Add the minced veggie (carrots are good with this one) and the barley grass powder. Stir well. Last add the oatmeal to achieve the consistency that your cat likes.

Home Cooked Meal for Kitty

Meat - Ground beef, lamb, chicken, turkey - NO pork - (the coarser the ground, the better). For each pound take 6 oz of spring water (or low salt broth) add 4 drops grapefruit seed extract and mix into meat. Add water and/or broth until you get the consistency of thick chili. Per each pound of raw meat add:

Approximately 2 cups fresh (uncooked or very lightly steamed) vegetables (finely chopped in the food processor) - for example, carrots, zucchini, etc. (Tip: carrots are good to start with - they are sweet).
Approximately 2 cups cooked grains (finely chopped in the food processor) - examples include rice, cereal, leftover potatoes, and oatmeal.
Kitty Bloom brand calcium supplement per package directions (including adding the salt) and Kitty Bloom brand vitamin supplement per package directions. You can substitute bone meal or other calcium per various authors. Two or three times a week add some coat supplement. If stools get too loose, cut back on oil.
Optional:

1T aloe Vera juice (no sodium benzoate and not during pregnancy). This is very helpful for any digestive problems and/or allergies. Sprinkle acidophilus over food at mealtime. Especially helpful for cats who have been recently on antibiotics or have had any sort of digestive problem. Sprinkle some Florzayme or Prozyme over meal just before serving... especially helpful when changing a cat over to fresh food from commercial food.
Feed at least twice a day. You may freeze or keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
