I tried this rabbit and liver nutrient boost recipe when my cat, Milo, needed a novel protein after a food trial. The rabbit is mild and the liver adds richness, and he eats it without hesitation.
This cat food recipe is simple to prepare and ensures that your feline friend receives a balanced meal filled with protein. Rabbit meat is a great source of lean protein, while liver provides vital vitamins and minerals.

I refrigerate the portions in small containers for up to two days since liver spoils quickly. Milo eats about a quarter cup twice a day, and the batch usually lasts us two days.
