Took a gander at this thread to see what all the fuss was about. After reading all the posts (and I'm a carnivore, and LIKE chicken liver), I started getting a bit queasy, with images of Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory dancing in my head. Livers...hearts...chop them up...lightly sautee...By the way, gizzards are pretty common in Japanese supermarkets, too, I think ("sunagimo"). Those should be fun to play with too.

That reminds me (this is Harvey's human speaking here, mind you), that when I was a little, little girl, my favorite toys were the chicken hearts that would come packed along with a whole chicken when my mother made roast chicken. I'd give the little heart a name, take it outside and have adventures with it and all that, and after it started smelling a bit too much, my mother would take it away from me...I was sort of a weird kid.

Harvey. Watch out for your mom!


Tomorrow it's steamed chicken thigh, and I think the day after we'll try boiled chicken hearts.

Ahhh, if only my science teacher could see me now. laugh out loud

Yeah, actually, Japanese eat lots of raw meats. Raw chicken and raw beef (and obviously raw fish and various cooked meat organs) are fairly normal here for HUMAN consumption, so it shouldn't be too weird a concept to give them to cats, eh?

Mom tried to feed me slightly cooked chicken liver and hearts and I completely turned up my nose. Mom was disappointed I didn't get it a chance. Any suggestions on how to make it more appealing to me? She hadn't thought of mixing it with wet food, but she'll try that next.

Mooch,be careful with the bone in the thigh cats can't eat cooked bone because they can easily choke.
Pixle May,I don't know anything you could add other than canned food.

Pixel May, yay, buggers!

I've read you can "bribe" with :

1) Wet food
2) Dry food
3) Freeze-dried meat
4) Tuna juice (canned in water)
5) Parmesan cheese

Not that I think that will make a difference with Mooch's fussbudget siblings! Hope something will work for you!

Oreo, thanks! I got cubed boneless chicken thigh, but I'll run my fingers over the pieces to be safe. Appreciate the heads up!

Does your mama feed you guys raw too. If so, my mom says that your should chop up the livers and hearts and offer them rawbecause cooking ruins a chunk of the nutritional value confused
A few weeks ago I would only eat it if it was mixed with canned food. But after two weeks of having it mixed in with it my mom finally offered me some chopped up chicken heart and some boneless skinless chicken. Both raw of course. I sniffed it and turned to walk away then I stopped in my tracks and came back and began wolfing it down. I love raw liver and heart! Tell your mama to leave it uncooked. Thats the best. Tell your mom that even if you don't like it that she shouldn't be tempted to cook it. She should mix it with canned food.
