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.

I also now and again feed Chicken hearts as a treat and they do get prawns but most of them don't like them, so they can tend to be a waste, I actually meat a guy at the store in Almelo where I buy my chicken the other day he makes these dried BARF feeder snacks, I had his buisness card in my pocket, then I washed my coat lol... so I no longer have it..

I do give them pigs ears they like them... but I did not know there was such a thing as a food drier I would be very interested to read about this... please...
