Quick Feline Eggfest! *
From Dr. Pitcairn’s Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats by Richard H. Pitcairn, D.V.M., Ph.D. and Susan Hubble Pitcairn
• 2 Eggs
• 1/3 teaspoon bonemeal (or 250 milligrams calcium or 1/8 teaspoon eggshell powder)
• ¾ teaspoon nutritional yeast (brewers yeast)
Use a fork to mix the egg yolks and whites, stirring in the bonemeal at the same time. Sprinkle the yeast on top and serve raw. Or, if you prefer, you may scramble this egg mix lightly.
YIELD one meal, or about half a day’s rations for a 10-pound cat with about 170 kilocalories. A smaller cat might eat just one egg at a meal.
*Leslie’s note: I use these dinners as a special treat for a cat’s good behavior. For example, used the litterbox that day while you were out or did not scratch the furniture all day. These meals are not a total replacement for a balanced diet. Please refer to Dr. Pitcairn’s book for ideas on a complete natural diet.
