My cat eats barf

Since Cat's been on new insulin, I've started thinking more carefully about his diet. In an attempt to cut out grains, I'm giving a raw bones and meat diet a try. I was a little discouraged to see all the grinding and cutting involved with most recipes. (Even though I have a Kitchen-aid mixer, I don't have the grinder attachment) However, I had a flash of brilliance: call up Whole Foods and see if they'll grind up a whole chicken for me, bones, organs, and all. No prob, they said. In went a chicken and out came a little wrapped package. I also picked up some supplements to help meet a carnivore's particular needs.

Once home, I mixed the chicken with a can of salmon, some raw egg yolk and cooked egg white, B vitamins, taurine, vitamin E, and fish oil. The whole sloppy mess was divided into quarter cup servings and frozen. Gato loved the first batch, it must remind him of little squeaky prey animals.

Hopefully, it will help to bring his sugar down.
