🧊 Safety & Storage
Always cook chicken liver thoroughly to eliminate bacterial contamination. Never add onions, garlic, grapes, or xylitol as these are toxic to cats. Store refrigerated portions in airtight containers for up to 3 days; freeze individual portions for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. Always provide fresh water alongside meals.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Do not substitute chicken liver with beef liver without adjusting Vitamin A levels, as beef liver contains significantly more and can lead to hypervitaminosis A. Do not replace sardines with tuna regularly due to mercury concerns. Do not omit taurine, as deficiency causes blindness and heart failure in cats. Avoid adding grains, dairy, or vegetables beyond the small amount of pumpkin specified, as these may cause digestive upset and dilute essential nutrients.
