Cook for your cat


If you do not trust animal feed and if you have lots of leisure, there is no reason not to cook for your cat. There are several cookbooks for cats which can give lots of good ideas.
Cats are primarily carnivores. They also need other nutrients for good health. A food varied and adapted to its age and lifestyle is essential. In addition to meat, you can add cooked vegetables or rice. They can also consume boiled egg and cheese in small amounts. Avoid spinach, leeks, cabbage, garlic and onion. But there it is unlikely that your cat would hold it against you. Chocolate is also a dangerous food.
Cats are also fond of fish, particularly tuna. Do not forget to rinse the canned tuna before giving it because it has a high salt content. For example, you can mix a box of tuna with hard boiled eggs, some cheese and cooked green beans before adding a little stock of fish.
Attracted by the smell, your pet will come running. Being a cat, he may well leave without touching anything, staring at you with a reproachful look, wondering what you have invented again but do not despair: there are plenty of possible receipes.
