushed me to do everything i could to help him. he never got to try the cat food. but my 2 cats that where raised strictly on the raw food are very very healthy and have never at processed cat food they wont even touch it. try wet food for a bit and go from there that what helped mine took a bit bit im finally at the raw food with him. Could you tell me what kind of smell cuz it shouldnt smell bad. i can smell all my raw ingredints and they dont really smell like much definitly dont smell strong or bad?
Try a little Fortiflora sprinkled on top or grind up the dry food and sprinkle on top. My 5 year old cat took to raw food fairly quick and I weaned him off of dry food (bad stuff) and only gave him small amounts as a treat. Took about 2-3 weeks. I also use Lisa A. Pierson, DVM half raw recipe. Main thing is, get your cat off of dry cat food and switch him to wet. I spent thousands last year on vet bills for urinary tract problems for my cat because he wasn't drinking enough water.
I started feeding my four month old kitten with raw food a few days ago, got all the ingredients and Followed the recipe with chicken thighs and he's been constipated. it's really bothering me. HELP!
the second they can eat reg food away from momma cat. i have 2 cats that havent had a drop of anything else there entire life. just the same with all kitten feeding you feed them more often since there growing thats it.
Good Lord! Shears?! I have 17 cats in my shelter. I use a butcher's cleaver, a cutting board, and a food processor. I also stay chunky, but I have to make 5 lbs of this stuff every 4 days. I don't have time for shears, lol.
Your cat looks like my Coconut, but with more orange on him and mine has a striped tail. Love your videos, been looking for a better quality cat food without the giant price and could not find anything that was perfect, they all had some ingredient that was not healthy, so I am going to make my own.
Hello! I've been wanting to switch my cat over to a raw food diet for a while now, but I cant find chicken hearts anywhere! Is there anything else I could use to substitute? Thanks so much! Miranda
I have a new kitty and I was researching reasons she is vomiting and came across your videos. Intrigued I was curious if your recipes were safe for her she is 11 weeks old. Thank you in advance 😉
Hi Pandastic! Check out this video showing you how to do just that: ruclips.net/video/WNCzfJjtK8o/видео.html 😻also make sure to check out CatLadyFitness.com because I have substitutions for bones, calculators, and more there :) thanks for watching!
So you just put the bones in the blender? 😱 I thought I'd need a meat grinder for that, I've been using a completer until I can buy a grinder & start incorporating bone.
My cat isn’t super crazy about chicken (except the skins,he loves em) but he LOVES red meat, I got him some ground bison the other day and he wouldn’t even let me warm it up for him lmao.
"NOOOOOOOO"! hahhah so great. Thank you so much for your efforts! I actually spent 100$ on supplements yesterday and am so excited to switch my cat to your raw cat food recipe!
Hi! I have 2 questions: 1. I buy my chicken thighs in fillet and the bones separately, so the "take 2 bones from 10 thighs" ratio kind of confuse me. Is it ok if I put 10% of bones from the total weight of the chicken thighs meat (referring to 80/10/5/5 model)? For example, if I were to use 1kg of chicken thighs, I use 100gr of bones? 2. I have some chicken gizzards, if I were to use gizzards, is it ok if I reduce some amount from the chicken thigh? Example, original recipe calls for 1kg of chicken thigh, can I use 800gr of thighs and 200gr of gizzard? What thigh/meat:gizzard ratio do you suggest? Thanks in advance! Sending nose kisses to Puppy
You had me until you mentioned "the calculation" part. Now it's becoming confusing . Couldn't you just eyeball it you gotta bout ...3 pounds of meat there and just sprinkle some of this and some of THAT in there? Does it HAVE to be so um "PRECISE"????!!!!

Hello what is the alternative for salmon oil? Something with the same nutrient content? I'm from Philippines and I want to make this recipe for my pet and for business. TIA 😊
Can kelp be used instead of salt?
Hello! My one cat has no teeth. Would it harm the raw food to blend it all? Does that break something down too much? I feel like the skins especially would do him in.
Im so glad I found you. Years ago, I learned to feed my doberman raw prey model and there was a HUGE improvement in his health...dandruff, dry skin, gunky eyes imediatly stopped and his coat and muscle tone was spectacular after only a couple of weeks on the raw diet opposed to a very "high quality"....meaning expensive kibble. I tried to get my middle aged cat on a raw prey diet and wasnt successful. I was also unsure of suppliments as well.

wow, this channel is the best cat channel i've come across so far
btw, do you recommend feeding them boiled eggs?
love it thank yu
Thanks so much!! This will be the next batch I make 😊 They're loving it all so far!
Thanks for the advice. One cat has made the transition and the other is being slowly transitioned soon.

what is the Blender you are using in this video?
I don’t remember where I watched chicken gizzards being part of chicken raw food recipe for cats. Are gizzards good for them?
Do you ha e a healthy gravy recipe? Sometimes they don't eat their raw food unless i put junk food in it. Thank you
Should vary the meats for an all round nutrients.
And shouldn't you add more bone to account for the added beef meat?
I have a table outside so the cat watches me make it through the window. Otherwise she’d lose her mind. The sharp kitchen shears are a life saver. I prefer the chunks of meat compared to the ground because my cat tends to wolf down the ground food. Since she suffers from indigestion, I find she does better if she chews it. I put lysine in my food for her too cuz she has conjunctivitis and since I started using it the vet says her eye has cleared up. But I notice it comes back if I don’t add it to her food. She loves this food. I put it in small recycled glass jars to freeze. The vet says my cat is very healthy now. She wasn’t when I got her from the rescue. The raw food really cleared up her digestion troubles. She would cry about her upset tummy every time she pooped in her box, which smelled like undirected rotting cat food. Now her poops smell like next to nothing. She doesn’t fart anymore. And her fur is tons softer. And she is no longer malnourished. She is a super sassy and happy Siamese cat.
Do you have a version in excel of recipe calculation that we can down load?
Awesome. Thank you. You made it look easy. I am trying to determine if it is financially better for raw for my, now 4 cats.
Hello From Montreal ! I just stepped upon your videos and I love you :)) thank you so much for all you are doing, i am introducing the raw food to my Bengal Luna and waiting for my kitten mid-march, Highland Lynx. I am definatly trying this recipe. My Luna REEAALY loves porc though (no so keen on chicken) You should see how she pushes my hand to have bites of my porc on my plate..lolll
I buy her the human baby cup of porc(at walmarts frozen food(it's basically just porc and water). So if i do a Pork version i will make it in my slow cooker i think .... Can't wait to see how she feels about this recipe, she does love all types of ground meat , i give her a few raw bites when i make spaghetti sauce. :)
why do they need Vitamin B and Lite salt??
Arianna Quiero lite salt is made with potassium and cats also need b vitamins just like us, there’s more than likely enough of the b vitamins and taurine in the food but it doesn’t hurt to add some
Hey cat lady! Are you still loving your blender? It's currently out of stock on amazon. Looking for an alternative.
My cat doesnt seem to like chicken and only eats beef friskies but lately has been loosing interest in that now too or he eats and very shortly later pukes it up . I dont gave the budget to buy him the expensive science diet he loves 😔do you have any suggestions??????
What bones did you use from the chicken? Thank you.
she always uses chicken thighs for the recipe so it would be the chicken thigh bones
Thanks for the tip
Were do you get your cat vitamins
Hi, may i know if those l-lysine sold in human pharmacy are safe for cats
Is there a difference between cuts of chicken meat? The store didn’t have thighs so I got leg quarters
OMG I (and my cat sofia) are so glad to have found you! just made a small test batch to work her slowly into it...she loves it! My chicken hearts came also with gizzards, do you use them too? Also some vet raw food videos suggest a bit of pumpkin/squash for fiber and yogurt for probiotics added to the mix which is very close to yours. Do you give Puppy pumpkin/yogurt or believe in needing vegetable fiber/probiotics?
Kimberly Skrobol how do u put pumpkin in raw food
@@Greekhistoryyy I would just give a bit separately as a treat because she loved the taste. Also easy to just mix a tiny bit into each meal. about 1 tsp - 1 tbsp total over 24hrs works for most cats. good luck!
Kimberly Skrobol do you mix it raw food and do you also cook it
@@Greekhistoryyy i buy plain cooked pumpkin in a can (NOT pumpkin pie mix, be careful! JUST plain pumpkin), mix a bit in each meal. I then store it in ice cube trays in the freezer as it goes bad after 2-3 days in the fridge, this way you can always thaw out small portions!
I cannot find chicken hearts ANYYYWHERE :( Is there anything I can substitute?
Tounge and red meat but mostly tounge and u can also go to butters farmer market and Asian markets to find it it somtims comes with liver to :3
Hello a little bit late but would this diet be good for dogs as well?
Yes this is pretty good but dog raw diet is kinda different to cat some add other things and I recommend checking out the primal pack and do ur re
Are all those supplements available in Europe ?
Can a Nutribullet be able to grind the bones?
Why do you blend it up? Some people don’t. Can’t cats eat them in chunks and isn’t it better for their teeth to chew/eat the raw bones? Trying to find a good recipe to switch my cats to raw, so I’d love to know what you think.
the only problem with somehow chucking the bones up is if there very big youll have to monitor them. if you want to give them bone you can always give them a meaty bone for them to eat, she has a video on that also for the meaty bones at least just with supervision
Your flame point is so beautiful. I have a lynx point. She loves her raw cat food. I think it will be a lot cheaper to make it. I appreciate the info. My cat is so much healthier since I changed her diet from the commercial food.
Hi Jasmine,
I feed my boy Max raw cat food too! Does you're B vitamin have a strong vitamin smell? The one I have does and for the 1st 3 days of a new batch he won't eat it. I even add fortiflora to help him. I'm thinking of trying a new B vitamin. Maybe the one you get.
I was curious what is the ratio of calcium to phosphorus in your recipe. I heard too much phosphorus is bad for kidneys. Thank you!
Hi! How do you store these? In the freezer or refrigerator? Also how do you feed after getting out of the freezer or refrigerator?
after made I freeze them, and take out enought for the next couple days. (your only doing this next step when your ready to warm cats food) I always get a seperate container put it on the scale then turn it on, it should read zero. ounce you get the amount weighed for you cat or all the cats. then put the lid back on fill your sink with really hot water( only as hot as your sink water gets) let it sit for a little, it doesnt take long at all maybe 1 to 2 min. take it put and put it in your cats bowls thats it. if you have multiple cats do the same thing as in beginning but there food bowls on scale turn it on and weigh each cats portions out.
I am really excited about making their food. If you have rabbit recipe, I would be very interested. I can grind with bones and organs. Do I need to mix with chicken or beef?
How much of the bone meal powder do i use if i cant use the bones since i dont have a blender
What type of blender is that? I really need one that can grind bones that effective, cause my cats just spit out any bone pieces, even the smallest ones.
Zilver Player Vitamix :)
Ok. I had to choose between vitamix or blendtec, so i bought blendtec, and its also good. I have already used it several times.
Thank you for your interesting videos. You are awesome. What’s your opinion on the cat food premix like Alnutrin, Feline Instincts or TC Feline? It looks like it simplifies the raw recipe quite a lot.
Amazing video. Any suggestions for a cheaper blender that does the trick though anyone? The $500 blender is just an absolute no for me but I want to do this for my cat
Have you ever tried feeding them nutritional yeast?, my cats go "crazy" for it...luv your videos, you and your cats are sooo cute.
OMG!!! PUPPY is awesome! I want him... lol
On another note. I've been thinking of introducing my 2yr old cat "Samson" to a raw meat diet. Could you please suggest a portion percentage that won't upset his stomach.. He's primarily been eating dry food. Thanks!
hey! idk if youve already transitioned your cat to the raw food diet, but if not, heres a video! ruclips.net/video/PNofreqzqL4/видео.html
Love the channel
Hi, we created your chicken recipe, but I think I added too much fatm
Our cat ate it at first, a little bit, but now he won't touch it. We had him on dry food and had to switch him to canned wet food because he was breaking out in really bad allergies. He started eating the wet food from a can and so we tried to transition him to your chicken recipe, again I think we put too much fat, but he nibbled on it the first day and we thought it was a winner but now for the last 2 days he won't come near it. Do you think we should add some red meat into it and maybe mix it in with the chicken recipe that we already created? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
Awesome video. I finally made your last recipe only its more like this one since I added beef and my cat loves it. Hes never eaten his food so fast in one sitting. Thank you so much for these videos
thank you Mandolish! 😻
Hi, is there a written recipe for this particular recipe? I went to the diet link but only has recipe for the original version.
Hi Rieyan! Simply include the beef as part of the main muscle meat portion :) you can use the recipe calculator like I show in the video. Hope that helps & Thanks for watching! 😻
My cat hardly drinks water and had her first UTI. Is salmon oil a good idea to put in her water to get her to drink it?? How many drops would be ideal per day
Um I depend if ur cats on kibble then u should be a little worried if it eat raw then no worries they get there water from the raw meat
OMG I didn't know I could use other meat besides chicken! I'm going to use beef on my next batch. Ty!
You should use a variety of meat pork beef chicken bisen turkey ra it duck ect the more the better :)
How much does it cost?
What if i dont have access with the supplements. Is the meat enough nutrition?
milahoot no the supplements are a requirement. The meat alone doesn’t have all the nutrients and vitamin that they need
I makes my cat Wetfood instead of rawfood. I want to make rawfood but im not really sure😐 because chicken here are having injection even though I make boil chicken breast for my cats. Plus, the taurine, vitamin e and that other powder is so much costly. 😖 I just feel like I cant afford it. I just have omega 3 1000 mg which I mix after I boil the chicken. I read on the internet that every 4,5kg cats needs only around 250mg. So I guess thats enough.
Hi! Are you by any chance Indonesian? Just my two cents, it seems like chicken breast and fish oil only are not a balanced diet. If you can't get the supplements, I think you can get the liver, heart, and bones and just cut it into chunks instead of grind it, so the taurine etc don't get destroyed and hence there's no need for added supplements :)
Also I believe beef has some decent taurine levels if you can get your hands on it. You can find tables with the taurine amount for meats in different forms.
You cannot feed just chicken. A balanced raw diet for a cat must have a rotation of a minimum of three different proteins, fed over one week. And must be balanced as follows ; 82 -83% muscle meat / 7-8% bone / 5 % liver and 5% other secreting organ. This video does not teach how to feed a balanced raw diet to a cat.
Hello, I made this recipe and my chicken skin turned green, any idea why that would be? Leftover skins in different bag are still normal color, only the one in the mix
sounds like bad chicken cuz it should have never done that.
Where is this recipe? It's not on your website!
Thanks for sharing this video dear🌹🌹😍
Can i use this recipe for 4 month old kittens? I heard over supplementing is not good so do i need to decrease the amount of supplements in the recipe
As long as the kitten is starting to eat solids feed them what your gonna feed them for the rest of there lives. dont change supplements, its just like any other cat food out there they all have supplements cuz that cat cant get everyhting they need since there not catching there whole prey like in the wild.
Hey do you feed your fur babies kangaroo ive heard it’s really good for them and a great/cheaper version to using rabbit my little Maine coon was born 2 days ago so I’ve got a 14 week wait till I can pick him up but I’m going to go down the raw food avenue this time because our little boy that just passed away a little over a week ago died from bad kidneys as someone baited him so our new little baby won’t be allowed outside unless he’s on a harness love your vids thanks for the help cheers.
Probably not good for the kangaroo. 😜
Hello! Thank you for this video. I did a rough version of your recipe as a test run for my kitty. I spent about $10 between two stores and ground the meat all down. I wasn’t super exact with the measurements since I figured it was a test to see how he’d respond to it. Thus I also excluded the supplements at this time. It was hard to get him to eat it. He ate a tiny bit, but I’d have to hold him there for the two meals (the first day) to make him eat any of it...otherwise he smelled it and walked away and complained that he couldn’t eat. First time it was cold, second time it was room temperature. Up to this point in time, he’s been eating Blue Wilderness dry cat food and Pate Nutro...I guess my question is, is there any benefit to having some of his meals forced on him and be raw? Does it help flush out the bad ingredients from his processed foods? Maybe I can slowly increase it over time, but this first day was rough, even got some smell complaints from the hubbies. lol
definitly a work in progress with cats that have been fed dry for a long time. i finally got my probably 15 year old cat switched over. sever health conditins with my 3 year old cat that i lost pushed me to do everything i could to help him. he never got to try the cat food. but my 2 cats that where raised strictly on the raw food are very very healthy and have never at processed cat food they wont even touch it. try wet food for a bit and go from there that what helped mine took a bit bit im finally at the raw food with him. Could you tell me what kind of smell cuz it shouldnt smell bad. i can smell all my raw ingredints and they dont really smell like much definitly dont smell strong or bad?
Try a little Fortiflora sprinkled on top or grind up the dry food and sprinkle on top. My 5 year old cat took to raw food fairly quick and I weaned him off of dry food (bad stuff) and only gave him small amounts as a treat. Took about 2-3 weeks. I also use Lisa A. Pierson, DVM half raw recipe. Main thing is, get your cat off of dry cat food and switch him to wet. I spent thousands last year on vet bills for urinary tract problems for my cat because he wasn't drinking enough water.
where can I find the print out of this recipe
Do you have a recipe for healthy treats/snacks?
Or a list of things that are good for treats.
Freeze dried chicken beef ect wet food commercial cat treats tuna and egg and bake ect
How do you disinfect everything once done?
personally i use soap and water thats it nothing special .
I started feeding my four month old kitten with raw food a few days ago, got all the ingredients and Followed the recipe with chicken thighs and he's been constipated. it's really bothering me. HELP!
Plz tell me in details vitamin masuarment.
If someone has not supplements then can we skip??
Nope! They're necessary in these recipes. Here's a video about that: ruclips.net/video/WEniCbmIAAw/видео.html 😻 thanks for watching!
Hi, at what age should the cat be to be fed raw food?
the second they can eat reg food away from momma cat. i have 2 cats that havent had a drop of anything else there entire life. just the same with all kitten feeding you feed them more often since there growing thats it.
Im a big fan can u make a what breed is your cat video plss keep up the vids 😉😄 im a subscriber forever
Good Lord! Shears?! I have 17 cats in my shelter. I use a butcher's cleaver, a cutting board, and a food processor. I also stay chunky, but I have to make 5 lbs of this stuff every 4 days. I don't have time for shears, lol.
Would this diet be safe for an 8 week old kitten?
great for kittens as long as there starting solids just like any other cat food give them more feedings
Why the taurine and b-complex when that is already going to be in meat naturally? especially if raw, shouldn't be cooked out...
In muscle meat or organ there not much taurine just give then some heart u will be good to go
@@wolffixx4116 yeah I give my cat heart at least once a week. chicken or beef, he loves it as long as it's rotated with other things.
@@Sean2046 ok that's great I recommend at least giving mabe 1 heart every day or other day
What's the ratio between chicken:beef meat? Thanks before :)
It varying bc beef is more healthy so mabe 2/1 or even amouth
Your cat looks like my Coconut, but with more orange on him and mine has a striped tail. Love your videos, been looking for a better quality cat food without the giant price and could not find anything that was perfect, they all had some ingredient that was not healthy, so I am going to make my own.
Hello!
I've been wanting to switch my cat over to a raw food diet for a while now, but I cant find chicken hearts anywhere!
Is there anything else I could use to substitute?
Thanks so much!
Miranda
In case you still needed a good source 3 years later go to haretoday youll find all the amazing hearts and livers
@@emilycave7913 lol 3 years is a long time
thank you, you help me alot
I have a new kitty and I was researching reasons she is vomiting and came across your videos. Intrigued I was curious if your recipes were safe for her she is 11 weeks old. Thank you in advance 😉
She actually has a video about it --> ruclips.net/video/ls084-mbrv4/видео.html
Hi Sarah! What Venus said 😘 thanks for watching and congrats on being a new kitty mama!
What do you do if you don't have a blender?
Hi Pandastic! Check out this video showing you how to do just that: ruclips.net/video/WNCzfJjtK8o/видео.html 😻also make sure to check out CatLadyFitness.com because I have substitutions for bones, calculators, and more there :) thanks for watching!
Do you use catnip as a treat or in your foods I've heard that cats go crazy for it. Just wanted to know
I can’t find organ meat in my area, only liver. 😞
Go to an Asian market (Korean, Chinese, Japanese, etc)
Then liver it is. Honestly, I think she makes this far too compacted. I want my cat on a raw food diet, don't want to start a science lab.
Could I use a meat mallet on the bones and just...take out my aggression to pulverize them?
So you just put the bones in the blender? 😱 I thought I'd need a meat grinder for that, I've been using a completer until I can buy a grinder & start incorporating bone.
Oh cool just saw this!
Hey can some one please tell me why my male adult cat is yowling at night?
cats can just do that just to be vocal, my cat likes the roam around on the first floor yowling while everyones sleeping, pretty normal
My cat isn’t super crazy about chicken (except the skins,he loves em) but he LOVES red meat, I got him some ground bison the other day and he wouldn’t even let me warm it up for him lmao.
soap and water tho...
where's the cat eating the food?
Shes just showing the prep
Shouldn't a cat's raw food diet consist of mice and chicks?
It should if it isn't balanced also its rlly beneficial but u dont always have to
lol puppy almost got a bite:)
And what if you cant afford all the supplements which are expensive!!!???
Thanks for your video and I’m gonna start my raw cat food soon😍
"NOOOOOOOO"! hahhah so great. Thank you so much for your efforts! I actually spent 100$ on supplements yesterday and am so excited to switch my cat to your raw cat food recipe!
yayyy you uploaded I love seeing you and puppy's faces, this is coming from a recent subscriber
Halfrican_Goddess 😻😻 xx!
Hi! I have 2 questions:
1. I buy my chicken thighs in fillet and the bones separately, so the "take 2 bones from 10 thighs" ratio kind of confuse me. Is it ok if I put 10% of bones from the total weight of the chicken thighs meat (referring to 80/10/5/5 model)? For example, if I were to use 1kg of chicken thighs, I use 100gr of bones?
2. I have some chicken gizzards, if I were to use gizzards, is it ok if I reduce some amount from the chicken thigh? Example, original recipe calls for 1kg of chicken thigh, can I use 800gr of thighs and 200gr of gizzard? What thigh/meat:gizzard ratio do you suggest?
Thanks in advance! Sending nose kisses to Puppy
Can you give this to 8 wk. old kittens
Yes you can
You had me until you mentioned "the calculation" part. Now it's becoming confusing . Couldn't you just eyeball it you gotta bout ...3 pounds of meat there and just sprinkle some of this and some of THAT in there? Does it HAVE to be so um "PRECISE"????!!!!
