Lookng for TC Instincts users...

[linda and guinness]

Hi,

I recently started to feed my cat Guinness, TC Feline + Chicken Liver supplement powder sprinkled over raw chicken. I was looking for ideas and advice from others who might use this brand. Some things I'm hoping to find out are:

What meat do you mix it with? Chicken? Do you get it already ground? Do you grind it yourself, have the butcher grind it or just cut it up? Do you buy skinless thighs or breasts? Do you ever add anything else, like egg, etc.

I guess I'm just looking for your process and trying to find out what would be best to do with my cat. Currently, I buy Henry's hormone free skinless chicken thighs, I quickly parboil them to get any bacteria off and then slice some in little chunks and run the rest through my food processor. I then add my TC Feline Instincts powder and make a big, gross, chicken-y mess and then put it into ice cube trays, freeze and then pop them out into a large Ziploc bag for individual feedings. Warming up in a cup of warm water before feeding. I only use chicken, but would be willing to switch to other types of meat, but I just need some other ideas.

Thanks so much for responding!

I used to use it. The only reason I stopped was because there was a delay in the shipping of the pre-mix and I picked up Wellness which my guys refused to eat in the past. They decided they liked the Wellness.

I would follow the directions on the mix. I would make a double recipe and use 3 lbs of boneless, skinless chicken thigh and 1 lb of boneless skinless breast plus 7 oz of liver. I have a grinder attachment to my stand mixer and would put everything through the grinder. The market I use didn't reliably have ground chicken or turkey and I felt I could control the freshness of the meat better if I ground it myself. I would then make "patties" that were 1/4 of a cup and package 2 patties together and then freeze. I could then defrost as I needed them.

I use a small specialty market and they don't have a huge selection. I could order venison or duck, it's just the cost would be much greater. All of the chicken was organic. My grinder won't handle bone, either so something like rabbit was out of the picture.

I don't know about sprinkling the pre-mix over food. It's meant to be mixed with water and the amounts of pre-mix are proportional to the amount of meat in order to feel a nutritionally complete diet.

Hi,

You can use any meat you want: chicken, turkey, etc. You can grind or cut up the meat yourself. I think Dr. Lisa recommends using thighs because they have more fat. You can do half thigh and half breast meat if you wanted to. You don't need to add anything else. The pre-mix contains all the vitamins/minerals your cat needs. You just need to add the meat and mix it together.
