Today, we made vegan cat food using Vegecat cat food vitamin mix that we ordered online through a man who makes this stuff himself, at his house.
The process took about 3 1/2 hours including the amount of time my boyfriend and I sat on the couch and picked apart every individual kibble bit before dehydrating them entirely. It helps if you do that part of the process while watching a netflix movie or something. It was almost therapeutic.
Finally, when the food was placed in his bowl, he was immediately curious and came over to check it out. My cat, Stanis, then quickly began to "cover" it up by pretending to bury his food bowl with the carpet around it. This is something that cats do with their litter to cover up their feces. I didn't guess he liked his new food too much. Even an hour after we covered it up with his regular food entirely, so as to see if he would get tricked into eating, he refused to eat his food.
The guide suggested that we use nutritional yeast to lure him to eat his food. (Little did I know that sprinkling nutritional yeast on food worked for things other than human vegans). Just a few minutes ago, almost 5 hours after we started this mess, Stanis picked at his food for a good five minutes or so. I'm content.
We're going to add more to his bowl for his next meal. Maybe next week, we can make the wet food!
