That’s pretty neat that you can the dog food you make also.
I just wanted to add, for those of you with cats, they have more specific nutritional requirements than dogs. There’s a couple of additives they need that they likely wouldn’t get from typical human food. Like taurine. From what I’ve read that originally comes from mouse hearts. But it’s pretty cheap to buy. Without it they won’t last very long.
When we get to pet food as a topic, I’ll post the cat food recipe I found on the internet and then I’ll post the one that I actually used that my cat would eat. As you know, cats can be picky. And I had to modify it because cotton couldn’t have grains or a few other items that were in the recipe. She lived the 17 and a half, she just passed away. And I had been making her food for probably 12 of those years. And she was always healthy, the vets were always pretty impressed with her blood test even at an older age.
Thanks and please do. We have a cat so it will come in handy.

When there was a cat food shortage during covid, I started researching cat food ingredients. It turns out that dark-meat turkey is the easiest non-seafood source of taurine.
Taurine is destroyed by high temperatures, so it’s best to cook the meat low and slow, and try to avoid canning it if possible. If you have to preserve it, freezing is best, with dehydrating the second-best option.
I’m using this as an excuse to add more turkeys to my livestock wishlist.
