Not homemade food as such, but my friend's cat had the feline equivalent of IBS and wasn't tolerating pouches or dry food at all, so ended up on a raw food diet. My friend used to buy raw meat (chicken, beef, pork, etc) from the butchers and get him to mince it, then she'd divide it into portions at home and freeze it leaving out to thaw the night before so that it would be there for him the next day.
He did really well, came back to his usual self and she was able to re-introduce dry food very slowly to his diet, but she still doesn't give him a huge amount of it.

I think you just have to make sure they get enough taurine and protein and then you’ll be fine! I make mine home made dinner sometimes... prawns and/ or cooked chicken With a few peas and mash/rice if I have the time they love it!We also try to cook them some white fish once every couple weeks and they have that I just like knowing they get pure protein and a proper healthy meal now and again as I assume cat food is filled with crap but 90% of the time I have to rely on cat food xx

Oh and also if your only doing it for like one meal a week or something then you don’t need to worry about taurine as they’d still get enough from there dry food or whatever

Heya she is stunning!! I got a boy and girl siblings so I had to get them done at 5 months old just in case they developed early and mated together if she’s the only kitty in the house and won’t be going outside till 6 months anyway... then wait so she’s as strong as possible just do it at 6 months!! Then she can stay in for another couple weeks to recover then you can slowly introduce outside xxxx
oh And get her chipped at the same time just in case.

This is my Rocky having a cuddle from another rescue kitten, our Chico. Chico is a bit of an ambivalent cat about staying in one place but when he comes home he's the most affectionate little thing.

omg! I love cats with little "mismatched" faces, stunning! I waited too long to get mine spayed, I somehow thought it should be a year ( no idea) but by the time I got them, some were 10 months, others 7 (the latter had gone on heat, which then is high risk) i think it should basically be any time after 4/5 months

Our indoor kitten was done at just under 5 months and did really well once she got over the anaesthesia- we’ve since discovered that she reacts badly to it and/or the painkillers but once she got over that she was back to normal really quickly

Definitely possible to be cat broody. I kept saying I wouldn’t get another, we already had two big cats and two children, our house isn’t massive by any means. But when MIL sent us pictures of the kitten, I just fell in love with her. She’s so playful, currently asleep in my lap giving me all the feels.

Oh my god, precious

This is Liam he is 3 a diva and my favourite child (my teenager doesn’t have tattle)
In reference to the food discussion he has a pouch in the morning and evening dry food out all the time and a treat of cheese dreamies or a licky licks every night

The ginger one is the tabby’s kitten (she escaped but is spayed now). He was only 54g born and was too weak to feed and move, a few long nights feeding him with a bottle and keeping him warm and he learned to feed and grew nicely he’s my baby
