Since we saw a cookbook that specialized in doggie treats yesterday, it seems only fair that we look at one for cats today. Real Food for Cats is a book with 50 (vet-approved) recipes for cat food and treats. The recipes are pretty straightforward and use ingredients that are available at the grocery store. There are Kitty Tacos, Shish Kebabs and Salmon Popsicles, as well as recipes for cats with special dietary needs.
I will admit, however, that I do not like the idea of the "tandem" recipes, which (with only a very few modifications) are dishes that can essentially be served both to pets and people. I don't care what it is, but if I made it for a cat, it is cat food and I'm not eating it. I feel the same way about preparing a meal to share with your dog, which is a feature in the version of this book for dog owners.

A cookbook for cats? What an utterly stupid, wasteful, and pointless product. How about a cookbook for homeless people instead, since they should eat well instead of your fat suburban cat.

I actually have the opposite opinion about eating food that is made for dogs and cats. I am really happy these recipes are 'uni-edible' (two-legged and four-legged creatures can enjoy them) as I fully expect to be eating cat food in retirement.

I think its Wonderful..!!..This is something that can bring Parents and Children together to Make Snacks and stuff for there Little Friends. So your kid doesnt turn into JeffreyD.from Wisconsin..You know the guy who started by killing animals because he had absolutely no respect for life..And if you want a cookbook for the homeless? Try the Anarchist CookBook! or the book on how to pick locks....
