Chicken Liver & Heart Cat Stew
Cats are true carnivores, and organ meat is the part they rarely get at home. Hearts bring natural taurine and liver brings vitamin A, so keep the portions small and steady.

- 200 g chicken hearts
- 100 g chicken liver
- 200 g boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup water

Steps
- Rinse the hearts and liver and trim away any tough bits.
- Simmer the hearts and diced breast in the water for 20 minutes.
- Add the liver and cook 5 minutes more, until no pink remains.
- Lift everything out and chop it into small, bite-size pieces.
- Stir in the pumpkin puree and enough cooking water to make a loose stew.
