Mackerel Loaf

Canned mackerel makes a good occasional seafood to use with cats. Not only is it an economical protein source, but it comes from deep waters and is less likely to be polluted than fishes from areas closer to the coast. Cats can sometimes get addicted to seafoods. If so, hold firm. It's important to keep feeding a variety of foods.

2 15-oz cans of mackerel, undrained (or 3 6-oz cans tuna in oil or 1/2 lb cooked cod or other white fish)
4 eggs
8 slices whole wheat bread, crumbled or grain substitute
3 cups milk (or less as needed for moisture)
4 Tbs Healthy Powder
2 tsp bone meal (or 1200 mg calcium or 2/3 tsp eggshell powder)
2 Tbs vegetable oil
5,000 i.u. vitamin A
100-200 i.u. vitamin E
1 tsp fresh vegetable with each meal (optional)

Blend the egg, milk, and supplements together. Add the bread and mackerel and mix well. Serve raw or bake in a shallow dish at 350 degrees (farenheit) for about 20 minutes. Immediately freeze whatever cannot be eaten in the next 2-3 days.

Grain Substitute: 1-1/2 cups rolled oats (+ 3 cups water = 3 cups cooked) or 1 cup cornmeal or polenta (+ 4 cups water = 4 cups cornmeal) or 1 cup bulgur (+ 2 cups water = 2-1/2 cups cooked)
