Yes... the lovely sight of contented cats licking their paws after a good meal.
A while ago I'd forgotten to defrost their dinner so I gave them a can of Cosma from the emergency supply. Although Cosma is a good quality, it obviously did not make them feel sated and they kept crying hungrily for more.

Mine still like the ground meat – fortunately. It contains meat, bone and offal from beef, chicken, duck and rabbit, plus a small amount of mackerel. They get some for breakfast each day. Because I work from home I have the time to feed them 3 meals a day. The other two meals consist of things that are not in the ground mix. Such as turkey breast meat, chicken and rabbit organs, whole quail, and some more rabbit and duck bone-in meat. For extra taurine I add some chicken hearts or prawns once or twice a week.

Dairy products they sometimes get as a snack. For example Greek or Turkish yoghurt, or cottage cheese with an egg yolk mixed in.

A funny thing: these past few weeks I haven’t been able to get my hands on rabbit carcass… it was sold out everywhere! I suspect they were all processed into ‘game ragout’ for people's Christmas dinners, lol.

One more question: what do you do for treats? I bought a food drier so I can make them myself. It’s kind of fun to make your own cat treats… I will soon start a new thread on this.
