In honor of National Kitten Day, we have a cat nutrition<\/a><\/span> topper that is sure to peak your kitty\u2019s attention and help build your bond. This can also be used for our not-so-kitten-aged kittens!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ingredients:
\n<\/strong>
\n– \u00bd pound ground beef (90\/10)<\/p>\n

– \u00bd pound wild-caught salmon fillet<\/p>\n

– 2 large eggs<\/p>\n

– \u00bd can organic pure pumpkin<\/p>\n

Instructions:
\n<\/strong>
\n1.\u00a0 Brown the ground beef in a pan until just cooked, drain, and place in a mixing bowl.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Cook the salmon according to your favorite method until just done, chop well, and add to bowl.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Lightly scramble the eggs in a pan until no longer runny. Add to bowl.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Add pumpkin to the bowl and blend everything together until totally mixed.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Keep in the fridge and replace up to 25% of your kittens normal food.<\/p>\n

**If your kitten likes veggies such as spinach, kale, green beans, or broccoli, feel free to steam up to 1 cup of them, puree them down and add them in!*<\/p>\n

Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lean Beef: Rich in essential amino acids and many other nutrients that kittens need to grow up strong and healthy. Generally, the leaner the beef, the better it is for a topper.<\/p>\n

Wild-Caught Salmon: Salmon provides healthy fats for brain development, vision health, and skin and coat health.<\/p>\n

Eggs: Nature\u2019s perfect protein. Nearly every amino acid your kitten needs to thrive!<\/p>\n

Pumpkin: Fiber for healthier stools and happy gut bacteria.<\/p>\n
