Prep time: 45 minutes
Yield: 8 1/2 cups
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the cornmeal or polenta, stirring rapidly with a fork or whisk until smooth. When mixed, cover and turn down to simmer until soft and mushy, approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Then stir in the eggs. Allow the mixture to cool somewhat, then mix in the remaining ingredients and serve.
Comments
This recipe is particularly high in protein compared with the other feline diets. It is especially useful for conditions that require the growth of new tissue but not necessarily the consumption of a lot of energy (calories). That makes it well-suited for a cat recovering from malnourishment or injuries as well as for pregnant cats and for kittens and mothers approaching weaning time. This nutritious fare provides 45.3 percent protein, 17.8 percent fat and a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 1.2:1. Calorie density: 4.6 Kcal./kg. dry weight.
