I brown some ground chicken in olive oyl, add a touch of cheddar and then stand back, especially if Scrappy 2 and the Tubster are there at the same time.
They are great at swiping morsels of food.
Age Vs Experience at its best there.

Does Felix have a history of urinary crystals? If so, I would be very careful about making a homemade diet....in regards to magnesium content, resulting urine pH, etc. If your cat has any special dietary needs, I would consult a veterinarian for homemade recipes or a food therapy protocol. I work for a veterinarian trained in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine and she does one-hour appointments to discuss food therapy and herbs for individual pets.

I don't have experience with raw, only homecooked. Two books with homecooked recipes for cats that I would recommend are:
Home-Prepared Dog & Cat Diets: the Healthful Alternative by Donald R. Strombeck
&
Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs & Cats by Richard H. Pitcairn

Also switching a cat from addictive "crunchies" to foods with an entirely different texture can be very difficult. Be sure your cat never goes for more than 24 hours without food!

Does Felix have a history of urinary crystals?

No Felix was put on the Hills perscription C/D by his vet when I got him neutered to help prevent the forming of crystals which are known to neutered males.

I got a nutritional consultation via Pet Diets for a homemade diet.
