The following recipe yields enough food for 10-14 days for the average cat. For more guidelines in making this food, go to www.catinfo.org.

3 pounds of whole fowl or rabbit, including bones, organs, and skin
1 cup water
2 eggs (use raw yolks, and lightly cook the whites)
2000 mg wild salmon oil
400 IU vitamin E (powdered E in capsule form works)
100 mg vitamin B-complex (start with a smaller amount when beginning a raw meat diet; the vitamin has a strong odor)
2000 mg taurine, powdered
¾ tsp lite salt with iodine (when using chicken parts)
Liver (add 4 oz if the meat you are using does not include organs)
Psyllium (add when first introducing the raw meat diet to your cat. See www.catinfo.org for additional information on this ingredient)

    you may not need to add taurine when you include the organs and stuff. Also if your cat gets constipated you may not want to add ALL the bones in, you'll have to experiment.

    I'm actually lazy and lacking space to store a meat grinder, so I buy mine premade and frozen from one of the companies that sells that, then defrost in the fridge overnight.

    The cat gets whatever is on sale. That's it
