Homemade foods for cats are healthier alternatives to canned foods that are found in pet stores. However, making cat food at home can be a bit tricky. It is crucial to ensure that you are choosing the right ingredients and avoiding those that are harmful for your cat. In case you’re planning to whip up some meals for your kitty at home, then here are a few ideas:

This breakfast treat will quickly become your cat’s favorite. This kitty omelet needs only three ingredients: chopped bacon, a fully boiled egg, and a little amount of lactose-free milk. It can be simply cooked in a nonstick pan. If your cat likes veggies, then you can spread some over the omelet, and fold it and cut it into bite-sized pieces.

2. Green salad

Just toss all the ingredients together, sprinkle some catnip on top, and watch your cat happily munch on this delicious green salad.

To make this, the ingredients you would need include dry rice, broth or water, bacon, half a carrot (chopped and cooked), and salmon. Make sure to cook the rice and bacon well in the broth. Adding the salmon and carrot at the end will retain the strong flavors and taste that your kitty is sure to like.

4. Chicken pâté
A lot of cats love eating chicken. In fact, many end up preferring this to any other protein source. With this simple and healthy homemade meal, you can be sure that you are giving the best of nutrition and flavor to your pet. This meal is made from ingredients that you will easily find in your kitchen: baked chicken, steamed and mashed broccoli, steamed and mashed carrots, and chicken broth.
