I have seen some people having trouble to access the large collection of cat food recipes that is available in this website, I would like to explain once again that this is a BLOG! that means that only a certain number (6 in this case) of the latest posts/recipes is shown in the homepage, but if you scroll the page all the way down, you will notice a link that says "see older posts", then you find more tasty homemade cat food recipes.
Another way to do that is to pick directly the recipe that you like from the links on the right of the page, ..
I hope this helps!

- Meat and fish: All kinds of red and white meat and fish provides protein, vitamins (only with raw serving) and fat. Liver is a good source of vitamin A (again, only raw) but should not exceede 10% of a cats diet as too much vitamin A can be dangerous for your cat.

- Milk and Cheese: Dairy products are high in Protein as well as fats and calcium. Whole milk should not be given in large quantities and not very frequently because the lactose that it contains may give your cat diarrhea. But please note that cheese does not contain lactose and so can be safely given in small cat bite size pieces.
