By Moses Wright

Cat owners make their own cat food for a variety of reasons. Many cat owners have concerns about the nutritional value of commercial cat food. Some cat owners make their own cat food to try to save money.

When cat owners make their cats food, they can create meals that are more similar to what a cat would eat in the wild. Many manufactured cat foods have much less protein and more carbohydrates than a cat would naturally eat. Some people who make their own cat food claim to save money, which is more likely for those who make several servings of cat food and freeze the bulk of it until it is used.
