πŸ“ Summary

Cat meatball "tangyuan": blend beef, chicken, and tuna into separate pastes, roll into firm balls, simmer 2-3 minutes, slice open, and cool before serving. A fun, simple topper for cats over one month.

1 Ingredients

Main meats: beef (tenderloin), chicken breast, and tuna β€” though duck, lamb, or others work too. No supplements needed. Suitable for cats over one month old.

2 Making the Meatballs

Step 1 β€” Prepare the meats. Step 2 β€” Blend each meat into a paste separately to make different “flavors.” Step 3 β€” Roll: take some paste, form a rough ball, then toss it between your hands a couple of times to make a solid, dense meatball.

3 Cooking and Serving

Step 4 β€” Cook: bring water to a boil, add the meatballs, and simmer in the boiling water for two to three minutes until cooked through. Step 5 β€” Slice them open (this boosts aroma and palatability; cut to any size your cat accepts). Step 6 β€” Serve once cooled to a warm, safe temperature.
