Cost of my cat-foods has increased tremendously:
- Wellness Seafood Favourites variety-pack, grain-free, case 24 $16 -> $32 in last month
- Tiki Cat Pate Variety Pack Wet Cat Food, case 12 $8 -> $16 in last month
Now, these and most other cat foods are "out of stock" at many of retailers I visit:
- Petsmart
- Petco
- PetClub
- Pet Food Express (local Berkeley outfit)
- Amazon
- Chewy.com
I'm researching making my own cat foods. I've already been making my own dog foods for decades. Recipe for optimum carb/protein/veggie mix:
- pressure-cook 90-min chicken/beef/pork/bear/raccoon/squirrel/rabbit bones
- 2-cups brown rice
- 2-lbs meat variety chicken/beef/pork/bear/raccoon/squirrel/rabbit
- 2-lbs grated carrots,beans,squash,bell-peppers,etc.
- 4-cups chicken/veggie broth
Dump everything into pressure-cooker after bones are done and simmer for 15-mins. Let cool and freeze in weekly tubs except for one current serving.
