Well it has been a year since we got our kitten Pixie, and it has been a rough year with this crazy cat but now she is finally come into her own as a great mouse catcher. every day she is bringing mice up to the deck and dropping them in her food bowl. The mice are breeding in the hay bales we used around the vege patches so she sits up there and waits. she doesn’t always get hungry enough to eat it all and yesterday she only ate the tail and left the rest in her bowl – disgusting!!!. So despite all my complaints about this cat to my girls who love her this cat has now grown on me.

After reading about a few people making their own dog food and also wondering what is really in the ‘canned’ stuff. I decided to make my own variation.
Taking a few different recipes I used
- 1kg mince
- half butternt
- 1 carrot
- 3 potatoes
- 2 eggs
- quarter cup rice
- 1 tablespoon tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon Vegemite
- breadcrumbs
- half zucchini grated
Basically I made a meat loaf! I figured if the dog did not like it we would eat it.
So cook rice and steam veges. Them mash pumkin. Mix meat, eggs, tomato sauce, vegemite, breadcrumbs, grated zucchini. Chop cooked potatoes and carrots to a small size. Add this into the meat mixture. Bake in oven apprx 180 for an hour

Cooked dog food
We made two pan loads and it should last approx 2 weeks.
Now any cheaper? probably similar, but we had all our home grown veg, eggs and I make the breadcrumbs
