See how easy it to make you own homemade Kitty Kibble - Give your cat safe food!
Kitty Kibble
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In another bowl, mash the mackerel into small pieces. Mix in the oil and water. Add the mackerel mixture to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. The dough is tough, so use your hands. Roll dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 1/4-inch bits, using a knife or pizza cutter. Mound the kibble bits onto greased cookie sheets and bake for 25 minutes. During baking, occasionally toss the kibble bits with two wooden spoons, so they brown evenly. Turn the heat off and allow the cat food to cool thoroughly before removing. Store kitty kibble in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This recipe freezes very well for longer storage. Tips on making homemade cat food Certain foods that should be avoided when you make your own cat food. Never feed your cat chocolate, alcohol, onions, pork (including bacon), raw fish, raw eggs, milk or bones. Each of these has its own ill effects on cats. Cats require five times more protein than dogs do, so dog food will not meet cats' nutritional needs. Avoid feeding your cat a vegetarian diet for the same reason. Limit the use of tuna because of the risks associated with the mercury levels in it. Cats easily develop a severe addictive allergy to tuna Indoor cats need access to wheat grass, fresh clean water, sunlight and fresh outdoor air. Always serve food at room temperature Your cat needs a calm, safe place to eat, where they have no fear of being chased or stepped on. Cat Lover Gift Basket: Use a cat basket as a "basket".
