Recipes for Home Made Raw Food

My guys like Wildtrax. If the kitten has been eating only dry, you can either start adding in canned and then transition to raw or start adding in the raw to the kibble and gradually decrease the kibble and increase the raw.

Pounded Turkey Leg *****

Ingredients: one bone-in turkey leg
Tools Needed: Rubber Mallet or a hammer
Optional: plastic bag/wrap

Directions
1. Inspect Turkey leg to make sure there are no large globs of fat, remove. I've only had this happen with chicken leg/thigh combo where they cut them so they have a significant glob of fat attached at the top and lost two kittens because their system couldn't handle that much fat at one time.

2. Clean the surface that you will pound the turkey leg on (I pound mine on my garage or porch cement floors) -or- wrap the turkey leg in plastic baggies to prevent the juices from messing up your pounding surface

3. Pound the turkey leg with the rubber mallet or hammer with the purpose of breaking up the bones and exposing the marrow and softening and separating the meat. I give about 15-20 solid blows to the whole turkey leg aiming to crush the bone without causing too many splinters. (note - the raw foods lists say that food grinders cause splinters that can cut but they seem to say that pounding is OK, check with your vet or trusted source)

4. One normal sized turkey leg is Ok for an adult cat but I usually use scissors to divide a turkey leg amongst several cats or throw it in to a mother with a litter.

The pounded turkey leg is particularly useful when I have a kitten that is growing so fast that he becomes thin and for nursing mothers and for improving my relationship with a cat.

Question:

If I am feeding my Savannahs a raw recipe that calls for lite iodized salt due to the iodine in their diet but am currently and at the same time as raw having dry available for them at all times is it necessary?

I just don't want to give them more of anything they need and it just didn't feel right to put salt in their diet if not necessary. (I cut salt out of my diet but I understand dietary nutrition is different for cats)

Also, does anyone recommend a place to buy wild fish oil? I have a place to get everything else except for wild fish oil in capsule form.

Deborah, do you put the Wildtrax on their food or do you mix it with large batches of raw?

I sprinkle it on their food. The instructions on the Wildtrax say to keep it frozen to keep it fresh so you can either add it to your batches or mix it in the thawed portions.

Does it have instructions for adding Wildtrax to X amounts of food? With Alnutrin, you just add as many scoops as there are pounds, and getting the 3 pound coarse ground mix from Hare Today, I find it easy to make and then freeze it. 'Course, it's not too difficult to put it together with each bowl of defrosted food... my only issue there is if I forget during the morning rush!

Unfortunately no. The instructions are for per pound of cat's body weight.

You can probably call the company and ask.

Here is a recipe one of my buyers use.I kitty sat the F2 boy over the holidays and he is HUGE (11 pounds at 5 months!) and sooo healthy! I may start if vet says it is OK for pregnant queens :O)

• 4.5 lbs chicken thighs (72 oz). Remove the skin from half of it before you weigh it out. If your cats are chubby you can remove all the skin before weighing it. Don't remove the fat from the meat!
• 7 oz raw chicken liver.
• 14 oz raw chicken heart. If you can't source chicken heart, then substitute with 4000 mg Taurine. If you do omit raw heart, remember to make up the missing 14 oz of heart with additional chicken thighs. Your total weight for thighs would then be 5.375 lbs or 86 oz.
• 8 to 16 oz water. Use 8 oz if your cats like it firmer, or 16 oz if your cats like it soupier. I'd start with 16 oz, and then reduce it next time if desired. Use bottled water, not tap water which can have too many chemicals.
• 4 raw egg yolks. You can add the white also, but it must be cooked first. When initially using this recipe, don't add cooked whites; some cats with gastrointestinal issues may have an intolerance for them. You can add it later on, if desired, and monitor for any problems such as diarrhea.
• 2000 mg Taurine. This is in addition to the Taurine you may have added if you didn't use hearts. I always add a little additional of this so-important amino acid, just to be sure and to make up for any loss due to freezing. Taurine is water soluble so you don't have to worry about your cat getting too much.
• 4000 mg wild salmon or wild caught small fish oil
• 800 IU Vitamin E
• 200 mg Vitamin B Complex
• 1 ½ tsp Lite Iodized Salt
• 4 tsp Psyllium Husk Powder
