I make my own cat food. I know they need some amino acids that are only in meat (I'm a vegetarian and don't cook meat) but they catch enough rats, mice, squirrels, lizards, bugs and unfortunately a bird occasionally so they get their amino acids. They are very healthy on the food I give them and they eat it happily.

I usually cook brown rice with some lentils, or bulgur wheat with some lentils, sometimes using whey instead of water, then when cooked, for each bowlful I add a little olive oil, powdered milk, kelp, and nutritional yeast flakes. I give them leftovers (they LOVE most vegetables) when I have them, but don't usually have leftovers.

They love home made bread so much they smell it rising and hang around until it's baked and I give some to them. Of course they love cheese but don't get it often.

What you do for the animals you love!

My poor cats have to settle for commercial cat food, as I am no longer able to cook.

When I did, they ate people food and cat food, these cats do eat vegetables, even pork and beans.....

I offer what ever I am eating, or else they climb on me and I wind up bleeding.
