Hi Andrea. Actually, nowadays, we buy ground turkey, so we don’t have to blend or food process it.

I just bought the supplement and the recipes for my two cats. The recipe is not all that clear. Do you blend or food-process the whole mixture so that it resembles the pate of the canned food (the canned food that my two cars are accustomed to)? Or would that just liquify it, which would be disgusting?

My son has a farm and his cats never get “store bought” food.

Instead he feeds them chicken parts when he cleans his free-range chickens. He also feeds them rice but at least half of their diet must be hunted on the farm.

He gets the females fixed and regularly adopts.

He doesn’t have too many cats or rats!

I make dog treats but not dog food. My dog is very jealous of your cats!

Lucky cats. What struck me is how you considered the carbon trail left by your lovely companions and actually doing something about it.

Thanks for letting me know, MB. I just fixed the link. Be aware that you will still have a plastic BalanceIT container to recycle, but it will be a lot less waste than all those cans.

delighted to see this post (i got here through one of your more current posts about the containers, but the kitty food is what i was most interested in!) the link to the petdiets calculator isn’t working, any chance it needs to be updated? i would love to start doing this for my kitty, the cans from her food are the only thing i put in the recycling bin now, and i’m ready to just cancel my curbside altogether…

I think it’s wonderful that you keep from wasting so much plastic! However, it seems odd that part of the reason you do this is health reasons, yet you use a microwave??

We’ve been making our kitty-food for a couple of years, using the Feline Instincts supplement powder (raw organic turkey and chicken livers is the meat we add) — originally to help a beloved kitty with some health problems. We strive to keep our plastic use way down, and like you, Beth, our kitty needs are one place that has been difficult. I just watched your TED talk (bravo!), and it never occurred to me just ASK the Feline Instincts folk to change their packaging. Doh! I’ll be writing them later today.

Thanks for all you do in your life — it inspires me to keep going with reduce, recycle, re-use. We generate very little garbage compared to many, but I know we can do better — thanks for helping me look at “what else?”
