Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Steam or poach chicken thighs until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F); do not season.
  2. Boil chicken liver and hearts for 10-12 minutes until fully cooked; chop into small pieces.
  3. Hard-boil both eggs, then mash including the washed shells for calcium content.

  5. Lightly steam broccoli until tender and mash or puree for digestibility.
  6. Cook pumpkin until soft and mash thoroughly.
  7. Render chicken skin lightly in a pan to release fat; chop finely.

This recipe provides high-quality animal protein and fat to support skin and coat health, with taurine and omega-3 fatty acids from salmon aiding in skin barrier function and anti-inflammatory effects. The calcium-phosphorus ratio is appropriate for adult cats, and moisture content supports hydration. Always consult your veterinarian before transitioning to a homemade diet to ensure it meets your cat's individual health needs.

🧊 Safety & Storage

Refrigerate portions for up to 3 days; freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen portions in the refrigerator overnight, never at room temperature. Wash hands and all surfaces thoroughly after handling raw poultry. Discard any uneaten food after 2 hours at room temperature. Always use fresh, high-quality ingredients and avoid any seasoning, onion, garlic, or salt.

⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning

Do not substitute liver with other organ meats without adjusting vitamin A levels; excess liver can cause hypervitaminosis A. Do not replace chicken with plant proteins as cats require animal-based amino acids. Avoid adding grains, dairy, or vegetables beyond those listed as they may cause digestive upset or nutritional imbalance.
