Spoiling your cat with expensive and delicious packaged food is one of the best ways to display your love and gratitude to your feline companion for always being there for you to cuddle up after hard day work. But, that does not necessarily mean you have to run to the supermarket every time you want to feed your cat. In fact, that is one of the only few inconveniences that you have to deal with when petting a cat.

However, there are ample of homemade cat-friendly recipes you can stir up in your kitchen, so your pet does not have to take a sabbatical every time you run out of packaged foods. Cooking for your cuddly pet can also be extremely helpful and a more efficient way of getting rid of the salmon or chicken leftovers from your late-night party as well.

Packaged foods also come with their fair share of skepticism as you can never truly trust the integrity of the contents inside the package. Homemade cat foods, on the other hand, provide you with the assurance of cooking with your own hand; hence, ensuring the best meal for your cat, but most importantly, the healthiest treat possible.

The best part about cooking a cat food is that you do not necessarily have to be a world-class chef to knock up a delicious meal. With the right ingredients, you can prepare a delicious meal for your feline pet without paying much attention to smaller detail you usually take up while cooking a normal dish. Some websites, such as www.kneadcat.com also provides some insightful tips on the best types of food you can feed your cat to help you buy/ prepare the ideal meal for your pet as well.

Some of the most basic and simple homemade cat foods you can make using some of the most common ingredients.

1. Chicken

Who doesn’t love a good piece of tender chicken as a part of their dinner meal, right? Apparently, our feline companion shares the same sentiment when it comes to enjoying a mouthful of chicken for dinner.

What ingredients you will need

• 1 cup of baked or broiled chicken

• Chicken broth

• ¼ cups of mashed carrots

• ¼ cups of mashed broccoli

How to prepare

• Place all the ingredients into a grinder.

• Pour about 4-5 tablespoon of broth and puree the ingredients together until you get a paté cat food-like consistency.

• Add some more broth to obtain a suitable smooth consistency, but not soupy.

• Let it cool down to a consumable temperature before feeding your cat.

2. Mackerel

The love of cats for their marine swimmer counterparts is not a new revelation as they have been known to be extremely keen and enthusiastic about consuming fish as part of their lunch/dinner item daily. Cooking a mackerel is also one of the simplest procedures, as well.

What ingredients you will need

• 1 cup of canned or cooked Mackerel

• 1 tablespoon of cooked brown/white rice

• 2 tablespoon of chicken broth (or simply water, if broth not available)

• 1 tablespoon of sunflower

How to Prepare 

• Mix all the ingredients together and add the broth to obtain a smooth and gulping-friendly texture.

• Scoop out the mixed ingredients and let it cool down before serving your cat.

3. Trout

Trout is one of those special ingredients you feed your feline pet once a while to reward it for behaving itself and keeping out from scratching out your couch and pillows.

What ingredients you will need

• 1 cup cooked trout

• 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil

• 1 tablespoon of cooked broccoli chopped into small pieces

• 1 cooked egg yolk

How to prepare

• Mix all the ingredients into a food processor and grind them until blended.

• Scoop out the ingredients and let it cool down before serving your pet.

Note: You can store the food item in your refrigerator for up to three days, so you can prepare in abundance, if necessary.

4. Beef

If you thought your cat could only be enticed by fishes, you couldn’t be more imprecise. Cats, due to their carnivore nature, are more than capable of digesting beef, and in fact, it is a special treat for your purry pet.

What ingredients you will need

• 1 cup of finely ground beef

• ½ cup of steamed brown/white rice

• ¾ cup of curd cottage cheese

• 6 tablespoons of alfalfa sprouts, minced.

How to prepare

• Pan the ground beef until brown and drain it out completely dry.

• Let the ground pan-fried beef cool off before mixing it with other ingredients.

• Take a medium-sized bowl and mix all the ingredients together.

• Serve your cat immediately after finishing the mix.

5. Tuna

As it is already established earlier that cats love marine food, you can also add tuna to the menu. Tuna is a delicious fish which cats love to eat.  A simple recipe will be enough to make your pet finish his meal and be happy.

What ingredients you will need

• 3-4 ounces of unsalted tuna canned in water

• 1 hardboiled egg that is chopped in small pieces

• 1 multi-vitamin tablet which also contains minerals

• 1-2 crushed bonemeal tablets

How to prepare

Unlike other recipes, there is no need to cook this meal. You only have to blend all the ingredients finely and serve it to your pet; or you can keep it in the fridge and heat it a bit before serving it next time.

Besides the above mentioned recipes, you can add more in the list so that you don’t have to cook the same meal repeatedly. It will also keep your pet happy and it won’t be bored of eating the same food again and again. Vegan dishes are also getting quite popular with pet owners these days so you can make some at times.
