And now we cannot forget our kitty. Here are some special recipes that will win your feline's heart.


BEEF AND VEGGIE BROTH

1/2 cup raw trimmed beef
A few tablespoons of beef broth (Preferably not the canned or cubed
variety)
2 tablespoons cooked oatmeal
1 tablespoon dried barley grass powder (Find at a pet food store)
1 cooked minced veggie (Your cat's favorite - Carrots are often a
favorite)

Cook raw trimmed beef in just enough broth to cover, over medium to low heat. When beef is cooked thru shred with fork and mix with the broth
in which it was cooked. Add the minced veggie and the barley grass
powder. Stir well. Last add the oatmeal to achieve the consistency that your cat likes. This is a good cat food recipe for indoor pets

CAT JELLY

3 cups chicken broth
4-1/2 tbl flour
1/4 cup carrots --diced into small cubes
3/4 cup minced meat (cooked) pieces of fish- optional, but it would be
better to use this (COOKED)

After the chicken broth has been made, allow it too cool for around 2
minutes. Add all the flour and mix. Some flour might not dissolve but
this is absolutely no problem (It will when you heat the mixture later
on). Heat broth and flour mixture on high heat until a thick creamy
mixture is formed. Immediately add all other ingredients and pour all
contents of this meal into the cat's container. Allow it to set into jelly
like substance with the carrots, minced meat and fish suspended in it.
Serve to the cat.
