How to Make Homemade Cat Food With Rice

Preparing a balanced diet for your feline does not require opening a can of cat food. All natural homemade cat food costs less and has no added preservatives. Since you know all of the ingredients going into your cat's food when you make it yourself, you can ensure the highest quality. As natural carnivores, cats prefer meat, but they also need grains such as rice. Combine rice with meat for a homemade cat food recipe so good that you can enjoy it yourself. As with any homemade diet, consult with your cat's veterinarian to determine if your pet needs additional nutrients or supplements.
