Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2006Cat Food Recipe (response to Fil's Tuna Worries)
This is the cat food recipe I found so intriguing: Gotta Have Sole 1/2 pound fillet of sole 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped water 1 tablespoon margarine 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1/2 cup milk 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 2 tablespoons chopped liver (pate) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup cooked rice 1.. Place sole in a small, greased baking dish. Sprinkle with the parsley. Add enough water to just cover the bottom of the dish. Bake in a preheated 450*F (230*C) oven for 10 minutes. Cool then and shred with a fork. 2.. Melt margarine in a small saucepan. Stir in flour and heat until bubbly. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and add cheese, liver, and salt, stirring until cheese has melted. 3.. Add the flaked fish and rice to cheese sauce and stir well. Cool. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I'd still prefer this with pasta rather than rice, and a good wine, but what the heck :) This is CAT food?! Jill In this case I would be more than happy to eat the cat's leftovers!!

I get hungry just reading it! A few years ago I posted this over to rec.food.cooking and asked folks to tell me what it was a recipe for... not one person guessed cat food. :) Oh, and sole isn't exactly cheap.

I'd say it's much better suited for human consumption than feline. ;o) (If you happen to like fish and liver, which I hated even back when I ate meat.) First of all, the fish is cooked/baked. The liver is at least heated when stirred into the sauce. This will probably destroy all the taurine. Secondly, many cats are lactose-intolerant, so milk is a no-no. Thirdly, the rice is completely superfluous. The cheese might be OK, if it doesn't contain a lot of salt and if the cat is thin enough to need extra fat. All in all, not good cat food, at least not for daily consumption. Maybe for an occasional treat. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

But with the rising prescription food cost, I am considering cooking feline appropriate food for Rusty. Winnie > Also fish is bad for cats with urinary problems.

Expensive as IAMs may be, I suspect you'd find making Rusty's food even more so! (Unless meat, poultry and fish prices are a good deal lower where you are than they are in Los Angeles.) It is not the price of IAM that I am concerned with since Rusty hasn't eaten any IAM for almost 10 years. It is the ever surging Hill's prescription I/D price that borders me. I pay 15% tax on cat food while I pay no tax on meat and poultry. That's what started me thinking about cooking for Rusty. But today the vet switched him another prescription food which is a bit cheaper than Hill's. So there is a bit of relief for me. Winnie >> Also fish is bad for cats with urinary problems.

It is the ever surging Hill's prescription I/D price that borders me. Oops! (Sorry, I noticed the reference to IAMs when I started my reply, but didn't really re-read your post to see it was the price of Hills that was giving you pause.) > I pay 15% tax on cat food while I pay no tax on meat and poultry.

Is restaurant "take out" taxed? It did not used to be, although you pay tax on the same food items if you eat them there. > But today the vet switched him another prescription food which is a bit > cheaper than Hill's. > So there is a bit of relief for me. Well, that's some help, anyway. > Winnie > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >>more so!

Just Google for Cat Food Recipes and it pops up. I didn't say it was GOOD for cats! Jill
