This recipe is high in animal-based protein and fat, supporting muscle maintenance and energy needs for adult cats. The chicken liver provides vitamin A, iron, and B-vitamins, while salmon oil and sunflower lecithin contribute essential fatty acids for skin and coat health. The calcium-to-phosphorus ratio is lower than ideal; a calcium supplement (approximately 600mg calcium carbonate per 1000g food) should be added to achieve a proper 1.2:1 ratio. This recipe should not be fed as the sole diet without veterinary supervision and appropriate supplementation. Regular blood work is recommended when feeding homemade diets long-term.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Store in airtight glass or BPA-free containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze individual portions in silicone molds for up to 3 months. Thaw frozen portions overnight in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. Discard any uneaten food left out for more than 2 hours. Always wash hands and utensils thoroughly after handling raw ingredients. This recipe is intended to be fed alongside a complete commercial diet or as directed by your veterinarian.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do NOT substitute chicken liver with beef liver without adjusting quantities, as beef liver has different vitamin A and copper levels that can cause toxicity. Never replace salmon oil with flaxseed oil, as cats cannot efficiently convert plant-based omega-3s to EPA and DHA. Avoid using garlic, onion, or garlic powder as flavor enhancers, as these are toxic to cats. Do not omit the taurine supplement, as deficiency causes serious heart and eye problems in cats.
