Feline Nutrition Easy Homemade Recipe Calculator
This recipe calculator will help you determine the amounts of each ingredient to use based on the weight of the chicken thighs you are starting with. Enter the weight of the meat with bone after you have removed the extra bone and half of the skin and the calculator will figure out how much of all the other ingredients you need. Round off the supplement amounts as necessary. See Feline Nutrition's Easy Homemade Cat Food Recipe for complete step-by-step instructions.
Chicken Thigh Weight: Remove about 20 to 25% of the bone from the total amount of meat used. For example, if you use ten thighs, then take out the bone from two of them. This keeps the calcium/phosphorus ratio correct. Remove the skin from half of the thighs. If your cats are chubby you can remove all of the skin before weighing it. Don't remove the fat from the meat. Weigh the meat after you have removed these skin and bone amounts.
