Safe Handling and Preparation:

Sanitize surface before making. (I use hot water & vinegar.)
Cover surface in news paper, or something similar for easy clean up.
If using meat from Blue Ridge Beef, keep frozen until you're going to make it
Always use very fresh meat.
Thaw meat in fridge, not at room temp
Keep meats in the fridge while you're preparing everything else. Don't leave it out.
Minimize time that meat is out in room temp.
I suggest using gloves. I use food grade nitrile gloves. You can get these online, or at a food service store.
Portion and freeze immediately. If unable to freeze immediately, refrigerate and then freeze asap.
Wash and sanitize everything afterward
Wash food bowls after every meal.

Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio/Percentage of Bone:

Ideal ratio is 1.1:1 (first number is calcium, second number is phosphorus.)
But this ratio can vary from 0.9:1 up to 1.5:1
Another way this can be measured is by using 710% raw bone.

(If using preground meat, like in this video, just find out from the manufacturer what the percentage of bone is, or what the calcium to phosphorus ratio is. The label should include the amount of phosphorus and the amount of calcium. These amounts can be easily converted to find the ratio.)

Great article to get over the fear of calcium to phosphorus ratios: https://felinenutrition.org/nutritio...

Recipe for this Homemade Raw Cat Food:

4.5 lbs of Chicken Ground with the Bone In (raw) (Blue Ridge Beef, or another brand that has the correct calcium to phosphorus ratio/percentage of bone)
7 ounces of Raw Chicken Liver
14 ounces of Raw Chicken Hearts
8 ounces Drinking Water
4 Egg Yolks
2000 mg Taurine
4000 mg Salmon or Krill Oil
200 IU Vitamin E (dry or oil form)
200 mg BComplex
1.5 tsp Lite Iodized Salt (If using regular iodized salt, cut amount in half)
4 tsp Psyllium Husk Powder (This is optional, but I always use it. It adds fiber, with minimal carbs. If your cat is transitioning from a commercial food, I highly suggest it, so they don't get constipated.)
