Dinner for a Pregnant
or Lactating Cat
Ingredients:
8 cups water
2 cups polenta (if cooked about 8 cups)
4 eggs
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ kilos turkey or chicken, ground
8 tablespoons Cat Multi Vitamin Supplement, powder
4 tablespoons bonemeal or 1 ½ teaspoons eggshell powder
20,000IU Vitamin A
200-400IU Vitamin E
2 teaspoons fresh greens with each meal (optional)
1000 milligrams Taurine supplement (optional)
Directions:
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Pour in polenta, stirring rapidly with a whisk to stop it from clumping.
After polenta is completely mixed into the water, put the lid on the pot and allow to simmer over
low heat for about ten to fifteen minutes. Once the polenta becomes thick and creamy,
slowly stir in the eggs and olive oil. Turn off heat and combine the remaining ingredients.
Important: Immediately freeze whatever cannot be eaten in 2 to 3 days.
Makes: About 8¾ cups, with 250 kilocalories per cup.
Healthy Hints:
Feed your pregnant or lactating queen approximately this amount daily:
for small cats:½ to ¾; for medium cats:¾ to 1 or more; for large cats:1 ½ to 2.
It is a good idea to use both white meats and red meats, or combine both
at the same time to ensure plenty of iron and other nutrients.
If you use red meat instead of white meat it is better to use slightly fatty meat.
If you do simply remove the olive oil from the ingredients.If you do not have
polenta available you can use rolled oats (same amount) or 8 cups of mashed potatoes.
It is also possible to use 2 cups (dry) of any of the following: barley, brown rice,
couscous, amaranth, bulgur, millet, buckwheat, spelt or quinoa.Polenta, which is
more coarsely ground, gives the best texture. You can usually find it in health food stores.
Add extra yeast for more nutrition and flavor.
This dish is excellent for pregnant or nursing queens,and their young developing kittens.
