Cat Food Recipe (response to Fil's Tuna Worries)

This is the cat food recipe I found so intriguing:

Gotta Have Sole

Marina...

I don't know where you got this recipe, Jill, but whoever developed it
does not know much about feline nutrition. I'd say it's much better

Just web-search for Cat Food Recipes and it pops up. I didn't say it was GOOD
for cats!

suited for human consumption than feline. ;o) (If you happen to like
fish and liver, which I hated even back when I ate meat.)

First of all, the fish is cooked/baked. The liver is at least heated
when stirred into the sauce. This will probably destroy all the taurine.
Secondly, many cats are lactose-intolerant, so milk is a no-no. Thirdly,
the rice is completely superfluous. The cheese might be OK, if it
doesn't contain a lot of salt and if the cat is thin enough to need
extra fat. All in all, not good cat food, at least not for daily
consumption. Maybe for an occasional treat.

1/2 pound fillet of sole
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
water
1 tablespoon margarine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons chopped liver (pate)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup cooked rice

1.. Place sole in a small, greased baking dish. Sprinkle with the parsley.
Add enough water to just cover the bottom of the dish. Bake in a preheated
450*F (230*C) oven for 10 minutes. Cool then and shred with a fork.
2.. Melt margarine in a small saucepan. Stir in flour and heat until
bubbly. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture
thickens. Remove from heat and add cheese, liver, and salt, stirring until
cheese has melted.
3.. Add the flaked fish and rice to cheese sauce and stir well. Cool.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
I'd still prefer this with pasta rather than rice, and a good wine, but what
the heck :) This is CAT food?!
