FOOD!!!!

So, as you guys know, i make all of Mufasa's food. Boil the chicken breast, shred it. Bake the livers, mash them. Prepare about 2 weeks worth.

Lately, ive just been boiling the breasts & shredding, then adding his supplements. If i do this, a pack of breasts (bout 5 breasts) will make a week and a half. Its been working for him, and as you see hes 1/2 way to remission (day 6 otj). But, it takes about an hour and a half of my time. And sometimes i forget to take chicken out of the freezer. Which means i run to store for some sheba.

After adding the cost, it comes to about 55 cents a serving, which is about the size of a 3.3 ounce can of fancy feast. When pricing out a 30 pack of fancy feast pate, it comes to 53 cents a serving.

Knowing im only saving 2 cents a serving, i stuck on should i switch to fancy feast or stay with making his food.

Suggestions?

Hi
No clue what the right answer is but since Mufasa is on day 6 OTJ I wouldn't change his diet right now. I would imagine keeping this as is would be best...for now.
Just my opinion

I was thinking that, but just wondered. Maybe something to do later but with a transition.

Yes, I don't think there is a right answer. I make chicken and freeze it. Takes a lot of time to dice it and package it in small containers. We use it to supplement the FF cans. Leo loves it, but he doesn't get it all the time. Just saying that's how I do it. Not the right or wrong way.

I make my own chicken cat food too. I do a couple of things to make it faster. First, I serve raw and get it freshly ground from the butcher. So all I have to do is add supplements, water and mix. 1/2 hour = 2 weeks of food. Second, I weigh out one day's worth of food, and put them in tiny Ziploc containers in the freezer. Another alternative is to vacuum pack them - though buying one of the vacuum baggers adds to the cost. Both the tiny ziplocs and a flat vaccum pack can be put in a container of cool water to defrost. It doesn't take long. I too have forgotten to take things out of the freezer in time! I try to make it part of my nightly routine - wash cat food dishes and take the next day's fuds out of the freezer.
