Special Holiday Kitty Dinners?

[asrowley]

One thing we always did was the liver and gizzards, we boiled them up and fed them to the kittens. I didn't get the chance to do so this year because I was working but the kitties love it. I'm a sucker for feeding my cats some scraps, no lie there.

Does boiling/microwaving the gizzards make them any softer?
I did give my cat colony a bunch of gizzards, and they weren't crazy about them. Maybe because they're not use to chewing their food?

I got them some Fancy Feast Appetizers. The ones that come in a plastic tray and cost over $1 each. Big mistake. Fay decided she's like's these and is on a semi-hunger strike till she gets more. A semi-hunger strike is when she goes to the food I put down, looks disappointed, meows then walks away but will come back in a few minutes and eat it.

I give the gizzards raw, but give them a pulse in the blender to chop them into easier pieces. I add a touch of water to them when I do and just pour the whole thing onto their plates.

For the holidays the cats got the giblets pulsed, warmed and raw, the dogs got the neck bone.
