Best Domestic Cat Food and How to Make It

It sounds like you’re looking for the best and safest domestic cat food for them. If so, then what a coincidence. Because this time I will share about food for this domestic breed.

Good & Safe Domestic Cat Food

Now for this list, I use natural ingredients first. Here’s the list:

Fish and Rice

The first menu that you can give to the cat is fish and rice. Although there is actually a debate between cats lover about the permissibility of rice to cats. If my opinion is allowed. That’s why I love this menu.

But even though it is allowed, I give a note not to give it too much. And for those who say it’s not allowed, you can skip this menu. But you need to remember, that when you buy dry food, even the composition is also from plant-based ingredients such as wheat, corn, rice, etc. So I guess it’s the same, like the dry food. So I guess it’s the same, like the one that gives rice, the same uses vegetable ingredients.

Ok, to give fish and rice, you can do this by :

1. Choose fish that is not salted fish
2. Then boil it
3. Prepare some rice
4. You can make a ratio of 1: 1 or 2: 1, of which 2 is fish.
5. After the fish is cooked, separate the fish spines
6. Mix rice and fish meat
7. If necessary puree it
8. The menu is ready for you to serve to the cat

Why do I say not salted fish? The reason is that salted fish can make it fall out. The high salt content in cat food can cause fur damage to cause severe shedding.

To see what fish you should use, please refer to my other article Safe fish for cats.

Oh yes, here cats will get protein from fish meat well, while the fiber and vitamins they will get from rice.

Chicken with Rice

The mixture of chicken meat with rice is also a safe cat favorite menu. You can give your cat chicken liver or chicken breast. If you want your cat to get more protein, then give chicken breast.

Because the most protein content in chicken is on the breast.

To give it can follow our way:

1. Boil chicken meat
2. Prepare rice
3. When it’s cooked separate the bones and meat
4. Combine rice and chicken gizzards
5. If necessary puree
6. Food is ready for you to serve

Oh yes, the reason why I told you to separate the bones and meat is so that the cat will not eat the bones. Because bones can cause cats to choke.

For the nutritional content of this kampung cat food, the protein will be obtained from chicken meat, while the fiber and vitamins they will get from rice.

Tofu / Tempeh, Fish, And Rice

For the third menu, you can use 3 types of ingredients. That is rice, tofu/tempeh, and fish.

The way to serve it is as follows:

1. Boil tofu/tempeh, you can choose one.
2. Boil fish
3. Prepare the rice
4. After the fish is cooked, separate the thorns
5. Remove the cooked tofu or tempeh
6. Combine fish, tempeh/tofu, and rice
7. If necessary puree
8. Serve immediately to the cat

Oh yes, for the comparison can be 1: 1: 1 for fish: tempeh/tofu: rice. Or 2: 1: 1 where the fish is 2 parts. But we recommend using the 2: 1: 1, the reason that the fish will in addition to being a source of protein also be a lure because the smell of fish is very cat-like.

For the nutrition that cats get, animal protein comes from fish, vegetable protein from tempeh/tofu, and fiber and vitamins they will get from rice.

Eggs, Chicken, and Rice

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods for cats, especially in the yolk.

To make this menu you can follow this way. Here are the steps:

1. Boil the egg
2. Boil chicken meat
3. Prepare rice
4. Remove cooked eggs and meat
5. Separate the chicken bones from the meat
6. Combine rice, eggs, and chicken meat
7. For chicken meat, you can shred it
8. Serve to the cat while still hungry

The ratio can be 1: 1: 1. So each ingredient gets 1 part. Cats will get protein from chicken meat and eggs, and other nutrients they will get from rice.

Eggs, Fish, and Tempeh

If this one menu is full of protein, so each ingredient carries protein content. It’s just that if you look at this menu you have to prepare a decent amount of money once

For those who want this menu, here’s how to make it:

1. Boil eggs, fish, and tempeh
2. Remove the three ingredients when they are cooked
3. Separate the thorns from the fish meat
4. Combine fish meat with eggs and tempeh
5. Puree if necessary by kneading, or just mix it up
6. The menu is ready for you to serve

Oh yes, to boil the three ingredients, not in one place, because the level of cooking and ignition of each ingredient is different.

7 Cheap But Nutritious Dry food for Domestic Cats

Now if you don’t want to be complicated, you can read our recommendation.

For dry food for cats we recommend are:

Bolt

The first brand you can give to cats is the bolt brand. Why should bolt? Because the price is cheap but the nutrition is not bad

Besides street feeding, this food is also suitable for cats of other breeds.

For the review can see people’s opinions about bolt cat food.

There is one interesting thing, this food has been equipped with Appealing Flavor, which means that this cat food has a taste that makes the cat’s appetite increase, so makes cats love to eat.

Ori Cat Adult

the next brand that is right for giving the village cat food is the ori cat brand.

I’ve tried the Ori Cat Adult brand on 3 cats at once, and the result is that 2 cats like it and eat it. While the first one just smelled it. Because this is a wild village cat, I don’t know if it’s because the other cat has eaten at the neighbor’s or not hooked.

But if for native cats, this brand is really recommended.

Power Cat

Power cat is also one of the cheap village cat food, moreover, this is locally made in Indonesia. So surely those who make already know the tastes of domestic cats well. This food has a halal label from MUI. So, for those who like to look for halal cat food. This is highly recommended.

Oh yes, if you are looking for other halal food, you can visit my other article about the list of halal cat food brands.

Whiskas

Well, Whiskas is also highly recommended for street feeding. The reason is, of course, the price is cheap but the nutrition is also not inferior to the expensive ones.

Oh yeah, there are dry food and wet food Whiskas. For street feeding, just buy dry food.

Because the storage method is easier. I think the price is much cheaper. The difference can be 2x between wet food and dry food.

Excel

Excel is one of the brands that are most often found in a pet shop, of course, there is a reason. Well, in my opinion, the reason is of course because the price is relatively cheap and suitable for street feeding.

You can buy Excel food in large quantities, such as 10 kg for the long term. It can be for 1 – 2 months, depending on the number of cats you feed.

Using food like this is indeed simpler than making your own food. It’s just that sometimes people’s tastes are different.

Nice

Advice from some Indonesian cat lover friends, the nice brand is also very good for feeding your cat. Both domestic and expensive breeds.

Moreover, Nice’s low price is very suitable for the pockets of people like me. There are many packaging sizes that you can buy, starting from the 500-gram size to the 1 Kg size.

If I personally think just adjust it to the habits of you and your cat. Those who usually buy dry food should use dry food for their village cats or for their charity activities (street feeding).

As for those who are used to feeding with a human menu, yes, please. As long as the cat is hooked and you still pay attention to its health.

Same if you are used to giving fried and salty fish. From now on minimize to avoid. Instead, you can cook with boiled or steamed. While the selection of fish should be replaced with ordinary fish, not salted fish.

Because cooking oil and salt are not friendly to cat health.
