Cat Food is very important for the overall health and fitness of any cat. Whenever your cat has a problem, always go see a vet before doing anything on your own. It will not only save you time but also the health of your cat. However, here are few recipes for cats with diabetes and kidney problems.
1. Special Dinner for Sick Cats
Ingredient:
1 egg
1 tablespoon minced, cooked green beans
1 teaspoon shredded carrot (if you substitute other vegetables, avoid the ones with a lot of natural sugars)
2 tablespoons baked chicken breast (no skin) minced
1/3 cup cooked brown rice (unrefined; wild rice is good)
1 tablespoon olive oil (good for preventing hair balls and constipation – common to diabetics)
Method:
Blend all the ingredients thoroughly in a food processor until the rice do not stand out separately. This is beneficial in 2 ways: the fiber is good for diabetics and protein intake has to be limited where cats with kidney problems are concerned. Cook it over low heat and keep on stirring it until the egg has been cooked properly. Take it off the heat and let it cool before serving it to your cat. For whatever is extra, you can store it in the refrigerator for a maximum of 36 hours. To use it for longer periods of time, freeze it and use it whenever needed.
2. Food for Cats with Kidney Problems
(do consult your dr. before using this recipe)
Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups (2/3 pound) ground chicken, turkey or lean heart
4 cups cooked white rice
4 eggs
2 tablespoons cold-pressed safflower, soy or corn oil
1,500 milligrams calcium
1/8 teaspoon iodized salt
1/8 teaspoon potassium chloride (optional, for a saltier flavor)
1 teaspoon parsley, finely grated carrot or other vegetable (optional)
5,000 IU vitamin A
Taurine and other cat vitamins (about 5 days’ worth)
50 milligram level B complex (or 10 milligrams per day)
2,500 milligrams vitamin C (½ teaspoon sodium ascorbate)
Method:
Put everything together and mix well. Give it to your cat as it is. If it refuses to take it, then mix everything in a baking pan except the vitamins. Put it in the oven for about 20 minutes at moderate temperature. Cool it and then add the vitamins. You can now serve it to your cat. You can also at times add 2 to 3 tsp of liver in place of meat to make the taste different.

Ingredients:
4 parts carbohydrate: Pureed barley flakes and/or baby food creamed corn
2 parts protein: Lightly broiled chicken or beef or raw organic egg yolk and cooked white- used with meat, not alone (you can also use baby food chicken)
1 part vegetable: Chopped or finely grated raw vegetable or vegetable juice- carrots, zucchini, and alfalfa sprouts are ideal
2 tablespoons Vita-Mineral Mix
2 teaspoons soft butter
Method:
Mix all the above ingredients together and blend them into a fine mixture. You can store it in a glass jar and give it to your cat whenever needed.
There are other things that must be administered to your cat if it has kidney problems. These include the following:
1/8 teaspoon mixed mineral powder
1/16 teaspoon Pet Tonic (a B vitamin and iron tonic available from the veterinarian) or 1/2 of a low-potency B complex capsule (10 mg level)
1/4 teaspoon or 1/2 tablet mixed digestive enzymes
All of the above must be given to your cat every day by either mixing them in the meal or by giving it to them through a dropper. Also, give the following ONCE every week:
400 units of vitamin E (alpha tocopherol)
A capsule containing 10,000 units vitamin A and 400 units vitamin D

Method:
Cook all the meats and the rice separately. If need be, finely chop the meat. Leave the minerals and vitamins and mix the rest of the ingredients together. If you have to serve your cat then add the vitamin and mineral supplements in the serving by crushing it and mixing it in the food. Otherwise if you think your cat can take pills directly then give them as they are. You can also refrigerate it in a covered bowl.
