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 eat it like that. I was very happy when Friskies canned and dry food finally started to be imported to Mexico. She liked that food, and lived for almost 20 years.
Now that I'm back in the good 'ol USA I've generally used a combination of canned and dry. This current 4 years old cat I have now, Newman, refuses to eat anything except dry food (usually Iams Naturals), and drinks a lot of water from a cat fountain. Sometimes he does eat a little canned pate like a supplement, but only for a couple of weeks at a time, and only one flavor. I offer him raw meat sometimes, or cooked meat or fish, and he refuses it. I've never had a cat like this. He is a little overweight (@ 15.5 lbs.). I worry about him not getting enough protein.
