Raw Food Recipe for Dummies – 80/10/10
There are many options for an easy scoop and serve premade food, but making raw yourself can be easier and less expensive. Cat CRAP has an easy calculator to input and balances recipes using different cuts of meat/bone/organ (80/10/10), and here's a small basic recipe with the bone for you to try at home:
PLEASE NOTE – the wings cannot be subbed with any other bone as the bone content is different; therefore, the ratios will not be correct.
0.25 lb of chicken wings (cats can chew on the wings whole, or you can cut them into smaller bite-sized morsels)
0.78 lb of any boneless meat, except chicken breast or rabbit (these have lower taurine and fat levels and should not be the main protein for a cat – I prefer to use chicken thighs or drums deboned but with skin/fat on as it is very beneficial to cats)
0.11 lb of any liver (in this case, I prefer chicken versus beef as beef tends to be too rich for many cats)
Water to taste – 2 or 3 oz is a good starting point for this recipe. You can add before portioning or just before serving.
Optional Ingredients
0.10 lb of tinned sardines in water or tomato sauce (do not feed raw fish!) Sardines have the highest omega 3 content, and fish is fed for the omega 3 to help balance the omega 6 in the meat.
1 raw egg without the shell
Directions
Mix all ingredients – use your hands, use your feet, use a spoon, use a couple of spoons, use a drill with a mixer attachment, use whatever takes your fancy to mix it.
