I made cat food from raw beef liver for many years when I lived in Mexico City, and there was no commercial cat food to buy.  I cut the liver into small pieces and froze it in small bags.  It was a very slimy, despicable job, but I did it for years.  I tried cooking it first, but she wouldn't...

I have a 4 year old male cat, but I help my friend and neighbor take care of her 4 month old female kitten at times.  She is not very computer literate, so I told her I'd help her research this problem.   The kitten, named Heidi, will need to be spayed as soon as she is old enough.  Do vets...
