I've been making my own cat food!

Who is ready to help me add the extra vitamins though I know how much Lysine to mix in but I bought a bottle of taurine and Flax Seed meal. I couldn't afford the flax seed OIL so I got a big thing of the meal which is the same thing except dried. It will mix in just fine I think.

Alrighty.. so usually 8 cats eat the wet food and so I add about 2,000 mg of l-lysine to the pot but how much added taurine and flaxseed should I add?

I have been using low sodium organic chicken broth from whole foods (no corn syrup or preservatives for my kitties!) and I had been buying like the sliced chicken thingys but I couldn't find them last time I was at whole foods and ended up buying boneless chicken thighs. What would be best for the kitties?

To make the 'gravy' I mash up green peas in the chicken broth and it makes this green slime that they really love. I add broccoli and a couple other random non toxic veggies. I also wait until it's almost done and scramble in some eggs and the love that.

So am I doing everything right? I don't always do this but it's a nice treat for them and they gobble it up.
